Paramount+’s revival of “Rugrats” is getting a second season.

New episodes for the current first season will return on Oct. 7, which will include a Halloween special.

Based on the 1991 Nickelodeon series, the “Rugrats” revival follows a group of toddlers as they “explore the world and beyond from their pint-sized and wildly imaginative point of view.” The new series saw the original voice cast for the babies return: E.G.

Actress Natalie Morales said her voice character Betty in the rebooted Paramount+ Rugrats series will be an openly gay woman.

Morales made the revelation in a statement to the A.V. Club. The character is mother to two children, Phil and Lil, and has been married to Howard in prior versions.

Morales said in her statement that she thinks “Anyone who watched the original show may have had an inkling Betty was a member of the alphabet mafia.”

She added, “Betty is a single mom with her own business who has twins and still has time to hang out with her friends and her community, and I think it’s just so great because examples of living your life happily and healthily as an out queer person is just such a beacon for young queer people who may not have examples of that.”

Morales said that “cartoons were hugely influential for me as a kid,...

Nickelodeon cartoons “Dora the Explorer” and “The Fairly OddParents” are getting live-action series on Paramount+.

“Dora” will target kids aged 6-11 and their families, Nick said. The original “Dora the Explorer” cartoon launched in 2000 and wrapped in 2019, the same year the live-action “Dora and the Lost City of Gold” was released theatrically. That film, which starred Isabela Merced in the titular role, made about $120 million worldwide on a budget of $49 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

“The Fairly OddParents,” meanwhile, is one of Nick’s longest-running and most successful animated series.

The announcement was among the deluge of news shared on Wednesday during ViacomCBS’ streaming investor day. Brian Robbins, the president of kids and family entertainment at ViacomCBS, had the honor of sharing this one.

In addition to these live-action shows, Nickelodeon properties “Rugrats” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender” are also getting new versions for Paramount+, which launches on March...

Hosted by Lisa Henson (Jim and Jane’s daughter and current CEO) and David Pressler, the fundraiser is described as a “family celebration with Hillary Rodham Clinton” in an online invitation. Admission ranges from $500 to $2,700 for “champions” of her political cause. Also Read: Bernie Sanders' Hollywood Support Surges, But Can He Steal Hillary Clinton's Spotlight?...

John Cameron Mitchell, who played Hannah's e-book editor on Girls, was blindsided by his character's death. He only learned his fate during the episode's read-through. "I didn’t know, and suddenly they got to that part in the episode, and I was shocked," Mitchell told Vulture at a recent New York screening of Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac hosted by Interview and Absolut Elyx. "Afterwards Lena [Dunham] was like I’m so sorry I forgot to tell you. I really felt like a Voodoo doll. I felt a pin in my heart, like 'Oh, shit.' It was a weird feeling."But the circumstances around David Pressler-Going's death remain murky. So what actually happened to him? "I thought he might have had a bad Grindr date," Mitchell told Vulture. "I think it was over by the piers and he was re-creating some late-'70s piers sex. I think he might...

After starting off the third season of Girls with such a solid bang, it was perhaps inevitable that Lena Dunham‘s series would have to stall out at some point, and the fifth episode of the season (“Only Child”) is that stall out. While things start off extremely promisingly – with Hannah (Dunham) and Adam (Adam Driver) attending the funeral of her recently departed weirdo editor, David Pressler-Goings (John Cameron Mitchell) – things go downhill extremely quickly. Bugged out both by the appearance of a Mrs. Pressler-Goings (the divine Jennifer Westfeldt) and the news that all of her editor’s books are now “dead,” Hannah reacts, well, like Hannah – by pressing the widow for publishing contacts. Despite the interest of a new publisher, things aren’t exactly coming up Hannah, and when she kicks Caroline (Gaby Hoffmann) out of the apartment, it looks like a fight with Adam is on the horizon. Elsewhere...

After last week’s game-changing new episode of Lena Dunham‘s Girls, it seemed as if things were finally moving into a fun new direction for the girls, the boys, and all those tangled interpersonal relationships that hold them together. And then came death. Just, like, a lot of death. Hannah’s nutso editor, David Pressler-Goings (John Cameron Mitchell) showed up dead (as Hannah shared, Gawker even posted about his Hudson River-bound death under the amazing and horrifying title “Goings Goings Gone”), and Hannah reacted in typical Hannah fashion – she made it about her. Specifically, she turned it into a series of long-winded worries about what will happen to her still-gestating e-book. Elsewhere, Jessa (Jemima Kirke) mused on the death of her close friend Season to very surprising results, Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) literally just stood around folding bandanas, Marnie (Allison Williams) continued to feel the fallout from her YouTube fame, and...

The article below contains spoilers for "Dead Inside," the January 26th, 2014 episode of "Girls." Death comes to "Girls" by way of David Pressler-Goings (John Cameron Mitchell), the editor of Hannah's (Lena Dunham) ebook and a figure who went from tormenter to apparent friend as she got her act together and managed to actually produce the collection of personal essays for which she was contracted. Mitchell got to go out on a memorable note in the previous episode, crashing Hannah's birthday party while high on something, getting into a fight with Ray (Alex Karpovsky) and borrowing a phone on which he immediately installed Grindr. News of his passing -- he was found face down in the Hudson River by the Chelsea Piers, dying the way he apparently lived -- reaches Hannah as she arrives at his Millstreet Press offices for a meeting, and all she can think of in the...

Did anyone really expect Hannah to handle that death any differently?

On Sunday's (Jan. 26) episode of "Girls," appropriately titled "Dead Inside," Ms. Horvath (Lena Dunham) was forced to deal with the untimely death of her editor, David Pressler-Goings. Naturally, she made the situation all about herself.

The episode opened with Hannah late for a meeting with David (played by John Cameron Mitchell, last seen going insane at her birthday party), only she's not the latest one. David hadn't been seen yet. As she awaits his arrival, the office quickly begins to lose its mind as word of David's death spreads. First worried that it's not safe to be in the building, Hannah overhears the receptionist tell someone else the man was found dead.

With a fear that her literary future rests face down in the Hudson River with David, Hannah spirals into a shameful bit of narcissism. First with...

In its third season, premiering this Sunday, January 12th at 10pm with two back-to-back episodes, "Girls" ventures boldly into material it has never attempted before: happiness. After dabbling in drugs for the sake of journalism, spending a weekend having sex with a stranger and relapsing into Obsessive Compulsive Disorder due to writer's block last year, Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) begins season three, stunningly, in a place of relative stability and contentment. She's living with Adam (Adam Driver), who came to her rescue at the end of season two, she's taking her meds and making real progress on the memoir ebook she's still working on with editor David Pressler-Goings (John Cameron Mitchell). The awful haircut she gave herself has even grown out into a fetching boy cut -- everything's coming up Hannah. Well, Hannah is still poor, still prone to blurting out terrible things and still a slob ("Did you leave in a rush?...
