Paramount+ and Nickelodeon today revealed the teaser, first-look images and premiere date for Henry Danger The Movie, a feature-length original movie based on the hit live-action series. In an exciting new chapter of the action-comedy franchise, Henry finds himself racing through a maze of alternate realities with his new superfan sidekick.

Henry Danger The Movie will be available to stream in the U.S. on Paramount+ on Friday, Jan. 17, and premiere on Nickelodeon that same day at 7 p.m. (Et/Pt). The movie will also premiere on Paramount+ in select international markets where the service is available, and launch on Nickelodeon’s international channels later in the year.

In Henry Danger The Movie, Henry Danger (Jace Norman) meets a superfan—eager to fight crime with Kid Danger—who comes into possession of a device that can open up alternate realities. Facing a wild ride, Henry will need his best friend...

Game shows are the foundation of hopes, fond memories, and major messes; at least they are on the iconic Nickelodeon network. While Nickelodeon is often celebrated for its cartoons, live-action sitcoms, and sketch comedies, its channels also turned children's game shows into an art form. From the late '80s through the modern era, these shows helped shape the television landscape. Looking back at Nickelodeons most unique, memorable, and gloriously sloppy game shows paints a vivid, neon-colored picture of how it became one of the most nostalgic icons in pop culture today.

Founded in 1977 and originally called Pinwheel, Nickelodeon proudly billed itself as "the first cable channel for children." With shows like You Can't Do That on Television, All That, and the now iconic SpongeBob SquarePants, Nickelodeon consistently found innovative ways to entertain young audiences. However, everything changed in 1986 with the production of one of its first dedicated game shows,...

Everyone knows Mel Blanc, who voiced the majority of the Loonie Tunes, as the man of a thousand voices, but another contender for that title is Dee Bradley Baker. Born in Bloomington, Indiana, he graduated with a BA in philosophy from Colorado College and even studied abroad in Germany. After working on sketch comedy and community theater projects, Baker moved to Orlando, Florida, where he landed a role on the Nickelodeon show Legends of the Hidden Temple. From there, he voiced the father on Cartoon Network's Cow and Chicken, which opened the door for more voice-acting possibilities in television, film, and video games.

TV networks come and go. While the state of cable TV now isn’t particularly stable amid the constant streaming wars, TV network deaths have always been monumental funerals. Corporate mergers, changes in demographics, and budget cuts all contributed to channel deaths during the early 21st century that crushed my spirits – long before Netflix even cast the first streaming stone.

Not a day goes by when I don’t reflect upon my childhood spent watching programming on long-gone networks. These networks gave unrepresented artists platforms, brought audiences of underserved demographics together, and ultimately established specific TV identities. These are a few channels that deserve a second or third shot at life.

Spike TV

Before it became the “Yellowstone and Friends” channel, also known as Paramount Network, Spike TV was machismo-television personified. Who doesn’t remember the days of watching Rambo, Star Wars marathons, and 1000 Ways to Die in rotation?...

Cartoons can be pretty weird, and the Cartoon Network series "Adventure Time" is definitely one of the weirder ones. It follows a human boy named Finn (Jeremy Shada) and his best friend, a dog with silly putty-like characteristics named Jake (John Dimaggio). Created by Pendleton Ward, the series takes place in the post-apocalyptic, magical land of Ooo, full of princesses and monsters and all kinds of wild adventures for Finn and Jake to get up to. It ran for 10 seasons on Cartoon Network before getting spin-offs, won multiple Emmys, and had a huge cultural impact that even served as the "structural godfather" for Donald Glover's surreal FX series "Atlanta."

Back when the series was still in its infancy, however, one of its most important contributors didn't understand "Adventure Time" at all. In an oral history of the series for the LA Times, Dimaggio revealed that he struggled to fully wrap...

Discontinued is a new show that explores the biggest flops and failures of recent decades, including the BlackBerry and Legends of the Hidden Temple. The show was originally conceived years ago and had a different pilot episode that was ultimately canceled. However, the show has now been revived with the help of Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort and host Bruce Campbell. Maximum Effort's involvement in the show has elevated its quality and added a darker comedy vibe. The show aims to cover multi-generational topics and iconic products, while also highlighting some bizarre and unsuccessful ideas, such as Harley-Davidson cologne.

Discontinued is a new show from The Nacelle Company and Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort that takes a look back at some of the biggest flops, failures, and fade-aways of recent decades. The first episode covered a number of cultural landmarks from the 1990s and early 2000s including the BlackBerry, the Furby,...

What do Furbies, Talkboys, Star Wars hotels, and Legends of the Hidden Temple have in common? They're all no longer in service or production, otherwise known as "discontinued." On that note, there's a new series of the same name debuting Thursday on Fubo via Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort Channel. Discontinued explores the past eras, products and phenomena that have been taken off the shelves, and in a darkly humorous sort of way, each selection that's explored on the show becomes a stark reminder, ironically, of why they were so beloved in the first place.

