'As Told By Ginger', 'KaBlam!', 'Action League Now!', 'Nick Arcade' and More Removed From Paramount+

Paramount+ has suddenly removed As Told By Ginger from its programming library.

As Told By Ginger

Fans recently took notice that the Nickelodeon animated series had disappeared from the streaming service, leaving many worried about the availability of the beloved Nicktoon. Unfortunately, the loss of this animated classic from Paramount’s platform means that it cannot be legally viewed anywhere at the moment, as it currently isn’t available on any digital storefront. While there have been instances in the past of removed series playing leapfrog from one streaming service to another, an official comment has yet to be released by Paramount, meaning nothing has been confirmed when it comes to As Told By Ginger.

Rather than focusing on adventures taking place under the sea like SpongeBob SquarePants or attempting to take over the world like Invader Zim, Ginger’s animated series took a page from shows like Doug, creating an interesting yet mundane setting for its titular character. First premiering in the year 2000, the series would garner three seasons and became a cult classic for many Nickelodeon fans over the years. While a sequel series and/or spin-off was never announced, it still remains one of the more popular NickToons thanks to its storytelling, and it seems that the only way to legally revisit the show at this point is via physical media.

Nickelodeon describes As Told By Ginger as such, “Middle schooler Ginger Foutley thinks she’s a geek – but doesn’t want to be. She and her best pals, Dodie, Macie and Darren, aspire to shake the “geek” label and get in with the cool crowd. Will they succeed? As Told By Ginger offers the rare opportunity to get a definitive answer: unlike most animated shows, the characters aren’t stuck at one age – they actually get older as the show progresses — and the whole series is one continuing story.” Following the loss of this series on Paramount+, the question arises what other Nicktoons might be getting the axe.

As of the writing of this article, the streaming service still has Nickelodeon classics like SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocko’s Modern Life, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, The Wild Thornberrys, and Rocket Power, to name a few. Fingers crossed that other animated fare from the cable network remains on Paramount+, but these days, it feels like nothing is safe when it comes to streaming.

The move echoes Paramount+ around the same time last year, when the platform removed a raft of Nickelodeon programing, including Doug. In a statement, a Paramount spokesperson said that the title purges are part of the company’s normal process of removing and adding titles, which is done on a monthly and quarterly basis.

Update (1/6/26): Unfortunately, two more classic Nickelodeon series were removed from Paramount+ during the winter holidays: KaBlam! and it's spin-off, Action League Now!.

Update (1/20/26): A slew of Nickelodeon shows and specials were removed from Paramount+ on New Year's Day, including:

  • The Adventures of Paddington (2019 series)
  • Bob the Builder Classic (1999 series)
  • Bob the Builder (2015 series)
  • Frankie and Frank
  • Kiri & Lou
  • LEGO City Adventures
  • LEGO Jurassic World

Paramount+ News Round-Up | January 20, 2026

A round-up of Paramount+ news!

Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy in 'Landman'

  • As Season 2 of Landman comes to a close, Billy Bob Thornton assures fans they haven’t seen the last of Tommy Norris: Despite his character’s ousting from M-Tex Oil in the Paramount+ show’s penultimate episode, the Oscar-winning actor recently declared that reports he’s leaving the show ahead of Season 3 are nothing more than “AI-generated cr*p.” Thornton told USA Today: “There’s an AI report that Demi [Moore] and I are a couple now, and there’s one that I’m leaving the show [...] They have nothing to do with reality.” [Via Deadline]
  • NCIS: Tony & Ziva won't be returning for a second season. Upon the show's cancelation in December, a ‘Save Tony and Ziva’ fan campaign was launched, which has seen billboards encouraging Paramount to change their decision appear in New York, Los Angeles and Paris, France. Series star Michael Weatherly thanked the fans, saying it “maybe even nudged my tear ducts.” In France, a mobile digital billboard drove through the streets and past the most famous landmarks in France’s capital with the message “Save Tony and Ziva” and an accompanying QR code on the side. The van first stopped at the L’Arc de Triomphe and made rounds of the city, according to the @NCISTivaFans social media account. Over seven hours it visited spots such as the Opéra, Bastille, République, Rivoli, Champs-Élysées and Trocadéro. [Via Deadline]
  • After their first episode of Landman, Bobbi Salvör Menuez has quickly made waves for bringing some unexpected LGBTQIA+ representation to the Taylor Sheridan hit series. The actor, who plays Ainsley’s [Michelle Randolph] non-binary roommate Paigyn Meester in the final stretch of Season 2, admitted to Deadline they were “barely familiar with the Taylor Sheridan universe” and its “immense” impact before joining the Paramount+ series, explaining why they were “excited” to bring a new element to the show. The actor also talks about how they hope to return in the upcoming third season.

