Rugrats is revived with original characters for new Paramount+ network

A revival of children’s cartoon Rugrats is being planned with the original voice cast set to return.

A trailer showed characters Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, Susie and twins Phil and Lil in an updated CG animation style of the show which aired from 1991-2004.

Actors EG Daily, Nancy Cartwright, Cheryl Chase, Cree Summer and Kath Soucie will all be returning, network Nickelodeon said.

The Nickelodeon Animation Studio stated the revival will follow the toddlers as “they explore the world and beyond from their pint-sized and wildly imaginative point-of-view.”

The programme, which was a massive hit with generations of young people, is likely to be ready for screening in the coming months.

Ramsey Naito, president of Nickelodeon Animation, said: “Rugrats is one of the most iconic cartoons recognised by fans around the globe, and this original version is one we are taking great care and pride in creating for a brand new audience.

“Having the voice cast behind these special characters come together is one of the essential pieces to making the show recognisable.

"We can’t wait to watch this talented group bring them to life again.”

The Rugrats reboot is set to be broadcast later this year. It was announced by ViacomCBS as it prepares to launch Paramount+, its rebranded streaming service, in the US next month.
