According to a new report, the tie-in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem animated series will arrive on Paramount+ in Q3 2024, meaning the continuation from the critically-acclaimed series will arrive sometime between July-September.
The Jeff Rowe directed pic was released in North American theaters on August 2, 2023, and grossed $180.5 million worldwide from a production budget of $70 million. The film earned $118.6 million in North America while top international territories included the United Kingdom ($12.85 M), Australia ($7.1 M), and France ($4.9 M).
Mutant Mayhem achieved a 96% approval rating on the Rotten Tomatoes review aggregate website, with an average rating of 7.6 out of 10. However, that didn't necessarily translate into a huge box office windfall for the film. Mutant Mayhem was unfortunately caught up in the Barbie hurricane, as the Margot Robbie film was still dominating the box office well after its July 21 release.
Still, Paramount is moving forward with ambitious plans for the Mutant Mayhem franchise with a tie-in animated series set to bridge the gap between the first film and its sequel.
