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.

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!
