Cowabunga! The original 1987 animated series “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” is coming to Nickelodeon.

Ahead of the theatrical release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Nickelodeon has acquired global rights to the storied Fred Wolf series, which follows the adventures of the heroes in a half-shell — Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo.



Under the deal, all 193 episodes — which ran from 1987 to 1996 — are set to debut digitally on Nickelodeon-owned and operated channels (such as YouTube, Pluto TV and O&O linear channels) later this month in the U.S., followed by Nickelodeon-branded channels and digital platforms internationally.

The acquisition was announced Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con during Paramount Pictures’ Hall H presentation for Mutant Mayhem.
