Production[]
Producer Butch Hartman originally created The Fairly OddParents! in 2001, which spawned 10 seasons and 172 episodes. The series was announced in February 2021 that Paramount+ was developing a live-action reboot for the 2001 animated series, with Butch Hartman and Fred Seibert returning as producers, and Christopher J. Nowak serving as both executive producer and showrunner.[5][6] Production later began on July 12, 2021 in Los Angeles, California with the working title, The Fairly OddParents!. Also on July 12, 2021, the synopsis was released saying: "The series is actually meant to be a sequel, taking place years after the original series, with Timmy's young cousin and her stepbrother inheriting Cosmo and Wanda." Season 1 was announced to have 13 episodes, with Mike Caron to direct and a debut slated for later this year on Paramount+.[7]
Filming[]
Filming started July 12, 2021 at Burbank Studios in Burbank, California and in Los Angeles, California and according to Audrey Grace Marshall's Instagram post[8], filming wrapped on November 4, 2021.
Trivia[]
- The series premiered 21 years and one day after the original series made its U.S. debut on Nickelodeon.
- This is the fourth piece of Fairly OddParents media to be in live-action, the last being A Fairly Odd Summer 8 years prior.
- This is the first piece of Fairly OddParents media to ever use a laugh track.
- Daran Norris (as Cosmo, Jorgen Von Strangle), Susanne Blakeslee (as Wanda) and Carlos Alazraqui as (Mr. Crocker) are the only voice actors to reprise their roles from the original series.
- This is the first Butch Hartman-related media where Guy Moon is not the composer.
- The season was filmed in Los Angeles, CA, from July 12 to November 4, 2021.
- On November 8, 2021, just 4 days after filming wrapped, showrunner Christopher J. Nowak announced that the season would be released in March 2022.
- The first episode premiered on Nickelodeon on April 21, 2022, as a presentation.
- Audrey Grace Marshall teased at a potential second season.[8]
- In an interview, Susanne Blakeslee revealed that Fairly Odder was a complete surprise to her and when she first read about the show, before coming back, when it was in pre-development, she thought, "Good luck to those people."
- In an interview, Ryan-James Hatanaka explained that people could expect the series to be fun, wild, wack, zainy and full of heart.[9]
- In an interview, Laura Bell Bundy stated that the audience will be surprised because of the wish fulfillment element saying, "Anything can happen, anything can go wrong."[9]
- In an interview, Garrett Clayton mentions how Fairly Odder pays a huge homage to the original series, respecting many of its elements.[9]
- On January 30, 2023, the show was removed from Paramount+ due to its sister service Showtime's content migration, resulting in a small removal of short-lived originals. This decision could also have been influenced by the negative reception from the show's viewers.
- It was also removed from Nickelodeon's website with the same reasons as all episodes were no longer viewable to watch.
- The series was awarded "Favorite Kids TV Show" at the 2023 Nickelodeon 2023 Kids' Choice Awards (KCA).
- The series no longer seems to be canon to the overall FOP universe (or it remains in its own universe like the live-action movies), as none of its characters or events are mentioned in A New Wish. This is also evident by how Cosmo and Wanda tell Hazel Wells that their last godchild was Timmy, rather than being Viv and Roy.
