Paramount Cancels TMNT Spinoff and Dora After Merger

Paramount Global has canceled two animated series from its Nickelodeon lineup, "Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Dora," as part of a broader restructuring following its merger with Skydance Media. The decisions, announced in November 2025, mean the upcoming seasons will serve as finales, though the studio is exploring options to license the shows to third-party platforms.

"Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," a spinoff of the 2023 film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem," will conclude after its second season. The series, which premiered on Paramount+ in August 2024, follows the teenage adventures of the four turtle brothers—Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo—as they navigate life in New York City alongside their ally April O'Neil. Voiced by Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo, Brady Noon as Raphael, Micah Abbey as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, and Ayo Edebiri as April, the show has earned universal praise from critics, holding a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Created by Christopher L. Yost and Alan Wan, it features guest voices including Pete Davidson as a mutant enthusiast named RoRod and Alanna Ubach as the inventor Bishop.
