At this point, we’re nostalgic for nostalgia (don’t worry, we’re already @ing ourselves for you). Between the Kim Possible live-action movie, our fave former Disney star Zendaya potentially playing Ariel and the Rugrats revival, we can’t tell what we’re most excited about, and tbh, we wouldn’t have it any other way. However, your cartoon-loving adult selves are about to get a nostalgia overload because Nickelodeon is launching a streaming channel with your favorite old school series.
That’s right: You can watch Doug, Kenan and Kel and more on Nickelodeon’s new streaming channel—because, well, every iconic company is rolling out its exclusive streaming platform, channel or teaser. According to The Wrap, Nickelodeon is launching its streaming channel NickSplat, and it’s packing it with more than 30 binge-worthy classic shows.
You might not be ready to break up with your Netflix subscription to afford to rewatch the best episodes of CatDog (and we don’t blame you, because Sierra Burgess is a Loser is about to drop on Netflix and you don’t want to miss Noah part deuce). However, you might not have to have to rework your monthly budget to get NickSplat on VRV.

Deadline notes that NickSplat will cost $5.99 per month, and Nickelodeon is promoting the new addition to the cartoon conglomerate in the most childish way possible (literally). To amp up our already high expectations, Deadline adds that the company is going on a “childhooding” tour around the country to give you some cartoons and cereal.
Nickelodeon has a series of events, which will start in Santa Monica on September 7, to amplify everything 90’s and NickSplat. Honestly, we’re ready to follow the NickSplat tour around the country.
Viacom Executive VP Distribution and Business Development Partnerships Sam Cooper tells The Hollywood Reporter, "VRV, with a sophisticated user base that loves the best in animation, is the perfect platform to launch our NickSplat channel. Viacom's content—including our deep library of genre-defining television—is highly in demand, and our audiences are always looking for new and innovative ways to enjoy our programming. We're committed to finding the best partners to bring our individual brands direct to the consumer, and this relationship with VRV is an exciting step forward in our strategy."
