Nickelodeon Hints That 'Hey Arnold!' Season 6 May Be In The Works [Update: Craig Bartlett Gives Status Update]
Nickelodeon has hinted in a post on Facebook, that, following the success Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie, the networks revival of its beloved '90s animated series Hey Arnold! that resolved many unanswered questions and plotlines from the original series, that Nickelodeon may be planning to make a sixth season of Hey Arnold!!
In Nickelodeon's Facebook post, in a response to post by a fan asking for Hey Arnold! season six, Nick said "Have you seen the NEW Hey Arnold movie?! It's not a new season, but close enough for now," and accompanied their post with a wink emoji. Although it doesn't confirm that Nickelodeon are planning a sixth season of Hey Arnold!, Nick wrote a similar post about "The Jungle Movie" in 2015 before the film was officially announced. The "for now" part in Nick's latest post is also very interesting.
Update (4/2): Craig Bartlett, the creator of Hey Arnold!, today gave an update about the possibilities of Hey Arnold! receiving a sixth season six during a Reddit AMA:
"Okay, everyone, when you see a question for "will there be a season 6" refer the asker to this. I want to do a season 6. My crew wants to do a season 6, and the cast wants to do a season 6. Nickelodeon knows this, we have been talking about it for a long time. I've put together a proposal about what would happen in a season 6. Now it is up to Nickelodeon if it will happen or not. I don't control it; Nickelodeon does. If they decide to do a season 6, they will tell me, and as soon as I know I will tell the fans on my social media. Meanwhile, until I know something, I won't say anything about it, because I simply don't know. I don't want to jinx it by speculating, and besides, nothing is real until "the ink dries and that ship has sailed," as Big Bob likes to say."
Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie ended with Arnold and his gang starting sixth grade, and, in the lead up to the premiere of "The Jungle Movie", Craig Bartlett, the creator of the iconic Nicktoon, said that he hoped the movie would eventually lead to a sixth season.
Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie premiered to critical acclaim in November 2017. The movie saw Arnold finally getting answers to the whereabouts of his missing parents, and featuring a storyline which picked up where the original TV series ended. Co-written and executive produced by the TV series’ original creator Craig Bartlett, the US-English dub of Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie features original voice cast members Francesca Marie Smith (The Prince of Egypt) as Helga and Anndi McAfee (Tom and Jerry: The Movie) as Phoebe, alongside dynamic new voice talent Mason Vale Cotton (Mad Men) as Arnold and Benjamin “Lil’ P-Nut” Flores, Jr. (Game Shakers) as Gerald. Lane Toran (original voice of Arnold) and Jamil Walker Smith (original voice of Gerald) are also amongst the returning cast members, lending their voices as Che and Paulo, two members of the boat crew in San Lorenzo. Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) stars as resident villain, Lasombra.

Nickelodeon Working On 'Welcome To The Wayne' Season Two
Voice actor Veronica Taylor today revealed the very exciting news to ToonZone Forums member @Eldorado during an appearance at the 2018 Indiana Comic Con that Nickelodeon has renewed Welcome to the Wayne for a second season, and that Nickelodeon are currently planning to premiere the remaining episodes of Welcome to the Wayne season one in a "bomb" format very soon!
(From L-R) Olly, Ansi, and Saraline from Nickelodeon’s Welcome To The Wayne
Set in a New York City apartment building full of mysteries, Welcome to the Wayne follows the comedic adventures of three friends, Ansi Molina, Olly Timbers, and Saraline Timbers, as they aim to unlock the secrets of the Wayne. Each new investigation brings them face-to-face with new characters, creatures, and oddities, known as “Wayne Phenomena,” leading them closer to uncovering the truth about the weird things happening in their building.
Created and written by Emmy® Award-winning writer and composer Billy Lopez (The Wonder Pets) and executive produced by Emmy Award-winning creative executive Michael Pecoriello (Yu-Gi-Oh!), the 20-episode series made its world debut on Nickelodeon USA on Monday 24th July 2017 and follows three kids as they explore their strange and fantastical apartment building, the Wayne, where nothing is what it seems. Fans can also play-along by searching for clues to crack the secret code.
