Netflix Acquires 'Thomas & Friends' in the US

The streamer has the rights to seasons 23 and 24 of Mattel Television's Thomas and Friends in the US, first dropping in March. The licensing rights, meanwhile, divert back to Mattel from Nickelodeon.

Netflix has picked up the streaming rights for Mattel Television’s Thomas and Friends in the US, Kidscreen has revealed. Season 23 will be available on the streamer in March 2020, followed by season 24 later this year.


The Mattel series moved over from PBS to Nick Jr. only two years ago. At the time Mattel and Nickelodeon signed a deal that all new seasons of the series would air on the preschool network and Nick would take over as the brand’s exclusive US licensing agent. Nickelodeon in the US will no longer air Thomas and Friends following this deal with Netflix. And the consumer products rights are now back with Mattel as the toy company continues to focus on building franchises.

Internationally, Netflix will have library episodes in Asia (Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam), Canada, Europe (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland), Latin America and the United Kingdom. Specific content availability dates will vary by market.

However, Mattel will continue to work with local broadcasters across the globe on a non-exclusive basis to air current seasons. Thomas & Friends currently airs on Milkshake! and Cartoonito in the U.K.

The 23rd season of Thomas consists of 20 x 11-minute eps and three 22-minute specials.

When the series first hit airwaves it was on PBS in 1989 as sequences on Shining Time Station. But it began as a standalone Thomas & Friends half-hour series in 2004 on PBS in the US and only left the pubcaster for Nickelodeon in 2018, ending nearly 30 years of programming on the American pubcaster.

From TBI Vision:

Netflix steams off with Thomas and Friends in US

Netflix has acquired the streaming rights for Mattel’s Thomas and Friends in the US.

Season 23 will be available on the streamer in March, followed by season 24 later this year.

The news was revealed during Mattel’s earnings call on Thursday. “Today, we are pleased to announce that Thomas and Friends, the iconic children’s series, will be available on Netflix in the United States starting this March,” Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz said.

The series launched in 1984 and aired on PBS until 2017 when Nickelodeon became Thomas and Friends’ network, carrying seasons 21, 22 and 23.

Netflix will offer select library episodes of Thomas and Friends internationally in Asia (Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam), Canada, Europe (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland), Latin America and the United Kingdom. Specific content availability dates will vary by market.

Mattel will also continue to work with broadcasters across the globe to air the current season of Thomas and Friends.

Netflix has been bolstering its kids animation slate in recent months, in part to fend off competition from Disney+. This week Netflix boarded Mighty Express, a new CG-animated series for pre-school children from the creator and producers of PAW Patrol.

From Deadline:

Netflix Nabs U.S. Rights To ‘Thomas & Friends’ Children’s Animated Series

Thomas & Friends is headed to streaming. Netflix will become the new U.S. TV home of the classic children’s animated series. The news was revealed during Mattel’s earnings calls Thursday.

“Today, we are pleased to announce that Thomas & Friends, the iconic children’s series, will be available on Netflix in the United States starting this March,” the company’s CEO Ynon Kreiz said.

The series about the talking tank engine launched in 1984 and aired on pubcaster PBS until 2017 when Nickelodeon signed a wide-ranging deal to become Thomas & Friends‘ network home and take over as the brand’s exclusive US licensing agent in various merchandising categories. (Those rights are now reverting to Mattel.)

Nick Jr. carried Seasons 21. 22 and 23 of Thomas & Friends, along with specials. Beginning in March, Season 23, which had aired on Nick Jr. last year, will be available on Netflix, with the new Season 24 launching on the service later this year.

Additionally, Netflix will offer select library episodes of Thomas and Friends internationally in Asia (Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam), Canada, Europe (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland), Latin America and the United Kingdom. Specific content availability dates will vary by market. Mattel will also continue to work with broadcasters across the globe to air the current season of Thomas and Friends.

Netflix has been ramping up its kids animation slate as it faces stiff competition from the new dominant player in the space, Disney+ and its extensive Disney/Pixar animation library. At Netflix, Mattel also has Masters of the Universe: Revelation series.

The Thomas & Friends’ library, which includes the first 22 seasons of the show, is currently not available for streaming in the U.S.

Season 23 of Thomas & Friends follows the famed blue engine as he travels to Italy and Brazil, making new friends, exploring new cultures and unearthing new discoveries. The season consists of 20 11-minute episodes. It also includes three 22-minute specials, Digs & Discoveries: All Tracks Lead to Rome, Digs & Discoveries: Mines of Mystery and Steam Team to the Rescue.

Thomas the Tank Engine was introduced 75 years ago by Reverend W. Awdry as stories for his son. The stories became an award-winning global franchise which includes toys, consumer products, apps, books, location-based entertainment, and video and audio content. The animated television program Thomas & Friends consists of more than 500 episodes and specials and has been licensed to air in 180 territories and in 54 different languages.

