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 fairy godparents Cosmo (Daran Norris) and Wanda (Susanne Blakeslee).
Fairly OddParents: A New Wish is produced by Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank, CA. The series is co-executive produced by David Stone (Teen Titans Go!), Lindsay Katai (Infinity Train), Ashleigh Crystal Hairston (Tiny Toons Looniversity) and Daniel Abramovici (The Peanuts Movie).

If you don’t remember the original series, created by Butch Harmon, ran from 2001-2017 and was one of the most beloved animated series’ on the Nickelodeon network. Per IMDb.com, the original series followed the adventures of Timmy Turner, Wanda, and Cosmo when he gave up being tortured and humiliated by his babysitter and was put under the care of two fairy godparents, who can grant him almost any wish, which leads to dire consequences.
We cannot wait to see just what kind of mischief ensures this time around!
