Fans of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius may have reason to get excited! According to writer Adam Pava, a sequel to Nickelodeon’s beloved 2001 animated film is currently in development. Pava, known for his work on Glenn Martin, DDS and The Boxtrolls, listed the project on his LinkedIn page, stating that he has been working on the script for Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius 2 since December 2023. The news was first brought to public attention by X/Twitter user @Minions_Fanboy.
Revisiting the Jimmy Neutron Legacy
Created by John A. Davis, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius premiered in theaters on December 21, 2001. Produced by Nickelodeon Movies, O Entertainment, DNA Productions, and Paramount Pictures, the film introduced audiences to the brainy but accident-prone young inventor Jimmy Neutron. Voiced by Debi Derryberry, Jimmy often found himself in over-the-top adventures due to his ambitious yet unpredictable scientific creations.
The success of the film led to the Nickelodeon spin-off series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, which ran from 2002 to 2006 with 63 episodes over three seasons. The franchise also expanded with the Jimmy-Timmy Power Hour crossover specials with The Fairly OddParents, a spin-off series Planet Sheen, and a theme park attraction, Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon Blast, at Universal Studios Florida.
Is Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius 2 Officially Confirmed?
While Pava’s listing suggests that a sequel has been in the works, there has been no official confirmation from Nickelodeon or Paramount Animation regarding the project’s current status. Since December 2023, Paramount has undergone internal changes, raising questions about whether the sequel is still in active development. Until an official announcement is made, fans should keep their expectations in check.
For now, Jimmy Neutron remains a cherished part of Nickelodeon’s history, and whether the boy genius returns to the big screen remains to be seen. Keep checking Trevor Decker News for updates on this developing story!