Reemah Sakaan Appointed President of UK PSB 5

Reemah Sakaan appointed President of 5

Reemah Sakaan Headshot

London, UK, 15 January 2026:  Paramount has announced the appointment of Reemah Sakaan as the new President of its UK public service broadcaster, 5.

Sakaan was most recently Global CEO of BritBox International, the streaming service operating in eight global markets including the U.S., Canada, Australia, Africa and the Nordics.

She will join 5 on 27 January and will report to Kevin MacLellan, Paramount’s President, International and Global Content Distribution.

In the role of President, 5, Sakaan will lead the broadcaster and oversee its growth strategy as 5 continues to build its presence in streaming. Ben Frow, Chief Content Officer, 5, and his commissioning, content and marketing teams will report into Sakaan, as will the broadcaster’s commercial distribution and product teams. She will also work in close partnership with Lee Sears, Paramount’s President of International Ad Sales.

Sakaan has over two decades’ experience in streaming, global content and public service television. She was a founder and Chief Creative Officer of BritBox when it launched in 2017 and scaled the 50/50 joint venture between BBC and ITV internationally.  Appointed Global CEO in 2020, under her leadership the business grew annually by 25% and in 2024 she oversaw BBC Studio’s acquisition of ITV’s share of the business, before stepping down in 2025.

Whilst at BritBox she negotiated global supply deals with Amazon, Apple, Google and Comcast. She also commissioned and co-produced a wide range of returnable British originals for the global streamer, including the International Emmy-winning Irvine Welch’s Crime; After the Flood; Beyond Paradise; and new Agatha Christie adaptations, Why Didn’t They Ask Evans, Murder Is Easy and Towards Zero.

Prior to BritBox, Sakaan held senior roles within commercial and licence-funded public service broadcasting. She was Director of Marketing & Media for Britain’s largest commercial broadcaster, ITV, where she helped launch ITV Hub, and Head of Marketing for BBC ONE and part of the launch team for iPlayer. She began her career in FMCG marketing for Diageo and Reckitt Benckiser.

Reemah Sakaan succeeds Sarah Rose who left Paramount at the end of 2025 to join The Royal Foundation as Chief Executive Officer.

Announcing the new role, Kevin MacLellan said: “I’m excited that we’ve been able to appoint someone of Reemah’s calibre to be the new President of 5.”

“She brings a wealth of experience in streaming, content and commercial strategy and I look forward to working closely with her to deliver the next phase of 5’s growth journey.”

Reemah Sakaan said: “I’ve long admired 5’s exceptional understanding of its audience.  It consistently punches above its weight and is loved by viewers, advertisers and UK creatives as a place for authentic and resonant British storytelling.

“I can’t wait to work with Ben Frow, Kevin MacLellan and all the team to continue accelerating 5’s streaming growth in the most exciting of new eras."

'Solar Opposites' Alumni Land 'Odd Jobs' Animated Series at Prime Video

Mike McMahan and Dominic Dierkes are behind Odd Jobs, set in a future “late-stage capitalist hellscape.”

‘Solar Opposites’ veterans (left) Mike McMahan [photo c/o CBS Studios] and Dominic Dierkes [c/o Prime Video] are working on a new show titled ‘Odd Jobs’ for Prime Video.

