Paramount‘s 2028 slate will include four pizza-loving turtles and a hedgehog.
The studio announced Monday that the untitled hybrid live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles feature from producer Neal H. Moritz will hit theaters Nov. 17, 2028. Additionally, an untitled film in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is set for theatrical release on Dec. 22, 2028.
The Hollywood Reporter reported last month that a TMNT feature franchise reboot was in the works as the Skydance-owned studio was aiming to revitalize some of its popular IP. The poor performance of 2016’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows previously put the brakes on development for live-action versions of the property that began as a comic book in the 1980s before spawning a popular animated series and toy line.
Paramount is set to release director Jeff Rowe’s sequel to its well-received animated feature Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem on Sept. 17, 2027. Counting Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg as producers, the franchise’s first film hit theaters in 2023.
Plot details have not yet been revealed for the new project from the Sonic universe that hails from Original Film and SEGA Sammy Group. The successful movie franchise that adapts the video game property was most recently seen on the big screen with last year’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which featured Ben Schwartz voicing the title character and Jim Carrey in a dual role.
Paramount also announced that its 1986 action classic Top Gun will return to theaters May 13, 2026. Director Tony Scott’s Tom Cruise-led aviation feature spawned a sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, that was a massive hit when it was released in 2022, and a third film has been in the works.
