Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Cast, Trailer & Everything We Know

Summary The new TV series Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bridges the gap between movies, and premieres on Paramount+ this summer.

The show features original voice actors from Mutant Mayhem, and promises new adventures for the heroes as they navigate being both teenagers and superheroes.

Tales of the TMNT serves as a fresh take on the long-standing franchise, maintaining fan-favorite characters with a modern, reimagined style.

After the smashing success of 2023's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the heroes are returning to the small screen in a new series called Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Based on the 1984 comic series of the same name, the TMNT has blossomed into a bona fide media franchise and 2023's Mutant Mayhem was their latest cinematic adventure. However, the new film also helped to reinvent the style of the beloved characters, properly ushering them into the 2020s and kicking off a new era for the franchise.

The turtles are no strangers to TV, and they actually became mainstream thanks to the wildly popular animated series of the late 1980s and '90s. Ever since then, the characters have been mainstays on TV and at the movies, and the newly announced Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is only the latest in a long line of series to feature the characters. Unlike other versions, the new cartoon series is built upon the box office success of Mutant Mayhem, and is even helping to build synergy for the upcoming sequel.

Even before 2023's TMNT: Mutant Mayhem was released, it was announced that a TV series was on the way named Tales of the TMNT and that has even been confirmed for two seasons. With film producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg attached to produce once again, the series is designed to serve as a bridge between the first and second Mutant Mayhem movies.

Since the series is intricately tied to the Mutant Mayhem movies, it only makes sense that the voice actors for the eponymous reptiles would reprise their roles. So far, the only confirmed cast members are the turtles themselves, with Micah Abbey as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo, and Brady Noon as Raphael. No other names have been announced so far, but it can be assumed that a few other cast members from the movie will reprise their roles, and new characters will be introduced as well.

Weekly Adventures With The TMNT

The Shredder reveal at the end of Mutant Mayhem likely won't be addressed in Tales of the TMNT since most of the juiciest storylines will probably be saved for the movies.

Not much is known about the story of the new series, though it has been pitched as a bridge between Mutant Mayhem and its announced sequel Mutant Mayhem 2. Mutant Mayhem ended rather conclusively with the turtles teaming up with their mutant cousins and stopping the dastardly Superfly. The TV series will likely follow the young heroes as they try to learn the ropes of being superheroes while still being youngsters. It may also explore their relationship with Master Splinter after his big change of heart at the end of the first movie.

The Shredder reveal at the end of Mutant Mayhem likely won't be addressed in Tales of the TMNT since most of the juiciest storylines will probably be saved for the movies.
