Production
At San Diego Comic-Con 2015, John A. Davis revealed that he and Nickelodeon were in early development of a sequel to Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius when he was on the panel for the film Pokémon, saying "we're beginning to play around a bit with the idea." Talk was silent until, in early 2016, Nickelodeon Entertainment President Cyma Zarghami announced that the project was being greenlit and that O Entertainment was co-producing it. Tentatively titled "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius 2," How to Train your Dragon's Dean DeBlois was hired to write the screenplay along with Davis and Steve Oedekerk. With DNA Productions, which provided the animation for the original film and television series, having shut it's doors in 2006, the animation would now be done by Nickelodeon Movies. In 2017, DeBlois announced a new title for the film, simply Jimmy Neutron, and that it would be a reboot rather than a direct sequel, taking place later than the show. Later that year, Davis described it as "a 'getting the band back together' story" and gave it a release date of August 3rd, 2018.
