Nicktoons USA To Premiere New Episodes Of "Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" From 9/22

Nickelodeon USA will be moving premieres of the networks season five anthology series, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Nicktoons USA later this month, beginning with brand-new 90-minute event, "Raphael: Mutant Apocalypse" on Friday 22nd September 2017. Following the 90-minute event, Nicktoons will continue to premiere double episodes of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles every Wednesday from Wednesday 27th September 2017. The episodes that Nicktoons will debut on 9/27 will be:

The Curse of Savanti Romero: The Turtles' plans to enjoy Halloween are put on hold when strange monsters threaten to transform the city. (#506)

The Crypt of Dracula: Renet transports the team to Transylvania to stop Savanti Romero. (#507)

The 90-minute event on 9/22, "Raphael: Mutant Apocalypse", will feature three episodes to form one of the seven story arcs that make up TMNT season five, and is speculated to be the intended "finale" of Nickelodeon's 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, and will air as part of NickSports' NASCAR Tales of the Turtles 400 night. The event will feature the episodes:

-- The Wasteland Warrior: An older, weathered Raphael battles road gangs in a post-apocalyptic mutant wasteland.

-- The Impossible Desert: An older, weathered Raphael battles road gangs in a post-apocalyptic mutant wasteland.

-- Carmaggedon!: An older, weathered Raphael battles road gangs in a post-apocalyptic mutant wasteland.

"The Curse of Savanti Romero" and "The Crypt of Dracula" both form part of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' 'Monsters and Mutants' story arc, in which the Turtles face-off against legendary Universal monsters such as the Mummy, Dracula, the Werewolf, and Dr. Frankenstein.

UPDATE (9/19): Nicktoons will be premiering four new episodes of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in October: "Wanted: Bebop and Rocksteady", "The Foot Walks Again!" and "The Big Blowout", which will air as a three-part TMNT movie, and "The Frankenstein Experiment". This will leave only one more episode of the final series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) to air: "Monsters Among Us".
