They featured the iconic ninja turtles, Master Splinter, and their friend April O’Neil. According to Nickelodeon, a trailer and more information about the film will be shared once they have it.

The original cast from the 2018 reboot will be reprising their roles and the film was directed by Andy Suriano and Ant Ward. According to the film’s Netflix page, the ninja turtles will be tested when creatures from another universe arrive to unleash chaos.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an American media franchise that started in 1984 and had five television series featuring the iconic characters. It was originally a comic book written by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird and was adapted to screen in 1987. The franchise is about four anthropomorphic turtles who lived in the sewers of New York, as they fight evil using their ninja skills. Paramount, the parent company of Nickelodeon, bought the franchise from the owners in 2009.
