Cowabunga! The original 1987 animated series “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” is coming to Nickelodeon.

Ahead of the theatrical release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Nickelodeon has acquired global rights to the storied Fred Wolf series, which follows the adventures of the heroes in a half-shell — Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo.

Under the deal, all 193 episodes — which ran from 1987 to 1996 — are set to debut digitally on Nickelodeon-owned and operated channels (such as YouTube, Pluto TV and O&O linear channels) later this month in the U.S., followed by Nickelodeon-branded channels and digital platforms internationally.

The acquisition was announced Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con during Paramount Pictures’ Hall H presentation for Mutant Mayhem.

Per nickandmore tweet: "The '80s "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series joins Nicktoons' line-up starting next Monday, airing every night from midnight-1am ET. A marathon is also scheduled all night on Saturday."

"This will be the first time this TMNT series has aired on cable television (and the early seasons in general) since 1996 on USA Network. The series hasn't aired at all on TV since 1997 (where the last seasons were still repeating on CBS)."
