Timmy Turner and his Fairy Godparents are back in a new live-action sequel series. The Fairly Odd Parents: Pretty odd will accompany Cosmo and Wanda as they sponsor Timmy’s cousin. The first trailer already contains many callbacks to the original animated series. The series is slated to premiere March 31 on Paramount Plus.
The trailer gives us our first look at the now much older Timmy Turner (Caleb Pierce) who appears to be visiting his uncle and saying hello to his cousin Viv (Audrey Grace Marshall). Timmy quickly reveals Cosmo and Wanda to his cousin and hands them over to Viv to take care of her and her new stepbrother (Tyler Wladis). The fairies appear, referencing the original theme song, and immediately help the children create magical chaos.
This isn’t the first time Cosmo, Wanda and Timmy have found their way into live action. During the original show, there were three live-action movies that starred Drake Bell as Timmy and brought the fairies into the real world as weird CGI creations. Thankfully, the new series brings the fairies in a style that’s a bit closer to the original cartoon, but it still won’t quite be what ’90s kids remember. It also seems like those older movies are probably not canon for the series, in case that was an issue.
Along with the live-action cast, Pretty weird will also bring back voice actors Daran Norris as Cosmo and Susanne Blakeslee as Wanda, both from the original series.
