Paramount Fetes Upcoming Plans For Dora, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob and TMNT

Paramount has shared some of their exciting upcoming plans for a raft of iconic properties with the January 2025 issue of Toy World Magazine!

Please note that plans featured in this post are primarily for the U.K. market, and release dates may differ in different regions.

PAW PATROL

Paw Patrol continues to dominate as the No.1 pre-school property and holds its place as a top pre-school show on Nick Jr. and Milkshake!, with consumption increasing quarter on quarter.

In 2025, Paw Patrol will continue to captivate fans with exciting new themes such as Air Rescue, which will have a Skye-focus and see the pups take to the skies. The content premiered on Nick Jr. and Paramount+ in October 2024 to great success. In the first half of 2025, new Air Rescue products will launch across Toy and Apparel. In the latter half of the year, the Fire Rescue theme will launch, which will see Marshall lead the team. The new themes will introduce new vehicles and locations, including a new airport HQ and fire station HQ in Adventure Bay. This, as well as a whole host of specials, leads viewers to a third theatrical set to premiere in July 2026.

Rubble & Crew, a Paw Patrol spin-off series focusing on English bulldog Rubble and his construction crew family, launched in consumer products last year to great success, featuring in DreamToy's top picks for Christmas 2024. The show, currently in its second season, is a Top 5 pre-school show on Nick Jr. Looking ahead, a new season will drop in 2025 with an expanding consumer products line.

In the world of location-based entertainment, the Paw Patrol Live! Great Pirate Adventure will return to the UK in summer 2025, bringing everybody's favourite pups to the stage for an action-packed, high-energy musical adventure.

To round off 2024, the Paw Patrol Pup Talks campaign launched, which saw the pups give humorous and heartfelt pep talks to several high-profile celebrities such as Meghan Trainor, San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy, and Emmy award-winning actor and comedian Kenan Thompson. The campaign culminated with an integration on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on 18th December.

2025 will mark the launch of Paw Patrol's Global campaign, To the Rescue, a multi-year effort between Spin Master Entertainment and Paramount designed to support parents as they nurture the development of their toddlers with a focus on teamwork, problem solving and imagination. The global campaign will see the launch of all-new meaningful retail activations, partnerships and experiences, as well as the development of existing relationships, such as the ongoing partnership with educational resource provider Twinkl, whose Paw Patrol resources have now positively impacted over 2.1m children in the UK alone.

With its commitment to delivering engaging content and fostering meaningful connections, Paw Patrol remains a beloved brand for fans, ensuring its place as a staple in pre- school entertainment. For licensing enquiries, contact Elodie Rivero-Stevenet.

SpongeBob SquarePants

SpongeBob SquarePants celebrated its 25^th anniversary last year with a range of exciting collaborations and partnerships. Now, as the franchise looks ahead, a dynamic slate of new content, gaming releases and consumer products promises to captivate fans of all ages in 2025 and beyond.

As part of 2024's celebrations, Paramount+ brought an exciting SpongeBob SquarePants activation to the F1 Fan Zone at the 2024 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, featuring activities and photo opportunities as well as a SpongeBob-themed F1 show car. In addition, Paramount, in collaboration with Off The Menu, launched a one-of-a-kind Krabby Patty Kollab in October 2024, which saw over 100 renditions of the iconic Krabby Patty come to life in more than 250 local restaurants across New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Las Vegas, Toronto, London, and Mexico City, including Wendy's.

On the content front, SpongeBob SquarePants remains a powerhouse. The series consistently ranks as the No.1 non-pre-school show on UK Kids TV, while The Patrick Star Show regularly lands in the Top 5 non-pre-school shows on Nickelodeon UK. In 2024, Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie premiered on Netflix, debuting as the No.1 kids' title on the platform globally. Looking forward, the franchise will expand further with the launch of its 15^th season, two new greenlit seasons for The Patrick Star Show, and the highly anticipated theatrical release of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants in December 2025. Fans can also look forward to Plankton: The Movie, which will give the franchise's iconic microscopic villain his moment in the spotlight.

