Rugrats Reboot Gets Premiere Date at Paramount+ — Watch Trailer
Hold on to your bottles, because the Rugrats are back for their “bigger-est” adventures yet.
Paramount+ has set a Thursday, May 27 premiere date for the Nicktoon’s CG-animated reboot. The date was first confirmed in a sizzle reel for the recently rebranded streaming service (fka CBS All Access), which featured new footage of Tommy Pickles and his menacing cousin Angelica. That was followed by a full-fledged trailer on Wednesday, which is embedded above.
The new Rugrats follows the “even bigger adventures born from the colorful imaginations of Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Susie and Angelica,” according to the official logline. (Dil, Kimi and Kira have presumably been erased from existence.) The first batch of episodes will drop on May 27, followed by a second batch at a later date.
In the one-hour premiere, appropriately titled “Second Time Around,” Tommy leads the babies on a daring adventure to help Chuckie after his big attempt to be brave goes horribly wrong. (Warning: dinosaurs are involved.)
As previously reported, original voice actors E.G. Daily (Tommy), Nancy Cartwright (Chuckie), Cheryl Chase (Angelica), Cree Summer (Susie) and Kath Soucie (Phil and Lil) will reprise their iconic roles. New cast additions include Veep trio Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky and Timothy Simons. Hale will take over the role of neurotic musician Chas Finster (aka Chuckie’s father), while Chlumsky and Simons will voice Angelica’s ‘rents, city councilwoman Charlotte and pharmaceutical rep Drew.
Additional franchise newbies include Ashley Rae Spillers (Vice Principals) as Tommy’s mother Didi, a passionate artisan and blogger; Tommy Dewey (Casual) as Tommy’s father Stu, an optimistic inventor; Natalie Morales (Dead to Me) as Phil and Lil’s mother Betty, Didi’s best friend and coffeehouse owner; Nicole Byer (Nailed It!) as Susie’s mother Lucy, a fun and generous physician; Omar Miller (The Unicorn) as Susie’s father Randy, an affable and good-natured science teacher; and Michael McKean (Better Call Saul) as Grandpa Lou Pickles, an active senior who enjoys yoga.
“Rugrats is one of the biggest and most influential TV hits among kids and parents ever,” President of Nickelodeon Animation Ramsey Naito said in a statement. “We can’t wait for the all-new series to debut on Paramount+.” Added executive producer and SVP of Nickelodeon Preschool Eryk Casemiro, “This brand-new CG take on the franchise is packed with all-new stories and adventures for the babies and pairs original voice cast members with an all-star roster of brand-new talent, making it the perfect combination for the original Nick generation and today’s kids.”

I loved Rugrats but hard pass. I don’t care for what passes for animation these days.
Agreed they completely ruined the look of the Rugrats. The not so perfect animation from the original series was how you knew it was on Nickelodeon because it wasn’t perfect like what would be on Disney. The look of the animation added to the charm of the show.
That’s the definition of toxic entitlement and superiority
Don’t feel sorry because they like what they have
Clearly you can’t embrace new interpretations and ur stuck in the past
Then ignore it why did you even click on this article
Just to be an ass?
Dude grow up
Clearly you don’t love them enough a true fan would be open to giving it a chance
Because the original creators are working on this
So ur disrespecting them
oh my. i hate it i hate it i hate it
it looks so bad
You have no soul or heart
i know every generation says this…buttt……i feel lucky to be a 90s kids and 00s teens. tv shows/movies were just different and amazing, I could die happy over the fact that i experienced it.
I truly do feel sorry for kids today. not just cause the animation sucks…what even is this? but literally not even original ideas anymore.
i will still watch for the nostalgia but it will suck.
They literally showed a bunch of original shows alongside rugrats
Then ignore it why did you even click on this article
Just to be an ass?
Dude grow up
It’s like ur blind or something
There are a lot of original ideas
Amphibia
Owl house
Ollie’s pack
It’s pony
The loud house
Etc
And a lot of shows in that sizzle reel are original
Also the original creators are making it so ur being disrespectful to them
If you don’t wanna watch it then ignore it
Ur opinion was irrelevant
Clearly you are either stupid or blind or both
The animation for this looks TERRIBLE
AWWW IT LOOKS SO ADORABLE AND CUTE YES IT DOES YES IT DOES THE WITTLE BABIES ARE SOO PRECIOUS AND WHOLESOME AWWWW 🥰
Gosh dang this show looks fugly.
I’m going to watch it because I love Nancy Cartwright’s character Chucky! He’s so cute. I can’t wait to see this and have some fun. Yay for Rugrats. Smart babies. #positivity
