Additionally, Rob Paulsen (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Maurice LaMarche (Animaniacs) reunite to voice Foot Lieutenant, the de-facto leader of the Foot Clan, and Foot Brute, the Foot Lieutenant’s right-hand man.

The reimagined 2D animated series will premiere globally across Nickelodeon’s channels and branded blocks in more than 170 countries and territories in the months that follow the premiere. Fans can watch a sneak peek of the premiere episode, “Mystic Mayhem,” on Friday, July 20, at 9:30 p.m. The new 26-episode series is co-executive produced by Andy Suriano and Ant Ward.
