Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide stars Devon Werkheiser (Ned Bigby), Daniel Curtis Lee (Simon "Cookie" Nelson-Cook) and Lindsey Shaw (Jennifer "Moze" Mosely) came together for an epic reunion this weekend! Joining them for the reunion was Scott Fellows, the creator of the beloved Nick series!
"gang ••• omg ••• 🙀 ••• 🙋♂️📓✏️ ••• w/" Devon captioned a set of photos on his Instagram. Lindsey replied saying "Squad", whilst Rob Pinkston (Coconut Head) proclaimed "THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED".
Daniel treated us to a couple of videos and a photo from the event on his Instagram, adding the caption "Ned’s Declassified Family Reunion! 🍪 Uncle Cookies’s back in the building with Ned and Moze! So much love in the room! Re- 🥾 ?!?"

You read that right, Lindsey said "Really excited at the possibility of creating with you all again" - Could that mean that we'll be getting more content featuring the stars of the beloved Nick series?

Power Rangers Beast Morphers Season 2 Official First Look Trailer
Check out this first look from Power Rangers Beast Morphers Season 2! It's game time!
"In season 2 of POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS, Evox returns and he’s more powerful than ever! The Power Rangers will gain access to all new power upgrades, powerful new weapons, and epic new Megazords in order to protect the Morphin Grid and save the world!
Episode 1 “Believe It or Not” premieres Saturday Feb 22 at 8AM ET/PT on Nickelodeon USA!
Contrary to what past years’ trends have left fans expecting, this year’s team won’t be Super Beast Morphers. Or Beast Super Morphers. The show’s 2020 season will officially be known simply as the second season of Power Rangers Beast Morphers - and the 27th season overall of the iconic and long-running Power Rangers franchise.
Power Rangers Beast Morphers Season 2 will feature the return of Doctor K from Power Rangers RPM, as well as a dino-themed team-up starring Austin St. John, the original Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger (Jason Lee Scott). Select heroes from Power Rangers Dino Charge including Brennan Mejia (Tyler the Dino Charge Red Ranger), Yoshi Sudarso (Koda the Dino Charge Blue Ranger), and Davi Santos (Ivan the Dino Charge Gold Ranger) will also return for the dino-themed teamup.
As you can see, the Rangers will now have to face an even deadlier Evox this season, so they'll need all the help they can get to take him down. Luckily they'll have an assortment of new weapons to help with that courtesy of Grid Battleforce, including a slick new bow Nate can be seen wielding called the Beast-X King Battle Bolt.

It wouldn't be a new season of Power Rangers without some new armor, and we get our first look at Beast-X Battle Mode, which gives each Ranger armored chest plates and armored shoulders, gauntlets, and boots. With these new powers in hand, the Beast Morphers team will be charged with taking on Robo Blaze, a brand new villain coming in 2020. Who is Robo Blaze, and how is he different from the villain the Rangers defeated in the first season? Fans will have to find out when the show premieres in 2020.
Last but not least the clip shows off one of the new Megazords, and the blue and gold Zord does not disappoint, sporting a dual bladed weapon and a shield, and we cannot wait to see what else it can do.
The season will include 22 brand new episodes, including two holiday themed specials set to air around Halloween and the Christmas holidays.
Below are the currently announced Power Rangers Beast Morphers season two episodes set to debut on Nick USA:
Saturday, February 22, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. - Believe It or Not: The Rangers are skeptical when Steel says he's found clues that proves Evox may have returned (#1001)
Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. - Believe It or Not: Save Our Shores
Each episode will air on Nickelodeon USA at 8 a.m. ET/PT. The season will then last the duration of the year, with an annual summer hiatus set to cover the length of the summer. PRBM season two is also expected to air on Nickelodeon in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Greece and India, and POP in the U.K.
Power Rangers Beast Morphers will have 44 episodes in its entirety, and air on Nickelodeon from 2019-2020.
Fans can check out the official Power Rangers Beast Morphers synopsis below.
"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."
Power Rangers Beast Morphers stars Rorrie Travis as Devon the Red Ranger, Jasmeet Baduwalia as Ravi the Blue Ranger, Jackie Scislowski as Zoey the Yellow Ranger, Abraham Rodriguez as Nate, Colby Strong as Blaze, Liana Ramirez as Roxy, Kristina Ho as Betty, and Cosme Flores as Ben.
Update (2/12) - Hasbro recently discussed Power Rangers during its Q4 2019 earnings call with investors!:
[...]
