Pinky Malinky is set to leave Netflix in the New Year, it has been revealed.
Pinky Malinky is a fly-on-the-wall reality show that follows the everyday life of Pinky, an infectiously positive hot dog living in a human world. With his best friends Babs and JJ by his side, Pinky reaches for the stars in the small town of Sackenhack. Through his good spirits and sausage sensibilities, Pinky proves that a "wiener" is only one small letter away from being a "WINNER!"
Produced by Nickelodeon, the series was originally greenlit for its linear channels, however, Nickelodeon sold the rights to Netflix in 2018 as part of Paramount's (then called Viacom) initiate to identify intellectual property within it vaults that could be an ideal fit for a digital or linear programmer outside of the company. The series then premiered as a Netflix Original (although still carrying the Nickelodeon branding), with Part One being released on Tuesday, January 1, 2019, followed by Part Two on April 22, 2019, and Part Three on July 17, 2019. As part of the Netflix partnership, the streamer has bowed several Nickelodeon series and movies, including Glitch Techs, Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, and Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus.
However, our friends over at WoNetflix are reporting that all three Parts of Pinky Malinky are set to leave Netflix on Friday, July 17, 2026.
It's important to note that, this is only the show's current leaving date, and Netflix still as plenty of time to renew the rights to the series any time between now and then.
Using the tropes of a mockumentary and reality show format, Pinky and his friends will talk directly to the camera and the audience to share their absurd and silly take on real life. At times, all children feel like they don't fit in and Pinky's undeniably unique point of view as a literal wiener amongst humans will allow kids to laugh at his familiar struggles and enjoy his unusual perspective on the challenges of being a school-aged kid. By always reaching for the stars, Pinky pushes himself further than anyone could imagine. Pinky and his friends' humorous experiences will also be shared across social media and Nickelodeon's digital platforms.
Co-created and co-executive produced by Chris Garbutt and Rikke Asbjoern (The Amazing World of Gumball) and executive produced by Scott Kreamer (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness), the trio were part of the Artist Collective, an internal diverse group of experienced creators who mentored and supported up-and-coming talent while also collaborating to cultivate, challenge and inspire Nickelodeon's development pipeline.
Under the deal with Netflix, Nickelodeon produced two seasons — 59 episodes — of Pinky Malinky for the streaming service.
It's currently unclear what will happen to Pinky Malinky if it does leave Netflix. The show currently isn't available to watch anywhere else, nor is it available on physical media. Once the rights revert back to Nickelodeon, the show could be released on Paramount+. There is also a good chance that it'll air on Nickelodeon's international channels, where Sharkdog, which, produced Paramount for Netflix, also airs. Oddly, Pinky Malinky did have a small premiere on Nickelodeon, when it randomly started airing on Nickelodeon in Spain in December 2023.
Update (4/7): Nicktoons Global is set to premiere Pinky Malinky on Monday 20th April 2026, our friends over at Insidus are reporting! The series will air weekdays at 14:30 CET, with same day replays at 19:00 CET.
Unfortunately, Pinky Malinky isn't the only Nickelodeon show set to leave Netflix in the New Year, with Star Trek: Prodigy season two set to leave on Thursday, January 1, 2026. Thankfully, however, this series is available on physical media.
כשאחת המזימות של המדינגר משתבשת, חתול שגר בחצר הגרוטאות מאבד את ביתו, ורוקי מזמין את החתול להתארח במגדל התצפית. החתול גורם ליותר צרות משרוקי ציפה, ורוקי לומד שאפילו גיבורים צריכים לבקש עזרה לפעמים.
