“A new world brings big adventures, as Cosmo and Wanda return in Nickelodeon’s original animated series, Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, coming this spring to Nickelodeon in the U.S. A reimagining of the Emmy Award-winning series The Fairly OddParents, this series extends the fairy universe to a modern generation while still honoring the humor and creativity loyal fans grew up watching. The 20-episode series follows beloved characters Cosmo and Wanda as they meet their latest spunky godchild, Hazel Wells. Together, the trio embarks on unimaginable adventures through Dimmadelphia, where anything is possible with a little bit of magic.

Fairly OddParents: A New Wish stars Ashleigh Crystal Hairston (Tiny Toons Looniversity, Craig of the Creek) as the voice of Hazel, an adventurous 10-year-old with unique interests and an even wilder imagination. Susanne Blakeslee (The Loud House, Amphibia) as the voice of Wanda and Daran Norris (The Loud House, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder) the voice of Cosmo reprise their roles as the lovable, recently retired fairy couple ready to take on any challenge. Despite hanging up their crowns after a 10,000-year vacation across space and time, Cosmo and Wanda are out of retirement and back to listening to their magical instincts…no matter how rusty they might be!
In Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, ten-year-old Hazel Wells has just moved to the big city of Dimmadelphia because of her dad’s new job. On top of being in an unfamiliar environment, it’s the first time she’s been without her brother, Antony, who’s just left for college, leaving her lonely and unsure of herself. All that changes when the pink-and-green-haired neighbors next door reveal that they are no ordinary neighbors…they’re Cosmo and Wanda, fairy godparents! And they’re coming out of retirement to make all of Hazel’s wishes come true.
