In anticipation of the upcoming theatrical release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Nickelodeon has acquired the worldwide rights to the original ’80s animated series. Variety was first to report the news out of Comic-Con.
Produced by Fred Wolf Films, the show was based on the comic book characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. The show takes place in New York City and follows the adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their allies as they combat various villains, including the notorious Shredder and Krang.