Your host for this new adventure? The iconic "Ash" from those acclaimed Evil Dead films, aka Bruce Campbell, playing a version of himself reporting from the distant year 2037 to humorous effect. We recently caught up with the veteran actor, author, director, and frequent Sam Raimi collaborator to learn more about his funny new series.

The CW has tapped Cristela Alonzo to host its upcoming fall competition series Legends of the Hidden Temple, a reimagining of the popular 90s show of the same name. Alonzo will make her debut on the one-hour series on Sunday, October 10 at 8 p.m. Et/Pt.

“Having grown up on 90’s pop culture and actually being a fan of the original Legends of the Hiddle Temple, I am thrilled to be hosting the new updated version of the show,” the writer, producer, actor, and comedian said in a statement. “The biggest challenge for me on this show will be trying to simultaneously host it and contain my geeked-out excitement at the same time.”

The adult version will preserve many elements of the original show including Olmec, the giant talking Mayan head, the Moat Crossings, The Steps of Knowledge, and the Temple Run as well as the team names such as Purple Parrots,...

Writer, producer, actor and comedian Cristela Alonzo has been tapped to host The CW’s “Legends of the Hidden Temple,” a reboot of the hit ’90s game show.

The “Cristela” and “Cars 3” star will assume her role as a “host with stature who also has the humor of a stand-up and the energy of a camp counselor,” according to Scott A. Stone, creator and executive producer of the show.

Based on the Nickelodeon game show created by David G. Stanley, Scott A. Stone and Stephen R. Brown, “Legends of the Hidden Temple” involves four teams competing in various obstacle course challenges in a mysterious jungle for a grand prize. The CW reboot will preserve fan-favorite elements of the original, including the “Olmec” (the giant talking Mayan head), the “Moat Crossings,” “The Steps of Knowledge” and the “Temple Run.”

The series will also keep the original show’s team names: “Purple Parrots,...

The CW is the fifth — and final — broadcast network to firm up its fall 2021 schedule, and there are some big changes.

Riverdale is leaving Wednesdays behind after five seasons leading off the night.

The buzzy teen drama is moving to Tuesdays at 9/8c, out of The Flash.

It’s a big move, but clearly, one to bolster the ratings of the young-skewing drama.

It has been on a slippery slope in the ratings, much like many of the other CW series, so the move is hardly a big surprise.

The CW is also touting both The Flash and Riverdale kicking off with “five-episode events.”

The Flash‘s five-episode event will feature crossovers with Arrowverse characters.

“We’re talking about other superheroes from the CWverse that will come together in each [of the] individual episodes,” CW CEO Mark Pedowitz said of the news.

“That will not quite be a crossover but it will...

Updated with CW schedule: It’s going to feel a lot like 2005 on the Big 4 this fall, and Saturday nights are alright for programming for the CW.

The former is a flashback from the George W. Bush era, when NCIS, CSI and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit all held dominant spots in the primetime lineups. And CBS and NBC are hoping history repeats itself in 2021 with the latest iterations of those franchises hitting the small screen this year, with some original cast members in tow.

Shuffling the deck with long-running Riverdale moving to Tuesdays to partner with The Flash and other scheduling sleight of hands, the CW’s big play is tackling Saturday nights with originals for the first time.

The CW has released its new, seven-night primetime schedule for 2021-2022, filled with competitive games, DC superheroes, supernatural happenings, football and an inaugural Saturday night dedicated to laughs.

This strategic mix of new and returning original scripted series and alternative programming was announced today by Mark Pedowitz, chairman and chief executive officer of The CW.

“This year, as we begin to return to more normalized production schedules, The CW is firing on all cylinders. The CW dares to defy by expanding our primetime schedule to include Saturday night and becoming a full 14-hour, seven-day-a-week broadcast network for the first time in its history, offering more original series on both our linear and digital platforms, providing more opportunities for our advertisers and affiliates,” Pedowitz said. “We are rolling out an exciting line-up of our signature returning series which will be joined this upcoming season by the new, reimagined ‘4400’ and the highly anticipated,...

The CW is going seven days a week and is tinkering with its fall schedule to celebrate.

The youth-skewing network will program the entire week for the first time and is going for a bumper unscripted slate across the weekend as it has originals on Saturday nights for the first time.

The broadcaster is moving a slew of shows to new nights for the upcoming season including new spots for Riverdale, which is being paired with The Flash, Batwoman and Nancy Drew, with DC’s Legends of Tomorrow moving back to the fall after a midseason experiment.

New scripted series Naomi and All American: Homecoming will debut in midseason, while Sunday night, which was a haven for scripted superhero series, is going alternative with new unscripted formats Legends of the Hidden Temple and Killer Camp.