Gaming continues to be a significant driver of SpongeBob's success. In 2024, Patrick's Day Out launched from Outright Games, while the existing SpongeBob SquarePants Simulator remains a Top 10 brand game on Roblox. In the latter half of 2025, the gaming slate will expand further with exciting new launches including a console game.

Consumer products remain a vital part of the franchise's reach and appeal. In 2025, fans can expect new core and film product launches across Toy, Apparel, Home and CPG, alongside a global high-end designer collaboration set to debut in the first half of the year. These launches will help keep SpongeBob SquarePants a front-of-mind at retail and in households worldwide. For licensing enquiries, contact Elodie Rivero-Stevenet.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Celebrating its 40^th anniversary in 2024, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise continues to captivate its core audiences of 6-11-year-olds and grown-up superfan audiences with exciting new content and collaborations. August 2024 saw the launch of the animated series Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon. During its premiere week, the series became the No.1 title on Nickelodeon and the No.2 non-preschool title on kids' TV, showcasing the enduring appeal of the Turtles among both longtime fans and a new generation.

Building on this momentum, Season 2 of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will arrive on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon in 2025, while a sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is set to hit theatres in October 2026. Additionally, a theatrical adaptation of The Last Ronin is now in development, further expanding the Turtles' cinematic universe. The 2023 release of Mutant Mayhem proved to be a major success, earning over £10m at the UK box office.

Gaming also remains a key focus, with Paramount delivering a diverse line-up for fans. To add to the Outright Games release of Mutants Unleashed in 2024, a new PC game will launch in in the first half of 2025, followed by another console game in the second, along with updates to existing digital experiences, ensuring the Turtles stay at the forefront of interactive entertainment. The existing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Tycoon is a Top 10 brand game on Roblox.

On the consumer products front, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continues to dominate, holding the No.2 spot for licensed action figures in the UK. The 2024 Sidemen x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, featuring Turtles-branded apparel created with the YouTube group including KSI, was a standout moment for the franchise. Looking ahead, 2025 will see exciting new partnerships, including a global apparel and footwear collaboration launching in the first half of the year, as well as ongoing product launches tied to Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Turning to retail, back-to-school is poised to be a key moment.

Digital content is another area of growth, with over 280 new YouTube videos scheduled for release this year. This 'always on' approach to YouTube ensures the Turtles remain accessible and engaging to global audiences. For licensing enquiries, contact Elodie Rivero-Stevenet.

DORA

The CG-animated reimagining of Dora the Explorer, Dora, has become a major success since its debut last year, captivating a new generation of fans aged 3-5 who gravitate towards the show's themes of adventure, friendship and language-learning.

Now in its second season, the show airs on Paramount+, Nick Jr. and Milkshake!. Following the launch of Season 2, Dora secured a spot in the Top 5 pre-school shows almost immediately. To celebrate International Day of the Girl on 11th October 2024, Paramount partnered with Plan International to launch a global campaign, featuring Dora, to champion girls' access to education and gender equality. The multiplatform initiative included the establishment of a new Dora fund, providing grants for youth-led organisations dedicated to girls' education, the provision of Paramount funding for the distribution of backpacks filled with school supplies (coupled with the opportunity for audiences to contribute), and a global 60-second public service announcement that aired across the Paramount networks celebrating the potential of every girl. To add to this, Plan International launched its own resource hub.

2025 is set to be an exciting year for the franchise, with Dora turning 25 years old. The new, highly anticipated consumer products range will launch in July 2025, offering fans apparel, footwear, toys, arts & crafts, puzzles, games and books. In the UK, confirmed partners include Spin Master, HarperCollins, Tonies and Aykroyds TDP. In addition, new collaborations and partnerships are in the pipeline, further cementing Dora's cultural impact and broad appeal. Meanwhile, a live-action Dora film, Dora & the Search for Sol Dorado, is scheduled to premiere on Paramount+ in 2025.

The back half of the year will also see the introduction of a brand-new marketing campaign across retail that will add to the 25^th anniversary celebrations.