The team is actively working to leverage eOne's brands across global multi-category licensing efforts and are already making great progress. We will share more about our plans at our upcoming investor meeting. We leverage and created compelling entertainment to drive creativity across brands. Partner Brand portfolio revenues grew 24% for the full year, and 50% in the fourth quarter. Disney's Frozen 2 and Descendants 3, Marvel's Avengers and Spider-Man franchises, and Star Wars contributed to the gains for the year. We added POWER RANGERS to our Hasbro-owned portfolio, executing the brand across our blueprint in consumer products, entertainment and digital gaming. 2020 will be our first full year globally, and we will offer new expressions across product, gaming, story and experience.
[...]
Overall, Hasbro's revenue grew at actual and constant rates. And on an as reported and adjusted basis, operating profit increased. Looking at our segments, US and Canada segment revenue grew 3% for the year with growth in Partner and Emerging Brands. Underlying profit was essentially flat as we absorbed higher royalty costs in support of strong Partner Brand growth, higher intangible amortization associated with POWER RANGERS, and higher shipping and warehousing costs from carrying more domestic inventory and managing an increasingly just-in-time retail network.
[...]
Brian D. Goldner -- Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
We saw growth across each of that discrete parts of the Entertainment, Licensing and Digital business. Our consumer products, licensing business was up, our digital gaming business was up with a number of our digital games with partners performing incredibly well, including YAHTZEE With Buddies, which was a top 50-game on the Apple App Store. We had a new MONOPOLY game launching from Marmalade Studio that launched in December and chartered as number one as it launched. Our POWER RANGERS digital games continue to perform well. And in the first quarter 2020, we have a G.I. Joe game in support of the brand, called G.I. Joe: War on Cobra that launches in Q1, as well as Scrabble GO game that will launch from Scopely in Q1.
So digital gaming grew, our entertainment business grew, and our Wizards digital business all grew in 2019. Arena grew throughout the year. Arena grew in the fourth quarter, offset by a bit of decline in the legacy Magic: The Gathering online business. But overall Arena had a fantastic year and we expect continued progress as I outlined, expansion of the brand across multiple platforms for 2020.

Eric Handler -- MKM Partners -- Analyst
Yes, thank you very much for the question. Two things. First, can you talk a little bit about, for modeling purposes, the seasonality associated with with eOne? I know you're going to talk a little bit about this during the analyst meeting but for modeling purposes now, wondering if you could talk a little bit about this. And then also you've alluded in the past about this sort of being a flexion year for POWER RANGERS. Wonder if you could go into some details about POWER RANGERS and some of the products that you've got for this year?
Sure. So, Eric, as I mentioned, we are actually just working on finalizing our combined budgets with eOne and really looking at the seasonality. So much of their seasonality in their family and brands business is very similar to our seasonality, our historical seasonality. But in the television and film business, it's really dependent on -- actually very similar to us last year. One of the things Brian didn't mention in our entertainment and licensing is we had a big delivery of our streaming revenue last year, which offset some of the benefits we're seeing on the revenue side in entertainment and licensing. But so much of that is dependent around delivery. So will give a bit more color on that as we move into the February 21 date.
[...]
Brian D. Goldner -- Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
And for POWER RANGERS, it was a great year on Beast Morphers. It was a strong year one. Recognize that the bulk of our business really didn't begin until the second quarter in 2019. In 2020, we have the benefit of the full year. And as we look at our ratings on Nickelodeon, we are number one in our time slot for kids two to 11. Season 2 of Beast Morphers launches Q1 in North America and it will roll out globally. We're very excited about the brand, as we continue to execute in gaming, in consumer products, and toys and games, and we'll also add an array of experiences -- live experiences for the brand as we roll out globally. So we believe in the growth prospects of the brand, and the teams are very excited about executing across the blueprint.
Watch The New Power Rangers Beast Morphers Season 2 Opening Credits
In advance of the season two premiere, Power Rangers Beast Morphers releases its official title sequence as well as a preview of the new episode.
In advance of the season two premiere, Power Rangers Beast Morphers has released its official title sequence as well as a preview of the new episode, "Believe It Or Not." Beast Morphers is the 21st show in the never ending Power Rangers series that dates back to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers in the early '90s. It follows a new team of rangers who live in the near future where the power of the Morphin' Grid has been turned into a limitless clean energy source called Morph-X for the city of Coral Harbor. That team's powers come from combining Morph-X with animal DNA to create the titular Beast Morphers.
The new rangers, Devon (Rorrie D. Travis), Zoey (Jacqueline Scislowski), Ravi (Jazz Baduwalia), Nate (Abraham Rodriguez), and the robotic Steel (Jamie Linehan) are charged with protecting the Morph-X from a villainous sentient computer virus called Evox (Randall Ewing). Evox and his right-hand man Scrozzle (Campbell Cooley) were believed to have been defeated at the end of the show's first season.