The CW’s Schedule Release Day: Deadline’s Full Coverage

Obviously, last season’s schedule...

After the pandemic forced The CW to hold much of its original programming until midseason and left the fall stacked with mostly acquisitions and imports, the youngest-skewing broadcast network is coming back strong in the 2021-2022 season with a lineup that shakes up every single night of the week except one. Oh, and as TheWrap previously reported, The CW also has one more night of programming this fall, with the addition of Saturday to the mix.

Among the changes on the almost-entirely revamped schedule that The CW revealed Tuesday are the “Legends of the Hidden Temple” reboot and U.S. version of “Killer Camp” on Sundays, which is currently the home of “Batwoman” and “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.”

Monday will remain partially the same, with “All American” returning at 8, but now followed by new series “4400” at 9.

Another somewhat steady night is Tuesday, which will still be the home of...

The broadcast networks are looking forward to a normal TV season this fall after a year upended by Covid delays and production shutdowns.

All five of the major networks have released their full schedules, going light on new comedies and heavy on Dick Wolf. The super-producer will occupy nine full hours of programming across multiple networks every week as the “FBI,” “Law & Order” and “One Chicago” franchises continue to expand.

New shows hitting the air this fall include ABC’s “Wonder Years” reboot, a new take on “The 4400” at The CW, the high-concept drama “La Brea” at NBC, the Fox singing competition “Alter Ego” and new CBS spinoffs “FBI: International,” “CSI: Vegas” and “NCIS: Hawaii.”

The CW is opening up a seventh night of programming in the fall, but don’t expect to see any high-profile scripted series on Saturdays.

Each will have two half-hour installments. Both weekend nights, in fact, are devoted to unscripted series, with an update of beloved Nickelodeon competition Legends of the Hidden Temple and an American version of the horror-themed British show Killer Camp filling Sundays.

The CW has given out series orders to the DC project “Naomi” and “All American: Homecoming,” a spinoff of the high school football drama “All American.”

In addition, the network has decided to rework its pilot for “Powerpuff,” a live-action followup to the animated series “The Powerpuff Girls.” The show’s four leads — Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, Yana Perrault, and Donald Faison — remain attached to the project, as does the remainder of the cast and the creative team behind the show. The network will film a new pilot for the series off-cycle. The show generated significant interest from the time it was first reported as being in development and was seen as a strong contender for a pickup going into pilot season.

If you've been wondering how The CW will schedule the lengthy amount of shows it has renewed for the 2021-22 TV season, we have an answer.

The network has announced plans to become a seven-nights-a-week outlet, confirming it will air content on Saturdays for the first time ever.

The news means the network will be increasing its output from 12 hours a week to 14, and in turn, having a wider array of content on the air at one time.

CW has long been a network that looked at the bigger picture when it comes to ratings, with many of its shows getting more traffic on DVR and on-demand than the linear network.

But the network also has many lucrative streaming deals for its roster of shows.

“Becoming a seven-night-a-week network has been a long-standing goal for everyone here at The CW,” Rob Tuck, EVP of National Sales, said in a statement.

Olmec will have plenty to say about this. The CW is reviving the Legends of the Hidden Temple game show but, this time, adults will be competing.

The original Legends of the Hidden Temple series ran for three seasons on Nickelodeon, from 1993 until 1995, and features six teams of two kids competing against each other. The object of the game is to retrieve one of the historical artifacts in an ancient Mayan-like temple with Olmec (voice of Dee Bradley Baker), a giant stone head located at the entrance. The teams perform physical stunts and answer questions based on history, mythology, and geography. The program was hosted by Kirk Fogg.

If you ever dreamed of competing on Nickelodeon's Legends of the Hidden Temple but it ended before you had the chance, we have got some very good news for you. The CW has ordered a "reimagined" version of the popular kids' game show, and while many classic elements of the show will remain (including the team names!), there are two very big things changing. The show is now set in an actual jungle, and it's for adults! Ok, the press release calls it a "jungle," in quotes, but at the very least, it's no longer set in a studio. However, this "jungle" will still feature things like the giant talking head named Olmec, the Steps of Knowledge, the Moat and the Temple...

“Legends of the Hidden Temple” is headed back to the small screen, but not in its original kid-friendly format. The Nickelodeon competition adventure series from the 1990s is all grown up in the revival ordered Tuesday by the CW.

The original Nickelodeon series that aired from 1993-1995 was inspired by Nintendo’s “The Legend of Zelda” game and the “Indiana Jones” movie franchise. The new iteration is described as a supersized and reimagined adult version, so participants are no longer kids, but nostalgia-loving millennials.

