It looks like Blaze and the Monster Machines have come to the end of the road.
Nickelodeon has decided to cancel the network's hit CG-animated preschool series Blaze and the Monster Machines, with its ninth season, currently airing on Nickelodeon, set to be the show's final. The news was revealed by series co-creator Jeff Borkin in a message to a fan.
Blaze and the Monster Machines will end its run after 180 episodes. Borkin went on to explain that Nickelodeon had renewed the show for an additional 26 episodes - which were set to be spread across seasons 10 and 11 - which would have brought the show's episode count up to 206, however, the network decided to cancel the episode order mid-production during summer 2024.
The STEM-based preschool series Blaze and the Monster Machines follows the amazing monster truck Blaze and his driver AJ as they explore the physics of how things move, tackle problems through scientific inquiry and mathematics, and discover the parts needed to make everyday technologies work. Co-created by Jeff Borkin (Team Umizoomi head writer) and Ellen Martin (Bubble Guppies supervising producer), the series premiered on Monday, October 13, 2014 as the first preschool show on TV to comprehensively cover all areas of STEM in every episode.

From the official Super Evil Megacorp newsroom:
Casey Jones & The Junkyard Jam DLC announced, coming out on Feb 5th
We are proud to announce that Casey Jones will join Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate as a playable character on February 5th! But that’s not all—The Junkyard Jam also introduces a new playable area, powers, enemies, and bosses!
The Turtles can use all the help they can get as they go up against Shredder and try to get their Father back. Thankfully, their friend and fellow vigilante Casey Jones is always ready to pick up his hockey stick and do some damage. What's more, he happens to know a shortcut to the rooftops of NYC! Strangely, their path takes them straight through the Junkyards and Punk Frog turf. Could this have anything to do with Casey’s missing ride?
They are no match for Casey, though– what he lacks in finesse he more than makes up for in raw power. His Slapshot Special Attack is the first ranged attack in the game, taking down punks from afar.
WELCOME TO THE JUNKYARD
After defeating Karai, you will be given a choice to enter the Streets, or try your luck in the Junkyard. The Junkyard brings an all new narrative starring Casey, the Punk Frogs, their mechanic, Gigi, and a special encore surprise for the Turtles.
While a junkyard wouldn’t normally feel like home, the Punk Frogs have settled in and made it their own. The warmth from the blazing barrel fires, the completely non-toxic pools of water, the artistry of Frog graffiti peppering the landscape. What could be better?
Make sure you visit Gigi’s Chop Shop, the Crane Vista, and complete your stay with a lively bop in the Battlebot Arena.
NEW ENEMIES AND CHALLENGING BOSSES
The Punk Frogs continue to test your patience while you make your way through the Junkyard. Attila, leader of the Punk Frogs, has cobbled together repurposed versions of Stockgen robots to wreak all kinds of havoc. Gigi, the vivacious toad mechanic and a threat the Turtles and their friends have never before faced, wields her sawblade with ferocity to make for a challenging mid-run foe. Your ultimate Junkyard challenge will be Genghis’ mech bot, The Junkinator, constructed from parts found both in the Junkyard and elsewhere, and perhaps even some parts familiar to the Turtles family...
NEW WAYS TO PLAY
Earn 5 new Artifacts and explore using Casey’s inspirations, masteries, and tools across your runs with other characters! Artifacts include some helpful additions for co-operative group play, as well as new ways to control the battlefield. Casey’s suite of powers help him excel with his Special ability, Guard Break, and many more surprises.
CO-OP MADNESS
Your friends don’t own Casey Jones & the Junkyard yet? No problem. Everyone can play the Junkyard in Online Play when the match host has access to it, or you can invite your friends over for a good old-fashioned game night couch co-op. Get your friends and family excited to share in the experience of Casey Jones & the Junkyard Jam!
The Junkyard Jam will be available on Steam, Steam Deck, Epic Store, Nintendo Switch, and Apple Arcade on February 5th. See you soon!