Veronica confirming that Nickelodeon has picked up Welcome to the Wayne for season two will come as a relief for fans. Nickelodeon USA is currently only half-way through Welcome to the Wayne season one, with the last new episode airing in September 2017. Welcome to the Wayne has since debuted internationally, and most Nickelodeon channels around the world have completed the season. The long gap between episodes has caused concern among fans, who feared the show has been canceled.
In September 2017, the Nickelodeon Animation Podcast released an interview with Billy Lopez a couple of days early by mistake, with a bit mentioning that Welcome to the Wayne season two had been greenlit, however, when the episode was re-released officially a couple of days later, that bit was edited out.
The voice cast Welcome to the Wayne includes: Alanna Ubach (Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce) as Ansi, the anxious new kid in town; creator and co-executive producer Billy Lopez as Olly Timbers, the adventurous 10-year-old son of a toy maker and a military scientist, and lifelong resident of the Wayne; and Dana Steingold (Avenue Q musical) as Saraline Timbers, Olly’s responsible and more mature little sister.
Additional voice cast members include: Veronica Taylor (Pokémon) as The Spy from Apartment 8-I; Marc Thompson (Pokémon) as Masterson; and Robbie Sublett (The Good Wife) as Flowershirt; Dave Willis (Aqua Teen Hunger Force) as George the Doorman; Dana Snyder (The Thundermans) as Wendell Wasserman; Nikki M. James (BrainDead) as Julia Wiles; Carey Means (Aqua Teen Hunger Force) as Jonah Bishop; Harriett D. Foy (Collateral Beauty) as Clara Rhone; and Charnele Crick (Bocce Ballers) as Goodness.
Guest stars in season one include: Annie Potts (Ghostbusters) as Olympia Timbers; Andrew Rannells (Girls) as Andrei, Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) as Albert Molina; Richard Kind (Inside Out) as Harvey Timbers; Emo Philips (Adventure Time) as Dennis O’Bannon; David Hornsby (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) as Leif Bornewell III; Daniel Abeles (Smash) as Randy; and Shannon Walsh (Begin Again) as Madison Payne; and Clarke Thorell (The Americans) as Garrison Payne.
Before the full-length series, Welcome to the Wayne was Nickelodeon’s first digital short-form series, which debuted on official Nickelodeon websites and the Nick Play app in select markets.
Billy Lopez is an Emmy-winning writer and composer from New York City. He has written for shows including Phineas and Ferb and South Park and been head writer on several preschool shows, including The Wonder Pets!, 3rd & Bird! and PBS’s Peg + Cat. Lopez also co-created an adult sitcom for ABC Studios. Michael Pecoriello is an Emmy Award-winning creative leader. He has overseen campaigns for Nickelodeon tent poles Kids’ Choice Awards, Kids’ Choice Sports and the HALO Awards and also served as supervising producer and head writer on animated series Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Fans can immerse themselves in the Wayne by following the official Instagram account to discover more about the show, characters, and mysteries within.

The International Children’s Peace Prize is awarded annually to a child who fights courageously for children’s rights. Every year, the message of the new young winner has enormous impact and demonstrates to millions of people globally that change is possible. In 2018 the prize will be awarded for the 14th consecutive year. Previous winners include Nkosi Johnson, who fought for the rights of children with aids, and Malala Yousafzai, who won the International Children’s Peace Prize in 2013 before winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.
Please visit their website to find out more about KidsRights: www.kidsrights.org.
Nickelodeon’s initiative with NGO KidsRights comes during one of the most important months on Viacom’s social responsibility calendar: the company’s annual Viacommunity Day, when thousands of employees across the globe unite to give back to their local communities.
The #KidsCan campaign follows Together We Rock, A Together For Good program launched last spring that saw Nick partner with child rights organization Plan International on a gender equity initiative tied to the kidsnet’s hit sitcom School of Rock.