Per the logline, the “Legends of the Hidden Temple” remake, based on the game show created by David G. Stanley, Scott A. Stone and Stephen R. Brown, will preserve many of the Nickelodeon series’ iconic elements. These include “Olmec,” the giant talking Mayan head, the “Moat Crossings,” “The Steps of Knowledge,” the “Temple Run,” and all of the original team names like “Purple Parrots,” “Blue Barracudas,...

The CW is hunting for the Legends of the Hidden Temple after ordering a reboot of the classic Nickelodeon adventure format. This comes after the series was previously set to be rebooted by the short-lived short-form service Quibi.

The reboot will be produced by Stone & Company, which produced the original series that ran on Nickelodeon for three seasons between 1993-1995.

The adult version will preserve many of the original show including Olmec, the giant talking Mayan head, the Moat Crossings, The Steps of Knowledge and the Temple Run as well as the team names such as Purple Parrots, Blue Barracudas, Orange Iguanas, Red Jaguars, Silver Snakes and Green Monkeys.

However, this version will be taken out of the studio and scaled up with tougher challenges and bigger prizes as the contestants find their way through the “jungle.”

Olmec is finally ready to pick on somebody his own size. The iconic Nickelodeon game show Legends of the Hidden Temple, now featuring adults as contestants, is being revived at The CW.

In addition to the aforementioned giant stone head, this “reimagining” of the classic series will also bring back other fan-favorite elements, including the Moat Crossings, the Steps of Knowledge and the Temple Run. The team names — Purple Parrots, Blue Barracudas, Orange Iguanas, Red Jaguars, Silver Snakes and Green Monkeys — will also remain unchanged.

Now-dead platform ordered “reimagined” version of Nickelodeon game show in December 2019

All hail Olmec! The CW has picked up a reimagined, adult-sized revival of the ’90s Nickelodeon game show “Legends of the Hidden Temple,” which was first ordered at the now-dead Quibi in December 2019, the broadcast network revealed Tuesday.

The series never made it to air at Quibi, which launched in April 2020 and shut down six months later, and The CW took the opportunity presented by the quick-bite streaming service’s death to revive the revival, an individual with knowledge tells TheWrap.

Per The CW, “This supersized, adult version of ‘Legends of the Hidden Temple’ preserves many of the original Nickelodeon series’ favorite elements, including Olmec – the giant talking Mayan head – the Moat Crossings, The Steps of Knowledge, the Temple Run, and of course, the iconic team names: Purple Parrots, Blue Barracudas, Orange Iguanas, Red Jaguars, Silver Snakes and Green Monkeys.

The CW is bringing Olmec back to life.

The broadcaster has ordered a revival of Nickelodeon’s beloved 1990s game show Legends of the Hidden Temple. The new version will feature adult competitors but retain many of the elements of the original game.

“Legends of the Hidden Temple,” Nickelodeon’s classic adventure game show from the ’90s, is being revived at Quibi, Jeffrey Katzenberg’s upcoming mobile-only streaming service, the company shared on Monday morning.

The show, which was aimed at kid’s during its glory days, is now being revamped to appeal to adults. “Hidden Temple” will still preserve several of its trademark features from the original show, however, including the Moat Crossing, Olmec and the Temple Run.

Instead of being filmed at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida, Quibi is bringing the show to an undisclosed jungle location. The challenges and the prizes are both bigger this time around as well, according to Quibi.

Nickelodeon has found a new human companion for Blue, the animated canine who tries to lead kiddie viewers to pre-school literacy.

The Viacom kids-media unit intends to launch a new season of “Blue’s Clues,” which first debuted in 1996., with a new host and name. The revival, which will be called “Blue’s Clues & You,” and run on the Nick Jr. cable network aimed at pre-schoolers, stars Broadway actor Joshua Dela Cruz and will launch production this month in Toronto. The new season will consist of 20 episodes.

Dela Cruz is, in a way, picking up a baton. Original host Steve Burns helped producers search for the new host. “I had the great honor of being a part of the search for the new host, and I give Josh two thumbs up!” Burns said in a statement. “He can definitely fill my shoes, and the rugby shirt.”

All aboard the nostalgia train! Nickelodeon is bringing back the kids game show Double Dare. The original series is also Nick's longest-running one, from 1986 to 1993. It ushered in an era where physically-oriented game shows dominated the scene, from Guts to Legends of the Hidden Temple. Sadly, those all went by the wayside in the early 2000s, with only a few established TV series on broadcast, like American Ninja Warrior, occasionally running a "junior" event.

Watch out for those temple guards! Nickelodeon is about to bring back Legends of the Hidden Temple in the best way possible, and E! News has your first look at Kirk Fogg back in action.  Ok, the best way to bring Legends of the Hidden Temple back would be to make it a game show that adults were allowed to participate in, but this movie is probably the next best way.  Fogg, who hosted the game show for all three seasons (and 120 episodes) returns to play himself, the long-time tour guide of the hidden temple.
