## Development

On April 30th, 2022, it was announced that a 3D animated series based on *Nickelodeon's Mitchell Van Morgan* series was in development by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, Inc. and Paramount Animation. However, the announcement was quickly withdrawn by its source.

On February 1st 2021, a press release was revealed that unveiled that *Mitchell Prime* will be animated at Paramount Animation's studio in Los Angeles, California (USA). Nickelodeon and Paramount will jointly participate across production, distribution and licensing while Micah Ian Wright and Viacom Networks Japan Co., Ltd. will act as showrunners and Executive Producers for the series. *Mitchell Prime* is expected to have 24 episodes and will be released sometime in 2022 on Paramount+. Over the course of March 2021, Micah Ian Wright Productions Inc. (*The Angry Beavers* and *Constant Payne*), Madhouse Inc.

On the franchise's anniversary on February 25th, 2022, Paramount Media Networks revealed in a Q&A that they did not expect to get any direct financial gains from *Mitchell Prime*. Instead, it will be used to bring attention to the *Mitchell Van Morgan* property and its multifaceted rollout, “strengthening” it. There are similarly no plans about making the series into a video game, like *Mitchell X*.

On May 27th, 2021, during the *Mitchell Van Morgan Central* presentation, Jack Halm give a brief synopsis of the upcoming show: "Mitchell will be thrusted into a high-speed adventure, through the strange and mysterious Shatterverse. It's up to Mitchell to save the universe and along the way experience moments of self-discovery and redemption." He later stated there will be more information on a later date, one of them the explanation of the new Marquessa Empire logo behind him. Later, on 23 June 2021, concept artwork related to *Mitchell Prime* was revealed on the portfolio of Patrick Horan, one of the designers for the series. However, the site was removed soon after it was noticed. It was later revealed by Duncan Rouleau that Jay Lender was hired as a consultant for the show.

## Synopsis

*Mitchell Prime* is described as a "high octane adventure" following Mitchell and his race to save a "strange new multiverse". The show is also described as a "journey of self-discovery and redemption." Accordingly, the show takes place in the same settings seen in *Mitchell Van Morgan*, *Constant Payne*, *Mitchell X*, *Mitchell Van Morgan 11 (trilogy)*, *Mitchell Van Morgan 12*, *Mitchell Forces*, *Mitchell Frontiers* and it will also feature the series' main protagonist, Mitchell himself.