Prime Video is adding to its adult animation roster with a series from Solar Opposites alumni Mike McMahan and Dominic Dierkes.

The Amazon-owned streamer has picked up Odd Jobs, a show set 100 years or so in the future that follows a group of gig workers. The show comes from CBS Studios and animation studio Titmouse (Paramount+'s Star Trek: Lower Decks, Prime Video’s The Mighty Nein).

The series order for Odd Jobs comes on the heels of Solar Opposites concluding its six-season run on Hulu last fall. McMahan and Dierkes were executive producers on the final season.

The logline for Odd Jobs reads, “The year is 2127, the world is an extreme late-stage capitalist hellscape. The show follows a reluctant team of gig-workers as they travel around the neo Midwest, doing the weirdest most dangerous tasks the Odd Jobs app demands.”

“While wandering through the wilderness, we accidentally stumbled through a portal and found ourselves hundreds of years in the future,” McMahan and Dierkes said in a statement. “We witnessed bizarre and grotesque portents about where humanity is heading. Instead of acting on those warnings, we’re thrilled to turn them into an animated show.”

Odd Jobs is sharp, absurd, and laugh-out-loud funny, taking a wildly imaginative look at a future that’s as chaotic as it is entertaining,” said Melissa Wolfe, head of animation at Amazon MGM Studios. “Mike and Dominic have built a bold, unpredictable world filled with hilarious characters, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with CBS Studios and Titmouse to bring this new comedy to Prime Video audiences around the world.”

McMahan and Dierkes will executive produce along with Titmouse principles Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina, and Ghostbusters producer Amie Karp.

McMahan, who was an Emmy-winning writer, producer and showrunner on Rick and Morty, also created Star Trek: Lower Decks. Dierkes has also been a writer on shows such as The Mick, Workaholics, Ash vs. Evil Dead and acted on Mystery Team, Community, Parks and Recreation and Mad Men.

Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown | Combat Deep Dive | Daedalic Entertainment

Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown | Combat Deep Dive | Daedalic Entertainment


Join the developers for a deep dive into the combat mechanics of Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown in this latest trailer for the upcoming strategy game. Coming to PC, Switch 2, PlayStation and Xbox on February 18!

More information and pre-orders available at: http://www.stvatu.com/

In this Combat Deep Dive video, the developers explain how they approached Voyager-style battles. They asked what combat feels like in the series and how other Star Trek games interpret it, then built a system centered on the captain’s perspective as it is the central notion in Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown.

You don’t fly the ship like Tom Paris, and you don’t manually fire weapons like Tuvok – you make captain’s calls. You direct targets and subsystems, adjust positioning and energy levels, decide when to launch torpedoes, and more. The deep dive highlights how these decisions shape authentic, tactical Star Trek combat.

Take command of the iconic U.S.S. Voyager in Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown! Explore, survive, and shape the crew's journey home. Available February 18th, preorder now.

Fortnite’s South Park Event Explained: Born in Chaos, Cartman Land, and All Rewards | IGN


Fortnite has gone full South Park with its latest crossover event, Born in Chaos. After reclaiming the legendary Stick of Truth, Professor Chaos plunges Cartman, Stan, Kyle, Kenny (and even the school bus) straight into Fortnite itself. This limited-time event introduces Cartman Land, a brand-new South Park-themed point of interest packed with rides, mini-games, quests, and deep-cut references from the long-running animated series. Players can complete event quests to earn Cred, unlock Member Berries, and score exclusive cosmetics, including outfits for the boys, themed back bling and pickaxes, the Towlie sidekick, and the Imagination Blimp glider.

We break down everything included in the Born in Chaos event, from Chaos Blast and Pi Pi’s strangely yellow Lazy River to Princess Kenny’s castle, Kenny Tokens, Cheesy Poofs, and the mysterious return of the Stick of Truth itself. Whether you’re here for the rewards or the references, there’s plenty for South Park fans to discover.
