BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Nickelodeon has announced that Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the reimagined 2D-animated series, has been greenlit for a 26-episode second season. The action-comedy follows the band of brothers, Raph, Leo, Donnie and Mikey, as they discover new powers and encounter a mystical world they never knew existed beneath the streets of New York City. Season 2 will begin production this fall at Nickelodeon’s headquarters in Burbank, California.

Season 1 of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will debut on Monday, Sept. 17, with the global rollout set to premiere this fall across Nickelodeon’s channels and branded blocks in 170+ countries and territories.
