Rugrats is an American computer-animated kids' streaming television series created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó, and Paul Germain. It is described as both a revival and reboot of the original 1991 TV series of the same name. The series premiered on May 27, 2021 on Paramount+ as the second Nickelodeon CGI-animated web series created for the streaming service.[1][2][3]

Premise

Just like the original series, Rugrats focuses on the experiences of a courageous, adventurous one-year-old baby named Tommy Pickles and his group of playmates and other infants and toddlers.

The surviving voice actors of the titular "Rugrats" reprise their roles from the original series, though the adult roles from the original series have been recast, including Betty DeVille, who was originally voiced by the returning Kath Soucie.[4]

Production

In early September 2015, it was announced on Variety that Nickelodeon may "seek to experiment with retooled versions of classics" that could include Rugrats.[5] The following day, The Independent announced that "Rugrats could soon be back on our screens too."[6] In July 2016, it was revealed that Nickelodeon was in talks with Klasky Csupo and Paul Germain about a possible revival of the series.[7][8][9]

In late July 2016, Arlene Klasky stated that she would be willing to work on a revival of the series, along with co-creators Gabor Csupó and Paul Germain.[10][11] In October 2016, a Nickelodeon senior vice president stated in response to a fan question that Rugrats was among other shows being considered for revival.[12]

In mid-July 2018, it was announced that Nickelodeon had given a series order to a 26-episode revival of the series, executive produced by Klasky, Csupó, and Germain. In May 2020, it was announced that the revival series was delayed until 2021.[13]

In late February 2021, it was announced that the reboot will premiere on Paramount+ in late spring of 2021.[1][2] A sneak peek was also uploaded to social media platforms. In March, an all-new cast for the parents were revealed.[4]

The reboot premiered on Paramount+ on May 27, 2021.[3]
