The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Return for More Animated Mutant Mayhem in New Teaser

The TMNT surfaced at SDCC 2024.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming out of their shells. Last summer's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie ended with the four turtle bros — Leo (Nicolas Cantu), Donnie (Micah Abbey), Raph (Brady Noon), and Mikey (Shamon Brown Jr.) — stepping out of the shadows to enroll in high school. But in Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the new animated series set in the world of Mutant Mayhem, the heroes in a half-shell are forced to fight solo when a new villain plots a mutant massacre.

Paramount+ released an extended sneak peek from the 2D-animated spinoff series (below) during its San Diego Comic-Con panel on Thursday, and it teases an all-out mutant melee on the streets of New York City. The Mutant Mayhem-based series will premiere its 12-episode first season on August 9th.

Tales of the TMNT is the next chapter in the Mutant-verse, which is set to expand with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed video game this fall and a currently-untitled movie sequel in 2026. 

Along with Cantu, Abbey, Noon, and Brown — all returning to voice their characters from the movie as series regulars — the celebrity voice cast includes Pete Davidson (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) as the human Rod, Alanna Ubach (Princess Power) as the anti-mutant cyborg Bishop, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad) as the mutated Pigeon Pete. The series will introduce the East River Three, a gang of Mutanimals that includes Danny Trejo's (Machete) Mustang Sally, Jillian Bell's (Bless the Harts) Lee the Eel, and Timothy Olyphant's (The Mandalorian) Goldfin.

Also returning from the movie: Ayo Edebiri as the Turtles' human ally April, Rose Byrne as Leatherhead, Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut, and Post Malone as Ray Fillet.
