Streaming giant Netflix has entered into a deal with Nickelodeon’s parent company Viacom to bring it back to Netflix after years of not being on the platform.

It’s likely not a surprise that this news has come with the debut of Disney +. Netflix has been losing some of it’s best programming to other streamers in recent months. With the deal, Netflix will join in with producing new content based on existing properties as well as creating some new ones. I would assume this means some of Nickelodeon’s classic cartoons like ‘Rugrats’, ‘Doug’, ‘Rocko’s Modern Life’, and others will find a home on Netflix as well.
