Hey Arnold!, the animated series focused on the titular 4th grader who attends P.S. 118 school, ran on Nickelodeon from 1996 to 2004 and spawned two films, 2002’s Hey Arnold!: The Movie and 2017’s made for television feature Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie.
The tour comes as talks about a Hey Arnold! revival are happening, according to remarks made by the show’s producer and writer Joe Purdy at MultiCon 2026 during an early August interview with The Direct. Purdy said talks are “absolutely” happening with decision-makers at Nickelodeon’s owner Paramount.
