Rocko’s Modern Life TV Movie Greenlit at Nickelodeon

8/11/16

One of Nickelodeon’s most modern characters is getting, well, even more modern. EW has learned exclusively that Nickelodeon has greenlit a TV movie of "Rocko’s Modern Life", the classic ‘90s animated Nicktoon created by Joe Murray.

The one-hour TV special will bring back all of the beloved characters in Rocko’s fictional city of O-Town. Murray will return as executive producer and co-director of the film, which will be produced out of Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank.

“I’m very happy to be rejoining Rocko and my friends from O-Town again,” Murray said in a statement.

“What I have found by bringing these characters back is that it’s not so much about nostalgia, but a sense that they still feel relevant and fresh to me, and after 20 years, they can’t wait to comment on modern life in the 21st century. They still have a lot to say.”

“Greenlighting a Rocko’s Modern Life special is another strong example of how we are bringing our library content back for both new audiences and the generation that grew up on them in the ’90s,” said Chris Viscardi of Nickelodeon Franchise Properties.

“It’s a testament to the strength and appeal of these characters that so many people have loved Nick animation for these last 25 years, and we are excited to bring them back for new stories and adventures.”

No title, casting, or release date has been set yet for the Rocko’s Modern Life TV movie.

I wonder if Nickelodeon will bring Carlos Alazaraqui back to provide Rocko's voice for this Rocko's Modern Life TV movie? I saw Rocko's Modern Life quite a few times when it aired and it was awesome. If this TV movie does well I think Nickelodeon is gonna make a new Rocko's Modern Life cartoon series in the future

I hope they do too Bestie. I want it as close to the original as possible, except with better drawing.
