Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans will have to wait a bit longer for party time to begin.
Paramount Pictures announced several changes to its release calendar on Friday, May 16, with the animated sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2 now set for wide theatrical release Friday, September 17, 2027, after having previously been slated for Friday, October 9, 2026. The shift stem from delays in animation physical production.
A follow up to Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies' 2023's megahit, which collected $180 million worldwide, the sequel was first announced in July 2023, prior to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem being released in theaters. The sequel is being produced by Point Grey Pictures and directed by Jeff Rowe, who also served as the director and co-writer of Mutant Mayhem. Seth Rogen is returning to produce this new installment with Evan Goldberg, James Weaver and Ramsay McBean. Rowe has co-directors Kyler Spears and Yashar Kassai also on the team.
The star-studded voice cast for the first Mutant Mayhem included Micah Abbey (Cousins for Life) as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. (The Chi) as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu (The Walking Dead: World Beyond) as Leonardo, Brady Noon (Family Switch) as Raphael and Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) as April O’Neil, along with Ayo Edebiri, Maya Rudolph, John Cena, Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube and Paul Rudd.
It's currently unknown whether the film's new release date will affect the upcoming release of the second season of Tales of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a 2D animated series set in the world of Mutant Mayhem that bridges the two movies. Season one premiered in August last year, with season two currently slated to be released later this year.
In addition to Mutant Mayhem 2, Paramount is also working an an R-rated movie adaptation based on the critically-acclaimed TMNT comic, The Last Ronin.
