'Rugrats' For Revival With Other Nickelodeon's All-Time Favorite Shows? Will Fans Get To See Tommy, Chuckie & Angelica?

"Rugrats" might just get a revival with other Nickelodeon's all-time favorite kid's shows. Owned by Viacom Media, Nick is reportedly looking into the idea of bringing back some of their classics, which made the cable network popular in the 90s.
The company hopes to rekindle the magic that came with those shows, captivating many audiences, including "Rugrats," "Hey Arnold!" "The Adventures of Pete & Pete," "The Ren & Stimpy Show" and "Doug."
"We are looking at our library to bring back ideas, shows that were loved, in a fresh new way," Nickelodeon's President of Content and Development, Russell Hicks, revealed to Variety.
The network stated that the shows may not come back as a series, and may appear in a different format. According to Slash Film, revival doesn't really mean it should be in the form of series because it can be delivered as a movie or special.
"We are getting ready to bring back some of the ones they've told us multiple times they want to have brought back," he added.
There is a handful of classics on Nickelodeon's vault for revival, that's true. However, MTV reported of seemingly placing a safe bet on "Rugrats."
In 1998, the show debuted its first film, "The Rugrats Movie." The story centers on the self-proclaimed leader, Tommy Pickles and his adventure with Lil and Phil following the birth of his new brother.
"Rugrats in Paris: The Movie" followed two years after. This time, the film focuses on Chuckie Finster's quest for a new mother.
The third film, "Rugrats Go Wild," hit the theaters in 2003. The movie was a crossover between "Rugrats" and "The Wild Thornberrys."
Many are now curious if they get to see Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, the rest of the Pickles and Finsters if the reboot happens, and that is yet to be confirmed.
Hicks declined to provide the specific details for the shows that were being considered. The wholesale return of the shows are not to be expected because these programs are just small parts of the development effort of the company.
