Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand to Premiere 'Nickelodeon's Ultimate Halloween Haunted House Special' on Thursday 18th October 2018

This Halloween, Nick scare experts will take over an entire school and deck it out with mind bending monsters, hair-raising horror and spine chilling special effects. It’s all real, all unscripted, and your favorite Nickelodeon stars will have no idea what they are about to encounter!


JoJo Siwa joins forces with School of Rock’s Breanna Yde and Aidan Miner. Ella Anderson from Henry Danger teams up with Diego Velazquez and Addison Riecke from The Thundermans, plus, Jade Pettyjohn and Ricardo Hurtado from School of Rock join Daniella Perkins from Knight Squad and Blurt!

School of Rock’s very own Tony Cavalero makes a special appearance, while Lizzy Greene from Nicky, Ricky Dicky & Dawn is behind the scenes and calling all the shots!


Once they enter, each team must search the school to find 5 keys to open the final door, and if they don’t make it out in time, they will be stuck in detention forever!

Nickelodeon's Ultimate Halloween Haunted House Special premieres Thursday 18th October 2018 at 5:00pm AEST, only on Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand! BWWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Whenever there’s trouble for the people or animals of Earth, our seven heroines zoom into action and ride their Spectra Scooters across the rainbow to save the day. Viewers will join them on exciting adventures, but also see them at home having the same daily dramas and hilarities as every preschooler watching the show. And at its heart, Rainbow Rangers is about empowering and encouraging girls to take action and make a difference in their own homes and neighborhoods to improve and safeguard the planet.

Original post:

Of course Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo are going to be at New York Comic Con 2018. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have as much New York City in their DNA as they do, well...turtle. Seriously, other than the Ghostbusters and Spider-Man, you'd be hard-pressed to find other superheroes so closely associated with the Big Apple.


And with the new animated series, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles about to make its debut on Nickelodeon later this month, what better place to show off this new take on the heroes in a half shell than New York Comic Con!

Here's the official details on the panel:

"Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Friday, 10/5, 4:15-5:15 p.m. (Location: Javits Center, Main Stage)

Rise up! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back in the next mutation of New York’s half-shell heroes. Join us as we celebrate the latest incarnation of The Turtles.

Joining the cast are co-executive producers, Andy Suriano and Ant Ward, and legendary voice director Rob Paulsen. Panel highlights will include never-before-seen clips from the series, special guests and exclusive giveaways."

Can't wait that long? You're in luck, dudes. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will premiere Monday 17th September 2018 on Nickelodeon USA and Saturday 22nd September 2018 on Nicktoons UK & Ireland and Channel 5, so that should help give you an idea of what the latest incarnation of our favorite terrapins are up to.

And here's the official synopsis for the series, too...

"Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles follows Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo on all-new adventures as they seek to unlock the mystical secrets of New York City. From the tallest skyscraper to the dankest sewer drain, the Turtles will encounter absurd new mutants and battle bizarre creatures all while enjoying their favorite slice of pizza. Tapping into mystic, ninja powers they never knew existed, the four brothers must learn to work together and navigate the perils of the modern age and hidden realms in order to fulfill their destiny to become a team of heroes."

The series also spawned several movies and specials, including three crossovers with Jimmy Neutron and three live-action movies, starring Drake Bell (The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh) and Daniella Monet (Victorious, Paradise Run).

First Look at Power Rangers Beast Morphers | To Premiere February 2019 | First Trailer Unveiled at Power Morphicon 6 [Updated]

Enter a Morphinominal New Era of Power Rangers With the First Trailer for Beast Morphers


Times are changing in the wild world of the Power Rangers. The long-running series is not just coming off 25th anniversary celebrations, but transitioning to new ownership, under the auspices of toy giant Hasbro. For the first season of the show under Hasbro’s watch, however, Power Rangers is reaching back into the recent past—and fan's have got an early look!

Just debuted at the Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel panel at Power Morphicon 2018 in Anaheim, check out the first trailer for Power Rangers Beast Morphers along with the seasons' description below!:



Update (9/5) - Rorrie Travis, who plays Beast Morphers Red in the new season of Power Rangers, has revealed in a interview with WFMV 95.3 FM that Nickelodeon USA will premiere Power Rangers Beast Morphers in February 2019!:



"Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called “Morph-X” with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers team. The Rangers must fight off an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin Grid itself. Featuring never-before-seen leather suits and an all-new beast-themed arsenal (including dynamic new Zords), fans should get ready for a season full of secret ops and morphinominal fun."

Using footage from the 2012 Super Sentai series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters (the 36th season overall)—initially skipped over by Power Rangers in favor of turning Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger into Power Rangers Dino Charge. The latest season of Power Rangers, Ninja Steel, was actually based on the 39th season Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, and many fans thought that the next to be adapted would be season 41, Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. When Saban announced Go-Busters, it was a welcome surprise for many fans.

Beast Morphers is set in a near future where scientists have harnessed the power of the Morphing Grid (the energy field that transforms Power Rangers into their mighty heroic selves) itself to create powerful new technology.

This is all well and good until a corrupted computer virus named Evox gains sentience and threatens to destroy the Earth. Combining the power of the Morphing Grid and animal DNA, only one fighting force can come together and stop Evox once and for all: the three new Beast Morpher Power Rangers and their Beast Bot sidekicks!

Power Rangers Beast Morphers EXCLUSIVE Official Trailer | Coming Soon in 2019!



Let the cyber battle begin – #PowerRangersBeastMorphers coming in 2019!

Although the trailer doesn’t show off too much of just what Beast Morphers will bring to the table, outside of its use of the Go-Busters footage that primarily makes up this early look, given the Sentai show’s intriguing departures from the typical franchise formula, it’ll be interesting to see just how different a show its Power Rangers counterpart ends up being, too.

Saban and now Hasbro went all out form Beast Morphers, creating all new costumes for the anticipated season, though they still resemble the suits from the source material.

Beast Morphers heads to Nickelodeon USA in 2019!

In addition to the trailer, the cast of Power Rangers Beast Morphers has also been announced!


The new cast was introduced at Power Morphicon 6, at the conclusion of Hasbro’s Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel panel. Meet the official cast below, coming to Nickelodeon in 2019!

Red Ranger – Rorrie Travis
Blue Ranger – Jasmeet Baduwalia
Yellow Ranger – Jacqueline Scislowski

The identities of the Gold and Silver Rangers, who will premiere later in the season, were not revealed.


Meet the Beast Bots!


For the first time ever, each of the Power Rangers will have their own sidekick in Power Rangers Beast Morphers, and the names for those characters have been revealed. The Beast Bots are the lovable sidekicks that will aid the Rangers in the quest to defeat Earth’s evildoers.

- The Red Ranger’s Beast Bot will be a Cheetah named Cruise.
- The Blue Ranger’s Beast Bot will be a Gorilla named Smash.
- The Yellow Ranger’s Beast Bot will be a Jackrabbit named Jax.

The new names were revealed publicly by a Calendars.com listing for an upcoming Power Rangers Beast Morphers calendar.

Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, the current season of the long-running franchise, returns with new episodes beginning Saturday 25th August 2018 at 12:00pm (ET/PT), with a special anniversary episode airing at 8:00pm (ET/PT) Tuesday 28th August 2018 - the date that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers first premiered on the Fox Kids Network, only on Nickelodeon USA!