Power Rangers: Who Was The Original Gold Ranger?
The upcoming second season of Beast Morphers will be the 27th season in the Power Rangers series and fittingly comes with a new title sequence. However, it keeps the first season's song that harkens back to the original Mighty Morphers. The sequence shows off plenty of new action, weapons, and Megazords, but the most significant change from season 1 is the addition of a character card for Gold Ranger, Nate. Steel, The Beast Bot and Silver Ranger, is seen throughout the title sequence but doesn't receive a character card of his own. Check out the opening title sequence, as well as a preview of season 2 episode 1 courtesy of Power Rangers Official [... .]
Along with the videos of the episode comes an official description of what fans have in store for them:
In season 2 of POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS, Evox returns and he’s more powerful than ever! The Power Rangers will gain access to all new power upgrades, powerful new weapons, and epic new Megazords in order to protect the Morphin Grid and save the world! In episode 1, “Believe It Or Not,” The Rangers are skeptical when Steel says he’s found clues that proves Evox may have returned.
With the rangers' initial distrust of Steel's, admittedly conspiratorial, instincts, the group looks like they'll find themselves in immediate peril when the episode kicks off. With Evox and his Cyber Dimension allies not so easily defeated, the Beast Morphers are about to be pushed further than ever before. That danger will even require a team-up with the original Red Ranger, another in the series' storied history of iconic returns. This new series, the first from Hasbro's television brand Allspark, is off to a promising start, and it's good to see the series continuing to bring new and exciting things to the table. All this and more will be waiting for fans when season 2 of Power Rangers Beast Morphers begins this Saturday, February 22 at 8:00 AM on Nickelodeon.
Emmy-nominated powerhouse television producer turned Nickelodeon President Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy James are on the move once again, this time packing their designer bags and migrating from historic Hancock Park to the glitzy awesomeness of Beverly Hills, Variety reports. The couple have forked out a very A-list $16.8 million — the most paid for a house in the city thus far this year — for a ravishingly louche showpiece of a modern mansion in the Trousdale Estates enclave of town.
Designed by Paul McClean, the Irish-born architect who arguably kickstarted L.A.’s contemporary mansion boom, the glassy spec-house was built over a four-year period by Lindsay Chambers, an acclaimed interior designer who has developed dozens of luxury houses around L.A. and up in Northern California’s Silicon Valley, and features an exterior clad in exotic stonework hand-finished by artisans in Italy.
Sited on a quiet cul-de-sac and partially obscured behind a dense hedgerow, the house visually presents as a single-story structure but sports a decadent subterranean level outfitted with a wet bar/lounge, wine cellar, home theater, giant marble fireplace, glass-walled “auto gallery,” a wellness center, and a lap pool set beneath a soaring central atrium.
Up above at street level, a hand-crafted door pivots open into a brief courtyard, and an adjacent catwalk leads directly over the lap pool below and through a glass door into the foyer. Inside, there’s a restrained, almost Germanic minimalist aesthetic with subdued, ice-grey color hues throughout. The open floorplan includes a marble-slathered kitchen with high-end stainless appliances, a wine refrigerator, and an eat-in breakfast bar. There’s also a library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, fireplace-equipped living and dining rooms and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass.
The compact backyard includes a patch of faux grass and one of the more unconventional aspects of the property: its arrowhead-shaped infinity pool, a portion of which partially encircles the home’s glass-walled master suite. The westward views drink in the Century City skyline, and large pine trees and other dense foliage serve to block out most of the neighbors, creating a quiet respite in the middle of the bustling Platinum Triangle.
Robbins and James are longtime staples in the property news columns, seeming to move houses every couple years. Once upon a time they owned a large Encino mansion that was sold for $5.5 million to a married pair of high-powered L.A. businesspeople. In 2013, the pair paid English television producer Andrew O’Connor $13.2 million for a very stately house in Brentwood that they subsequently flipped for $15.4 million to Coldplay manager Phil Harvey.
And in 2017, the James-Robbinses paid prolific producer John Wells $12.4 million for a Hancock Park manor on one of the area’s best streets. They have since extensively renovated the entire property, and the house is rumored to be quietly available off-market with a potentially neighborhood record-busting pricetag.
The couple also maintain a vacation getaway in California’s Santa Barbara County; last year, they paid Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi about $7 million for an achingly beautiful ranch set in the foothills above the quaint seaside town of Carpinteria, about two hours by vehicle due northwest of their new 90210 digs.
