Say Farewell to Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 1 on Netflix
A popular animated superhero show's first season is set to leave Netflix next month. The series follows four mutated brothers who fight dangerous villains in New York City, drawing inspiration from iconic comic book characters. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 1 will no longer be available for streaming on Netflix starting June 1, 2026.
The characters in the show are based on the comic books created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Developed by Ant Ward and Andy Suriano for Nickelodeon, the series offers a fresh take on the beloved franchise rather than continuing previous adaptations. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles focuses on Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo as they use their mystical powers to combat enemies, introducing fantasy elements to the narrative. Alongside April O'Neil and their mentor Splinter, the brothers work together to protect New York City from various threats.
The voice cast of the show includes Ben Schwartz as Leonardo, Brandon Mychal Smith as Michelangelo, Omar Benson Miller as Raphael, Josh Brener as Donatello, Eric Bauza as Splinter, and Kat Graham as April O'Neil. The first season of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premiered on Nickelodeon in July 2018, comprising 26 episodes that are currently available on Netflix. Although the series did not continue with a third season, it received positive feedback from audiences, holding an 86% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Following the show, a feature film titled Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie was released. The movie premiered globally on Netflix in August 2022 and had a theatrical release in China. While the series may be leaving Netflix soon, fans can still enjoy the adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles through the available episodes on the platform.