New 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Console Game Set to Be Released During Second Half of 2025

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gaming universe is about to get even bigger!

A brand new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles console game is slated to be released during the second half of 2025! Paramount revealed the news in the January 2025 issue of Toy World Magazine (page 106).

Not much is currently known about the new currently-untitled TMNT game, including its developer and publisher, and which TMNT universe it'll be set in. The game will follow the recently released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed, set in the Mutant Mayhem universe, from Outright Games.

Elsewhere on the TMNT gaming front, Paramount also teased the release of an all-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles PC game during the first half of the year. Whilst its title isn't mentioned, Paramount is likely referring to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown from Strange Scaffold. The TMNT game is a kinetic turn-based beat-em-up that mashes together the cerebral play of tactics games with the high-flying action that fans love about TMNT.

Paramount will also rollout updates to existing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles digital experiences, ensuring the Turtles stay at the forefront of interactive entertainment. The existing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Tycoon is a Top 10 brand game on Roblox.

New 'SpongeBob SquarePants' Console Game Set to Be Released During 'Latter' Part of 2025

Are ya’ ready, kids? Paramount has teased plans to release a new SpongeBob SquarePants video game later this year.

Hot on the fins of the release of Outright Games' SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game, Paramount has revealed in the January 2025 issue of Toy World Magazine (page 104) that they'll be expanding its SpongeBob SquarePants gaming slate with the release of a brand new SpongeBob SquarePants console game during the "latter half of 2025"!

Not much is currently known about the game, including its publisher, however, the news follows THQ Nordic, who previously released SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated and its spiritual successor, The Cosmic Shake, recently hinting that it could be working on a third SpongeBob SquarePants game.

In a video released for Halloween on October 31st, THQ Nordic showcased some of the best spooky gameplay from both Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated and The Cosmic Shake. It’s mostly a montage SpongeBob and Patrick getting their barnacles scared off, but as things wrap up, viewers are left with with the duo jumping about under text that reads “an all-new adventure awaits,” along with a 2025 release date, whilst The Flying Dutchman laughs menacingly in the off-screen.

Whilst the promo featured scenes from Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated and The Cosmic Shake, it’s entirely possible that THQ Nordic was simply leaving a trail of Krabby Patty crumbs for fans to follow. Here’s why:

Number one, The Flying Dutchman has a clear focus in the trailer. Longtime fans of the SpongeBob games will remember why that’s significant. SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman is perhaps the second-most beloved game in the franchise, and with the Rehydrated series going strong, it’s an obvious choice for a fancified remake or follow-up.

Number two, add in the spooky theme (and Halloween release date) of the teaser, and it’s hard to think of anything else that fits the billing. If it’s not a direct remake or spiritual successor then what else could all of this be for? Well, there is one more answer.

Mark Hamill was recently cast as the voice of The Flying Dutchman in The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, taking over the role from Brian Doyle-Murray, who voices the ghostly figure in the series. Details are still few and far between about that film, but the official IMDb description reads “Follow SpongeBob as he travels to the depths of the ocean to face the ghost of the Flying Dutchman.” Search for SquarePants is currently slated for release on December 19, 2025, around the time the game is slated to be released.

Revenge of the Flying Dutchman sees SpongeBob on a quest to save his pet sea snail, Gary, from the clutches of the pirate captain after accidentally disturbing his slumber. It’s an action-platformer just like Battle for Bikini Bottom. You travel across seven unique locations, collecting The Dutchman’s treasure, and prepping the sponge for a big showdown against his spectral nemesis. Most of the series regulars – Plankton, Mr. Krabs, Squidward, Sandy, etc. – make appearances along the way, giving SpongeBob tasks to complete which push him closer to his ultimate goal. From fixing TV antennas to winning karate matches against Larry the Lobster, it’s packed to the gills with SpongeBob-themed mayhem.

First released in 2002, a reimagined version of the game could certainly bring the action up to speed, just like THQ Nordic did with Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated.