Nickelodeon Alums Cree Cicchino and Jaheem Toombs DIDN'T Get Engaged on Valentine's Day

A huge congratulations to Nickelodeon alums Cree Cicchino and Jaheem Toombs, who announced their engagement today, Valentine's Day, on Instagram! For the special occasion, Toombs bent down on one knee to propose in front of the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland California!


"...now I’m in a whole new world with you ✨#isaidyes💍" Cicchino captioned a series of photos on her Instagram, echoing another line from the Aladdin song, “A Whole New World”. Among the many fans congratulating the Game Shakers star were co-Nickelodeon stars such as Henry Danger's Riele Downs, who replied "omg!! 🤭 so happy for u 💋", and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn's Lizzy Greene, who asked "can i be the flower girl😭❤️" at their wedding, which Cicchino replied "absolutely🖤".

"But when I’m way up here, it’s crystal clear.....💍 @creecicchino #shesaidyes 😉" Toombs' captioned a set of photos on his Instagram. Among the many fans congratulating the 100 Things to Do Before High School star were School of Rock's Ricardo Hurtado, who replied saying "Congrats bro🙌🏻❤️", Henry Danger's Riele Downs, who replied saying "congrats 🥳👏🏾", and Star Fall's Siena Agudong, who replied saying "AWWWWW [...] CONGRATULATIONS".

Congratulations guys!! ❤️❤️❤️

Update (2/17) - It looks like Cree and Jaheem have got us good! Hours after Jaheem “proposed,” Cree announced that the entire engagement was just a joke!

Naturally, fans were super confused because they didn’t even know the Game Shakers actress and 100 Things To Do Before High School actor were dating. Nonetheless, their famous friends and Instagram followers were quick to leave congratulatory comments on both stars’ photos.

Henry Danger star Riele Downs wrote, “OMG!! So happy for [you]!” in the comments section.

The pair’s fellow Nickelodeon alum Lizzy Greene also sent a sweet message and said, “Can I be the flower girl?”

Lilimar Hernandez was also on board with the apparent engagement and commented, “The 100 Things [To Do Before High School] X Game Shakers crossover episode we all needed.”

Hours after they posted the original photos, Cree edited her Instagram caption and clarified to her followers that she wasn’t actually engaged to Jaheem.

“Definitely NOT engaged! Apologies for the confusion,” she explained. “We thought it would be fun to take some fake little proposal pics in front of the castle at Disney, on Valentine’s Day. We are the best of friends and love each other very much! But we can happily confirm we are NOT actually engaged. With Love, Cree and Jah.”

'90s 'All That' Stars Alisa Reyes and Lori Beth Denberg to Revive 'The Island Girls' Sketch on This Saturday's New Episode

OG All That cast members Alisa Reyes and Lori Beth Denberg are set to guest star on this Saturday's brand new episode of Nickelodeon's freshly revived All That!


The brand new episode will see Denberg and Reyes revive their beloved "The Island Girls" sketch, in which they play Fran and Kiki, respectively. The skit revolves around two girls who are stranded on a deserted island after Kiki's boat collided with Fran's boat, as seen in the theme song, which was a spoof of Gilligan's Island.

Fran desperately wants to escape the island and often devised ways to reach civilization. Unfortunately, the happy-go-lucky (and not-so-bright) Kiki would constantly end up ruining Fran's ideas. Occasionally, visitors would come to the island such as a group of pirates (played by Angelique Bates and Josh Server) looking for buried treasure, natives from a neighboring island (played by Kel Mitchell and Josh Server) looking for human sacrifices to give to their sacred hamster, three-armed aliens (played by Kenan Thompson and Josh Server) who are visiting Earth, and Kiki's sister Didi (played by Katrina Johnson) who has the same personality as her sister. Fran would always hope to escape with them only to see them driven away by Kiki's silly actions. The sketch always ended with Kiki singing her "Forever and Ever" song and Fran knocking herself unconscious so that she wouldn't have to hear Kiki sing.

Alisa Reyes mentioned at the 2011 Comikazee Panel that "The Island Girls" was her favorite All That sketch.

Both Denberg and Reyes, along with fellow legacy cast members Kel Mitchell, Kenan Thompson and Josh Server have previously made cameos on Nickelodeon's refreshed All That, which premiered on Nickelodeon USA on Saturday, June 15, 2020. The series is currently rolling out onto Nickelodeon channels globally.


Nickelodeon's all new All That stars a new group of kids, billed as the "New Kids of Comedy": Ryan Alessi, Reece Caddell, Kate Godfrey, Gabrielle Green, Nathan Janak, Lex Lumpkin, Chinguun Sergelen, and Aria Brooks.

Catch Alisa Reyes and Lori Beth Denberg's brand new episode of All That, premiering Saturday, February 15, 2020 at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT), only on Nickelodeon! The new episode also features an appearance by Young Dylan, the star of Nickelodeon's upcoming comedy Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan!

