Seth Rogen’s upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie has an official title and a new release date. The CG-animated movie will be titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and will be released one year from today on August 4, 2023.
The film’s new release date comes a week earlier than the one Rogen announced last summer. There is also a new logo for the movie featuring artwork that seems to adopt its comic book roots.

Rogen, who is producing, has said in the past that the movie will embrace the “teenage” aspect of the film’s leads. The movie, which was first announced in 2020, is being produced by Point Grey Pictures, Rogen’s production company alongside Nickelodeon Animation Studio. Paramount Pictures will distribute.
The movie will be the first in new media covering the TMNT universe. Nickelodeon expects to follow Mutant Mayhem up with a series of movies following the villains of the TMNT franchise, though Nickelodeon establishes that these spinoffs aren’t related to Rogen’s reboot and are meant to be part of a bigger plan for The Turtles.