Dustin Nicholas of Nicholas Property Group held the listing; Rayni Williams of Hilton & Hyland repped the buyers. Both declined to comment on the transaction.
Seller: Lindsay Chambers
Location: Beverly Hills, Calif.
Price: $16.8 million
Size: 12,050 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms
Prior to leading Paramount Players, Robbins co-founded the multi-platform media company Awesomeness in 2012 and served as Chief Executive Officer. Robbins also co-founded the production company Tollins/Robbins Productions and was the Founder and President of Varsity Pictures. In this role, he executive produced numerous television hits for teens and young audiences, including the popular Nickelodeon series Kenan & Kel and All That, the latter of which Robbins adapted into the Nickelodeon feature film Good Burger. Robbins also executive produced Blue Mountain State for Spike TV (now Paramount Network) and produced and/or directed the Paramount films Varsity Blues, Coach Carter and Hardball. His other credits include the television series Smallville and One Tree Hill for CW, and Disney Channel’s Sonny with a Chance and So Random. His film credits include Disney’s Wild Hogs and The Shaggy Dog; DreamWorks’ Norbit and A Thousand Words; and Sony Pictures’ Radio.
Hancock Park House Sells for $19 Million, Shatters Neighborhood Record
Seller: Brian Robbins & Tracy JamesLocation: Hancock Park, Los Angeles, Calif.Price: $19 millionSize: 9,676 square feet, 9 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms
While 2019’s first half was a particularly sluggish time for L.A.’s luxury real estate market, the back half made for the wildest year to date, bowing out with three $100+ million transactions and tallying no fewer than 17 other deals of $30 million or more.
And 2020 already seems on track for more of the same. Last month, a Hollywood Hills compound went for an unprecedented $75 million, and now another record sale has quietly been consummated. In late January, an imposing red-brick Tudor home in L.A.’s historic Hancock Park neighborhood quietly transferred off-market for a rather shocking $19 million, easily the biggest area transaction ever notched.
Sold by Nickelodeon president Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy James, the hulking structure was originally built in 1925 and sits on the premier block of what is arguably the neighborhood’s best street. In 2007, the property was acquired by prolific TV producer John Wells, who kept the old-world architecture intact but added more contemporary conveniences to the inside. About two years ago, he sold the estate to Robbins and James for a relatively paltry $12.4 million.
And the $19 million deal easily blows away the neighborhood’s previous-record holder, the 2015 sale of Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas’s storied Isidor Eisner estate, which went for $15.95 million to Netflix COO Ted Sarandos and his Beverly Hills-bred wife Nicole Avant.
What’s even more eye-popping about this latest transaction, however, is that the Isidor Eisner estate includes a much larger house — more than 15,000 square feet of living space, per tax records — on a double lot spanning more than 1.5 acres of flat land. The Robbins estate, by contrast, makes do a relatively modest .85 acres of elbow room.
It remains unclear what — if any — changes Robbins made to the property beyond the cosmetic alterations typical at this price point, though the much-increased pricetag indicates some extensive interior renovations were undertaken. But at the time the couple acquired it, in late 2017, the house sported 9 bedrooms and 11 baths in about 9,600 square feet of living space. There are (or were) a proper north/south-facing tennis court, multiple fireplaces, a double-height foyer, an eat-in kitchen with designer appliances, lustrous hardwood floors, manicured grounds, a gazebo and two-story pool/guesthouse with accessory living quarters.
The record-busting buyers, businessman Thomas J. Swan III and his husband Joe Townley, previously owned a different Hancock Park home that was purchased for $11.3 million in 2015 from legally-embattled developer Robert Quigg, who infamously fled the country shortly after.
Back in 2016, Swan told the Larchmont Chronicle that the Quigg house was, in essence, a mess; there were issues with the HVAC system, the garage door motors, wiring and chimney flues. Records show he sold that property late last year, in another off-market deal, for just $9.2 million to an Oaktree Capital managing director — a hefty $2.1 million loss before taxes, carrying costs and realtor fees.
But any past quality concerns and multimillion-dollar financial gut punches clearly didn’t dissuade Swan and Townley from upping their investment in the neighborhood. The couple’s new mansion, mostly hidden from passersby behind rigorously manicured ornamental hedges and carefully pruned trees, lies on the same tree-lined street as the homes of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Mercury Insurance founder George Joseph and actor Max Greenfield.
Robbins and James have moved on to a snazzy new Paul McClean-designed contemporary home in Beverly Hills they picked up last week, paying $16.8 million. They also continue to maintain a stunningly picturesque $7 million ranch up north in Carpinteria, Calif., acquired from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi last summer.