Nicktoons UK to Premiere 'The Casagrandes' in February 2020

NICKTOONS UK TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE CASAGRANDES

New Series Follows Adventures of a Multigenerational Mexican-American Family
in Spinoff of the Emmy Award-Winning The Loud House

Share it: @nickelodeonuk @thecasagrandes


A new home in the city holds big adventures, laughs and love around every corner in The Casagrandes, and this February half-term, Nicktoons UK & Ireland will be treating fans to a super sneak-peek of Nickelodeon’s new original animated series!

A spinoff of Nick’s animated hit The Loud House, The Casagrandes tells the story of 11-year-old Ronnie Anne who moves to the city with her mom and older brother to live with their big, loving family, the Casagrandes.

After moving in with their grandparents in Great Lakes City, Ronnie Anne adjusts to her new life living under one roof and over the family-run mercado (local market), which is a gathering place for everyone in the neighborhood. The series showcases the culture, humor, and love that’s part of growing up in a multigenerational Mexican-American family.

Nicktoons UK & Ireland will air a sneak-peek of The Casagrandes on Monday 17th February 2020 at 9:00 a.m.. Following its debut, Nicktoons will encore the special preview throughout the February 2020 school holidays.

Following the preview, Nicktoons UK & Ireland will fully premiere The Casagrandes on Monday 24th February 2020, with new episodes airing weekdays at 8:30am. Each all new episode will encore the same day at 1:00pm, 5:00pm, 7:30pm and 4:00am. The series will also air on Nickelodeon, weekdays at 9:30am.

The Casagrandes stars Izabella Alvarez (Westworld) as 11-year-old Ronnie Annie, Carlos PenaVega (Big Time Rush) as her brother Bobby and Sumalee Montano (Nashville) as her mom Maria. Alvarez, PenaVega and Montano bring these characters to life, alongside: Carlos Alazraqui (The Fairly OddParents) as Carlos, “Tio;” Roxana Ortega (The League) as Frida, “Tia;” Alexa PenaVega (Spy Kids) as Carlota; Jared Kozak (Born this Way) as CJ; Alex Cazares (The Boss Baby: Back in Business) as Carl; Ruben Garfias (East Los High) as Hector, “Abuelo;” and Sonia Manzano (Sesame Street) as Rosa, “Abuela.” Additionally, Eugenio Derbez (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) gives voice to Dr. Santiago, a physician living and working in Peru, who is Ronnie Anne and Bobby’s father.

Ronnie Anne’s new apartment building holds new friends and neighbors, including: Ken Jeong (Dr. Ken) as Stanley Chang; Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina the Teenage Witch) as Becca Chang; Leah Mei Gold (Legion) as 12-year-old Sid Chang, Ronnie Anne’s new friend; and Lexi Sexton as Adelaide Chang, Sid’s 6-year-old little sister.

In the first episode, “Going Overboard,” Ronnie Anne finds out her Tio Carlos was a famous skateboarder and she begs him to teach her some new moves. Then, in “Walk Don’t Run,” Ronnie Anne and Sid start a dog-walking business to save up for a new skateboard in a plan that quickly gets out of hand.

The Casagrandes theme song is performed by pop star Ally Brooke.

The Casagrande family was first introduced in the The Loud House special, “The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos,” which premiered in on Nickelodeon USA on May 2017 and ranks as the highest-rated premiere for the series in Live+7 with both K2-11 (6.6/1.8M) and K6-11 (8.1/1.3M).

The Casagrandes made its world premiere on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Monday, October 14, at 1:30 p.m. (ET/PT). Following its launch, the popular series has spawned a podcast, The Casagrandes Familia Sounds and vlog series.


The Casagrandes is produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif. The series is executive produced by Michael Rubiner (The Loud House), with Karen Malach (The Loud House) serving as producer, Alan Foreman as supervising producer and Miguel Puga as supervising director. Award-winning cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz (Coco) serves as consulting producer and cultural consultant.

Fans can visit nicktoons.co.uk/casagrandes and the Nick Play app to find out more about The Casagrandes and the characters in the show, watch short-form clips from the series, including the show's theme song and opening credits, and play games inspired by hit Nicktoons series, including the brand-new "Living Loud: The Surprise Party"

First Look at Patrick Star in 'SpongeBob' Spin-Off 'Kamp Koral'

SpongeBob SquarePants storyboarder John Trabbic III has shared a sneak peek at Kamp Koral, Nickelodeon's upcoming original spinoff series of the network's iconic hit, SpongeBob SquarePants!


The sneak peek, above, is from a storyboard panel of an episode of the series titled "Cabin of Curiosities", and features Patrick pointing at something or someone off-screen. Although John isn't confirming that the panel is from Kamp Koral, the episode has the production code "KK006", which most likely means that it's the sixth episode of the series.
