The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been a beloved part of pop culture since their debut in 1984. The animated series and movies that followed have kept fans hooked for over 30 years.
With the reboot of the TMNT franchise in recent years, many people are wondering if they can watch the original show on Netflix. Unfortunately, the answer is no.
The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series aired from 1987-1996 and was produced by Murakami-Wolf-Swenson Film Productions and distributed by Group W Productions and Paramount Television. After its run ended, it was rerun in syndication until 2004. Since then, the show has been distributed by 4Kids Entertainment and ViacomCBS through various streaming services including Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, iTunes, and YouTube.
Netflix does not currently have the rights to stream any of the episodes from the classic TMNT series. The closest thing Netflix currently has is “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” a CG-animated reboot of the franchise that debuted in 2018. It follows four teenage brothers as they train to become ninja warriors and fight crime in New York City.
For those wanting to revisit their childhood with classic TMNT episodes, there are still options available. In addition to the previously mentioned streaming services, fans can purchase individual episodes or entire seasons on DVD or Blu-ray from retailers such as Amazon or Best Buy.
Conclusion:
Unfortunately, Netflix does not currently have any episodes from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series available for streaming. However, fans can still watch classic TMNT episodes via other streaming services or purchase them on DVD or Blu-ray.
