Comedy Central announced today that it has green-lit a “reimagination†of the beloved ‘90s cartoon The Ren & Stimpy Show. “I want to thank our partners at Nick Animation as we re-imagine these iconic characters with a new creative team,†said Nina L. Diaz, chief creative officer of ViacomCBS’s Entertainment & Youth Group. The statement makes no mention of who will be part of this “new†creative team, nor does it mention Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi or “John K.,†who faced allegations of misconduct with underage girls after an investigative story from BuzzFeed News in 2018, in which he admits to having had a teenage “girlfriend.†Chris McCarthy, president of ViacomCBS Entertainment & Youth Group adds, “Ren & Stimpy joins our rapidly expanding roster of adult animation including South Park, Beavis and Butt-Head and Clone High,†the latter two of which have reboots in the works. Until there’s more info on the reboot, fans will just be waiting for it like this:
