The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder is available now on Paramount+ and features the return of Cosmo and Wanda from the original Nickelodeon animated series as well as a cast of new live-action characters. Christopher J. Nolan, the show’s runner and executive producer, is no stranger to Nickelodeon, having previously worked on the network’s Henry Danger and its spinoff, Danger Force. Butch Hartman, the show’s original creator, and Fred Seibert, the show’s original executive producer, are both serving in similar capacities for the new series.
Teenager Viv Turner and her new, popular stepbrother Roy are the focus of the sequel The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder. When Viv’s dad “reconnects with his high school love, marries her on a whim, leaves his job, sells their house in Oldsburg, and goes to Dimmsdale,” it brings the two families together abruptly. To help them adjust to their new lives, Viv and Roy are assigned fairy godparents, and most episodes focus on them attempting to escape the mayhem they’ve created via their own wishes, just like in the original animated series.
The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder introduces an entire cast of crazy and odd characters in an attempt to match the frenzied speed and absurdity of its predecessor, but Timmy Turner only receives the live-action treatment long enough to hand off his fairies to the next generation. Fans of the original series need not worry; Vicky, the villainous babysitter, and other beloved characters from the original series make surprising returns in the revival.
