Thirty years after its 1991 debut our favorite toddlers are back with the revival of the Rugrats! Nickelodeon just announced its cast for the iconic grown-up roles of the show. These actors will be joining the original cast of the show’s toddlers who will be reprising their roles. Rugrats is a Paramount+ series produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios, and is said to premiere this spring on the streaming service.
The new voices that were added to the cast are: Ashley Rae Spillers (Vice Principals) and Tommy Dewey (The Mindy Project), as Tommy’s parents; Tony Hale (Arrested Development), as Chuckie’s father; Natalie Morales (Dead to Me), as Phil and Lil’s mother; Anna Chlumsky (Veep) and Timothy Simons (Veep), as Angelica’s parents; Nicole Byer (Nailed It!) and Omar Miller (Ballers), as Susie’s parents; and Michael McKean (Better Call Saul), as Grandpa Lou Pickles.

“The all-new Rugrats is packed with comedy, music and adventures that only babies can embark upon, and the role of the grown-ups is an essential piece of the series,” stated Ramsey Naito, President of Nickelodeon Animation.
Rugrats will be based on the 1991 series, and will follow a group of toddlers as they explore the world through their perspective. They are adventurous, courageous, and everything looks bigger and more mysterious through their eyes. These adventures will take place as we see them face things they do not understand.
