Nickelodeon's upcoming The Fairly OddParents reboot could be heading to Netflix!
Last year, it was revealed that Nickelodeon was working on a reboot of its iconic animated series, The Fairly OddParents, with Paramount Global applying to trademark the project under the title The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish. A new project set in the Fairly OddParents universe was later confirmed by Daran Norris, who voiced characters such as Cosmo, Timmy's dad, and Jorgen Von Strangle on the original long-running animated series, during an interview on the Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide. This is all in addition to numerous leaks regarding pitches and character bios.
Since then, not much has been said about the series, however, a recent leaked video (which I'm won’t embed or link to) has suggested that the series will premiere on Netflix as opposed to Nickelodeon and/or Paramount+.
The Fairly OddParents followed the magical adventures of 10-year-old Timmy Turner and his well-meaning fairy godparents, Cosmo & Wanda, who grant him wishes.
Fairly OddParents was created by Butch Hartman (Danny Phantom, T.U.F.F. Puppy, Bunsen Is a Beast), and started out as a series of shorts featured as part of Nickelodeon's animation showcase series Oh Yeah! Cartoons. Following the popularity of the shorts, Nickelodeon greenlit a full Fairly OddParents series, which aired for 161 episodes over 10 seasons between March 30, 2001 – July 26, 2017. During its run, The Fairly OddParents became one of Nickelodeon’s most beloved properties from both fans and critics alike, having won and been nominated for dozens of awards. The series also spawned several movies and specials, including three crossovers with Jimmy Neutron and three live-action movies.
In 2022, Paramount+ premiered the CG-animated/live-action hybrid series, The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, which picked up years after the original ended by following Timmy Turner’s cousin, Vivian “Viv” Turner, and her new stepbrother, Roy Raskin, as they navigate life in Dimmsdale with the help of their fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo.
The new series, however, will ditch Timmy Turner in favor of a new protagonist, Hazel Wells, a 10-year-old girl living in Dimmadelphia. She recently moved to the city as her Dad has gotten a new job and is now without her brother, who has moved away to college.
Susanne Blakeslee and Daran Norris will be reprising their roles as Wanda and Cosmo, who are coming out of retirement to grant Hazel her wishes. Ashleigh Crystal Hairston is reportedly voicing the role of Hazel. Butch Hartman and Fred Seibert serve as executive producers on the project.
