Paramount+ Removes Slew of Nickelodeon Shows, Including 'Rugrats (2021)', 'Big Nate' and 'It's Pony'

Paramount+ has today (March 28) removed another 10 Nickelodeon shows from its programming library, including two Paramount+ Original series produced by Nickelodeon Animation for the streaming service.

'Rugrats (2021)', 'That Girl Lay Lay' and 'Big Nate'

The series removed today are:

  • Are You Afraid of the Dark? (2019)
  • Big Nate*
  • Blue's Clues & You!
  • It's Pony
  • Middlemost Post
  • Ollie's Pack
  • Rugrats (2021)*
  • Ryan's Mystery Playdate
  • Santiago of the Seas
  • That Girl Lay Lay

In addition, each show has had their official pages on nick.com and nickjr.com removed as well.

The removal of Rugrats (2021) and Big Nate pages is particularly surprising. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, both shows are currently in their second seasons, and are thought to still be in active production, with plans for a third season of Rugrats (2021), a reboot of Nickelodeon's beloved '90s series of the same name. Up until recently, new episodes of both shows originally premiered on the Paramount+ streaming service, before making their linear TV premieres on Nickelodeon a few months later. However, earlier this year, linear premieres for both series moved to Nicktoons, with Nicktoons airing new episodes of Rugrats (2021) still to be released on Paramount+.

Thankfully, physical media for both Rugrats (2021) exists, with season one being released on DVD in two parts:


The news follows Paramount+ removing several shows and seasons on March 1: Back at the Barnyard (seasons 1-2), How to Rock (season 1), Knight Squad (season 1-2), Make It Pop (season 1-2), Planet Sheen (season 1), Sam & Cat (season 1), and Supah Ninjas (season 1-2). A number of Nickelodeon productions were also removed on January 1 as well as in June last year.

Kenan Thompson Says ‘My Heart Goes Out’ to Fellow Nickelodeon Stars Featured in ‘Quiet on Set’ Documentary: ‘They’ve Gone Through Terrible Things’

Kenan Thompson has opened up about his time as a child star at Nickelodeon and the new perspective he has gained on it following the release of Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, a new documentary series that features allegations of abuse against crew members at the network.

Thompson’s comments came Wednesday, March 27 during an interview on the daytime talk show Tamron Hall, touching on his new production banner AFA, the success of Good Burger 2, his record-breaking tenure on Saturday Night Live and his new memoir When I Was Your Age, and his support for Amanda Bynes.


Thompson got started as a child performer, though, serving as an original cast member of the teenage-cast sketch show All That and starring alongside his peer Kel Mitchell in the sitcom Kenan & Kel and the feature film Good Burger, all of which were produced by Nickelodeon. During the interview with Hall, Thompson confirmed that he has not watched Quiet on Set, which features allegations of abuse against All That producer and Good Burger writer Dan Schneider, who produced and created several Nickelodeon sitcoms.

“It’s a tough subject. It’s tough for me because I can’t really speak on things that I never witnessed. All these things happened after I left, basically. Dan [Schneider] wasn’t really on Kenan & Kel like that. He got a ‘Created by’ credit, but it was a different showrunner,” Thompson shared. “All that negativity kind of started happening outside of our tenure [at Nickelodeon]. I wasn’t really aware of a lot of it, but my heart goes out to anyone that’s been victimized, or their families.”

“It’s a good thing that the doc is out and it’s putting things on display that need to be, stories that need to be told for accountability’s sake. But it’s definitely tough to watch because I have fond memories of that place,” Thompson continued. “I have fond memories of my co-stars. To hear that they’ve gone through terrible things like that, it’s really tough.”

When Hall continued by saying that the talk show had reached out to Nickelodeon and that the network stated it was conducting investigations into all allegations, Thompson interrupted: “Well, investigate more. It’s supposed to be a safe space. It’s supposed to be a safe place for kids. So to hear all that is like, ‘How dare you.'”

Investigation Discovery’s Quiet on Set details the alleged on-set treatment of child actors, primarily at Nickelodeon shows in the ’90s and early ’00s. The series recently announced a fifth episode, which will feature interviews with The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh star Drake Bell, All That cast members Giovonnie Samuels and Bryan Hearne, Hearne’s mother, Tracey Brown, as well as new interviewee, All That cast member Shane Lyons “to discuss where the industry can go from here.” Titled “Breaking the Silence”, the new episode will air Sunday, April 7 at 8/7c on Investigation Discovery (and stream on Max).
