HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Oct. 25, 2022—Following the success of Monster High The Movie, Nickelodeon and Mattel Television announced today they have greenlit a sequel to the live-action movie musical. Based on the iconic Mattel franchise about the children of famous monsters and creatures, the feature-length TV movie will begin production in January in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and will air on Nickelodeon and stream on Paramount+ in 2023.

The first live-action movie for the franchise, Monster High The Movie premiered on Nickelodeon and Paramount+ on Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022. It was the #1 kids and family movie on Paramount+ during its launch week and reached more than 4M total viewers across its premiere weekend on linear (Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, Nicktoons and TeenNick). In Live +3, the linear simulcast posted impressive triple-digit increases, up more than +100% with Kids 6-11 and scored double-digit increases with total viewers (+45%).


“We are ecstatic to tell the monstrous next chapter of this beloved franchise to our audience,” said Zack Olin and Shauna Phelan, Co-Heads of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action. “Monster High’s message of embracing one’s unique self is as important as ever and we look forward to expanding the stories of these fan-favorite characters.”

Monster High The Movie follows Clawdeen Wolf (Miia Harris, Just Beyond) as she arrives at Monster High with a dark secret. With the help of her friends Draculaura (Nayah Damasen, Grey’s Anatomy) and Frankie Stein (Ceci Balagot, Dispatches from Elsewhere), she is able to embrace her true monster heart and save the school from total destruction. The film also stars Case Walker, Kyle Selig, Steve Valentine, Marci T. House, Scotch Ellis Loring, Jy Prishkulnik, Lina Lecompte, Justin Derickson, Lilah Fitzgerald and Nasiv Sall. The story was written by Jenny Jaffe & Greg Erb & Jason Oremland, and the teleplay by Jaffe and Billy & Matt.

Todd Holland (Monster High, Firehouse Dog, Malcolm in the Middle) will return as director and executive producer. Fred Soulie, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Mattel Television; Phil Breman, Vice President of Live Action Development at Mattel; and Adam Bonnett (Descendants, Zombies, Masters of the Universe) will also return as executive producers. The sequel screenplay is being written by Matt & Billy Eddy (Teen Beach, Invisible Sister, Zapped), with story by Todd Holland & Matt Eddy & Billy Eddy.

The Monster High animated series is also slated to premiere on Friday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. Mattel first introduced Monster High in 2010, and it quickly became one of the most successful and beloved kids’ properties of all time. The franchise seeks to foster a more accepting world where everyone is proud to be their authentic self, which is more relevant than ever. Today, Monster High is back with a reimagined set of fangtastic characters reflected in a new set of dolls, accessories, apparel, costumes and more, inspired by the original ghouls for a new generation that embraces what makes them unique and rallies people everywhere to express themselves.

Demand for Nickelodeon’s ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender' Franchise Is Still High – a Good Sign for Upcoming Projects

Nickelodeon's beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender and Avatar: The Legend of Korra are among the top 2.7% of all TV shows in worldwide audience demand year-to-date (through October 16, 2022), according to Parrot Analytics’ data, which takes into account consumer research, streaming, downloads and social media, among other engagement. And that bodes well for new projects in the pipeline from the franchise, TheWrap reports.


What’s particularly impressive is that both shows maintain outstanding levels of demand despite the fact that they haven’t aired new episodes since 2008 and 2014, respectively. Avatar: The Last Airbender even managed to figure as the most in-demand Nickelodeon show of that period besides the immensely popular hit SpongeBob SquarePants.

Normally, revisiting linear series that premiered long before audiences had ever heard of streaming originals wouldn’t be a top priority. But there are big plans in store for the future of this franchise that will yield ripple effects across two of Hollywood’s major players.

Worldwide audience demand for “Avatar” animated series, year-to-date, Jan. 1-Oct. 16, 2022 (Parrot Analytics)

Netflix is expected to debut its long-awaited live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender in 2023. Meanwhile, original series creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are developing new animated projects set within the Avatar universe at Nickelodeon parent company Paramount Global under the new production banner Avatar Studios. The latter will include original movies, series and shorts that will debut across theatrical, linear and streaming.

Based on how well The Last Airbender and Korra continue to perform, there’s reason to believe these franchise extensions will be successful.

Both original series have enjoyed second lives on streaming over the last decade with boosts from access via Netflix and Paramount+ (née CBS All Access). In fact, both shows have maintained outstanding worldwide audience demand levels (top 2.7%) dating all the way back to 2016 as a result. In that same span, the majority of Netflix and Paramount+ originals have garnered just average demand (top 64.1%).

Demand distribution for Netflix and Paramount+ originals, Jan. 1, 2016-Oct. 16, 202 (Parrot Analytics)

DiMartino and Konietzko are currently developing an animated theatrical film for Paramount as their first new project. Since the start of 2020, five of the 30 most in-demand films in the U.S. have been animation titles while at least one animated title has ranked among the top 10 highest grossing worldwide films every year since 2015. Past audience behavior suggests the movie will enter a friendly enough marketplace. The demand share for animations in the U.S. grew from 8.9% in September 2021 to 10.7% in September 2022.

