Season two of TMNT starts off with a bang in the premiere episode, "The Mutation Situation". The Turtles discover that the alien Kraang survived their previous showdown and have now dropped mutagen canisters all over New York City. Throughout the season, the Turtles' mission is to recover the canisters before more mutants can be created. Meanwhile, the Kraang and Shredder have united to put an end to the Turtles once and for all which results in some infamous characters coming after the brothers. With the help of Casey Jones, voiced by Nickelodeon Star Josh Peck ("Drake & Josh"), each new episode will see the Turtles take on a new villain, all while trying to unravel the mystery regarding April O'Neil and her importance to the Kraang.
After each episode, British and Irish Shellheads can go to Nick UK & Ireland's official "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" website, turtles.nick.co.uk, and find out more about the villain revealed that week. Each new character will then be added to an interactive digital poster of New York City which will be available to download once all of the villains have been revealed.
