4Kids Entertainment, Inc. today announced a new setting for the fifth season of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series scheduled to premiere this fall on 4Kids TV.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Fast Forward catapults Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael ninety-nine (99) years into the future where they emerge from the sewers and no longer have to hide. The year is 2105, and the action heroes take on a whole new look as they face amazing adventures and square off against new foes in an exciting world of cutting-edge technology.

4Kids Entertainment will support the series with an extensive licensing and marketing campaign to launch in July 2006 with a new toy line, featuring a full spectrum of toys including action figures and role playing products from master toy licensee Playmates Toys.

uh oh...this sounds like the old series when it got switched to CBS. So is season 4 done? Or will they show some more episodes in the Springtime?

So, Loonatics with Turtles?

Yeah Raman I got the same vibes, I wonder if they will keep the animation the same or go with some cel shading type of stuff we have seen on those shorts recently

I dont know what to consider this, a reboot? or are they the same turtles continuing the same story just 99 years later?

Reboot? CGI baby

I suppose to be fair, between the old and the new series, they've done a zillion stories involving Shredder, the Foot, et al. Maybe they've also run out of comic stories to adapt?