Netflix users may be wary of getting their hopes up for another live-action adaptation of a popular animated title after Cowboy Bebop was canceled after one season. DiMartino and Konietzko were originally attached to the live-action Avatar project, but left due to creative differences.

At the end of the day, artistic quality is one of the most important factors of all and can’t be algorithmically reverse engineered. But it’s the way in which these Avatar series have stayed popular that bodes particularly well for the commercial success of future installments.

A show’s reach indicates the breadth of a title’s popularity as it represents the total number of unique users expressing demand for a title. The Last Airbender boasts exceptional reach at 46.56 times the average title, putting it in the top 0.41% percent of all shows. Global Travelability indicates the popularity of a show outside of its home market, a category in which The Last Airbender is in the top 1.36% of all shows worldwide. Korra ranks similarly well, with a reach score of 23.9 times (top 1.33% of all shows) and global travelability of 6.72 times (top 2.77% of all shows).

Worldwide time series demand for “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” “Teen Titans,” “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” “Avatar: The Legend of Korra” and “Samurai Jack,” Oct. 16, 2021-Oct. 16, 2022 (Parrot Analytics)

What’s also interesting is that despite initially premiering in 2005 and 2012, respectively, the shows are now resonating most with Gen Z (ages 13-22). This implies that new generations have discovered the Avatar franchise since its conclusion. To continue stoking fan interest, the company has released 11 console games, 50 online games, six tabletop games and one mobile game since 2006. This is often an effective tool in building franchise affinity among fandoms while creating a funnel of engagement.

Overall, U.S. demand for both series has remained above average over the last 12 months. They compare favorably in that time to other enduring animated titles from the same era such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Teen Titans and Samurai Jack — all of which have been revisited or revived in some form in recent years.

All of this means that both original titles are deeply penetrating the market and appealing to a diverse array of regional audiences while continuing to find new fans. That, combined with their impressive longevity, suggest a passionately and consistently engaged audience. That is a strong foundation from which to launch new material and, with a built-in fan base, should help these upcoming additions attract audiences early on in their runs.

Nickelodeon Unveils 'The Really Loud House' Cast Photo

Nickelodeon will premiere the really new series The Really Loud House on Thursday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT), and to celebrate, the network has unveiled the show's official cast photo!


Based on the Emmy Award-winning animated show The Loud House, The Really Loud House is brand-new original live-action comedy series. Premiering on Thursday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon, the half-hour series (20 episodes) follows 12-year-old Lincoln Loud (Wolfgang Schaeffer) as he goes on new adventures in the town of Royal Woods with his best friend Clyde McBride (Jahzir Bruno), while also navigating the chaos of living in a family with ten sisters.

In the premiere episode, “The Macho Man with the Plan,” Lincoln is excited to stay up late with his best friend Clyde to watch the RIP Hardcore Midnight Marathon, but his plans are ruined when his dad institutes an early curfew. They come up with the idea to use the Loud sisters to get Dad out of the house to celebrate his half-birthday, but just as they think their plan worked, Lisa’s robot Todd malfunctions and Lincoln must decide what being a good man is really about.

The cast playing the real-life versions of the beloved Loud family are: Brian Stepanek, as Lynn Loud Sr.; Jolie Jenkins, as Rita Loud; Eva Carlton, as Leni Loud; Sophia Woodward, as Luna Loud; Catherine Ashmore Bradley, as Luan Loud; Annaka Fourneret, as Lynn Loud; Aubin Bradley, as Lucy Loud; Ella Allan, as Lola Loud; Mia Allan, as Lana Loud; Lexi Janicek, as Lisa Loud; Lexi DiBenedetto, as Lori Loud; and August Michael Peterson, as Lily Loud.

When A Loud House Christmas, the live-action movie, premiered on Friday, Nov. 26, 2021, it became the top kids’ entertainment telecast with kids 6-11 across all TV for the year, drawing 3.1 million total viewers over the holiday weekend. A Loud House Christmas is currently streaming here on Paramount+.

The Really Loud House is executive produced by Tim Hobert (The Middle, Scrubs, Community), Jonathan Judge (A Loud House Christmas, Warped!, Life In Pieces) and Michael Rubiner (The Loud House). Hobert also serves as showrunner and the pilot is directed by Judge. Production of the series for Nickelodeon Studios is overseen by Shauna Phelan and Zack Olin, Co-Heads of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action. Brittany Cope serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

The Loud House animated series debuted on Nickelodeon in May 2016 and centers on 12-year-old Lincoln Loud and his 10 sisters as he gives an inside look at what it takes to survive the chaos of a huge family. Greenlit for a seventh season, it is one of the longest-running animated series on Nickelodeon with 176 episodes. The property has also been translated into: a comic book series, which continues to roll out new stories; chapter books; a digital album; and a podcast, Listen Out Loud. The series is executive produced by Michael Rubiner. Kyle Marshall serves as co-executive producer and Ashley Kliment-Baker and Gabrielle Dolbey are art directors.
