In a new interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Nickelodeon President and CEO Brian Robbins explained how the cartoon will be reimagined for the ViacomCBS streaming service. The upcoming series — which will have a 13-episode first season — is currently in production in Los Angeles and is slated to premiere on Paramount+ later this year.
“TheFairly OddParentsshow is a hybrid so that the fairies are animated and all the humans are live actors,” Robbins, 57, told the publication. “You can’t do it a hundred times but that’s it for right now.”

Timmy Turner’s cousin, Vivian “Viv” Turner (Audrey Grace Marshall), and her stepbrother, Roy Ragland (Tyler Wladis), will navigate their lives in Dimmsdale with their fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo, beside them.
Susanne Blakeslee and Daran Norris will continue to lend their voices to Wanda and Cosmo, respectively.Laura Bell Bundy, Ryan-James Hatanaka and Imogen Cohen are also in the cast.
