Viacom International Media Network Americas Opens New Headquarters in Downtown Miami ---ScRaBBlE

Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) The Americas today, Wednesday 20th February 2019, opened its brand-new headquarters in downtown Miami, Florida!

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Executive Director Alyce Robertson, VIMN Americas president Pierluigi Gazzolo and VIMN Americas Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Juan Acosta were present at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to inaugurate the media company's new global headquarters at 3 MiamiCentral, 161 N.W. 6th St.

After being located more than 20 years in Miami Beach, Acosta said VIMN Americas was ready for a change.

"We realized Miami Beach is old news, and now people are setting their sights on downtown," Acosta told the South Florida Business Journal. "Brightline also attracted our interest because its changing the game for commuters. Our employees are based all over the city and as a transportation hub, downtown Miami was better able to service their needs."

VIMN Americas currently has about 120 employees from Latin America, Spain, the Caribbean and Miami.

At the ribbon cutting, Suarez said VIMN's presence in downtown Miami will stimulate the local economy and create more career opportunities for South Florida residents.

"Miami is transitioning from being a Latin American gateway to a truly global city," Suarez said. "Having a company like Viacom as an anchor tenant of 3 MiamiCentral demonstrates that downtown Miami is becoming a center for international business."

The 25,000-square-foot space will serve as the base of operations for the company's portfolio of popular entertainment brands, including Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and MTV. VIMN Americas will focus on programming for audiences in Latin America, Canada and the U.S. Hispanic market.

The space is intended to celebrate Miami and its diversity of Latin American cultures, featuring touches such as a game room with dominoes-themed wallpaper, a "Vinyl Bar" that includes turntables and records, a new mothers room, and multiple lounge and meeting areas.

The VIMN Americas headquarters is located only a few blocks away from the company's recently opened Viacom International Studios (VIS), an 88,000-square-foot production facility.

Robertson said the organization is focusing on recruiting media, financial and tech companies to downtown Miami. The DDA reports there's been a small uptick in the number of media and entertainment companies occupying office space in the city's urban core, with those firms accounting for 6 percent of all new-to-market leases signed between 2013 and the first quarter of 2018.

VIMN Americas isn't the first company to swap Miami Beach for downtown Miami. In November 2018, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf) moved its global headquarters to 3 MiamiCentral, also citing the benefits of Brightline and the area's public transportation connections as a factor that led to the change.

International Broadcasters, Including VIMN Start Moving Broadcast Licences Away From The UK ---ScRaBBlE

Originally published: Thursday, April 26, 2018

Update (22/2/2019): It seems that Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) and MTV Networks are preparing for a no deal Brexit, which has become much more of a possibility over the last month thanks to the UK's incompetent leaders on all sides of the political spectrum (I'm looking at you, May and Corbyn).

The Czech Radio Regulator RRTV (Radio and Television Broadcasting Council) has granted MTV Networks satellite licenses for the continued distribution of Nickelodeon UK, Nick Jr. UK, Nick Jr. Too (UK), Nicktoons UK, Comedy Central UK, Comedy Central + 1 (UK), Comedy Central Extra (UK), MTV UK in Ireland, which will remain a member of the European Union (EU). The licenses are valid for 12 years.

At the same time, the Council informs the EU Member State, Ireland that MTV Networks with its Czech license can be broadcast in its territory.

Additionally, RRTV has granted MTV Networks a satellite licence for its MTV Music 24 channel, which will be broadcast in the following countries: Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, South Africa. The license is for a music television channel aimed at young people focusing on American and international productions. MTV Music 24 will be broadcast 24 hours a day in English. The license is valid for 12 years.

At the same time, RRTV informs the EU Member States (European Union), ie Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, that MTV Music 24 has a Czech License.

The MTV Networks broadcaster has registered MTV Networks as a satellite broadcaster in Ireland, Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Micronesia, Mongolia, Montenegro, Myanmar, the Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Samoa, Serbia, Singapore , Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Turkey, Ukraine and United Arab Emirates, where MTV Base, MTV Music, MTV Music, MTV ROCKS, MTV OMG, VH1, MTV Live HD broadcast.

Original post:

Anticipating Brexit, broadcasters, including Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN), 21st Century Fox, and Viceland have started moving their broadcast licences from the UK.


Seeking an alternative, Viacom International Media Networks has obtained licences in The Netherlands for its bouquet of channels aimed at France audiences: Nickelodeon (France), Nickelodeon Junior (France), Nickelodeon Teen (France), MTV (France), MTV Hits (France), BET (France), and Paramount Channel (France). Also, a number of VIMN channels for Denmark now operate under a Dutch licence.

21st Century Fox has also decided to license National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo Wild in Spain, as well as the Dutch language versions of Fox and National Geographic Channel intended for Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. Viceland is now using a Dutch licence for its Dutch and Belgian (Dutch language) channels.

At the moment, more than 750 channels based in Britain and licenced by media regulator Ofcom can currently broadcast throughout the European Union without restriction because Britain is part of the EU’s single market, but this is all set to change after Brexit.

A number of other channel providers with bases in Britain are expected to follow suit, including Discovery, Disney, the Modern Times Group, and Turner Broadcasting.

How Brian Robbins and Team Are Building Nickelodeon's Future ---ScRaBBlE

Nickelodeon's new slate of programming includes reboots of favorites and content for today’s tech-savvy kids.


When Nickelodeon President Brian Robbins took the stage at the Viacom’s Spark panel for employees, one of the things he wanted to make perfectly clear is that the newly-installed leadership team is not comprised of executives—they’re creatives, just like the staffers who make the brand’s shows.

“I wanted to identify makers,” said Robbins. Since taking the helm at Nickelodeon last October, he has selected Shauna Phelan to be head of live-action scripted shows, Ramsey Naito to be head of animation production and development, Rob Bagshaw to be head of unscripted content, and Paul DeBenedittis to be head of programming and content strategy. “I knew if we could build a team like that, we could win. There’s a big difference between talking about making things and knowing how to.”

Robbins has been tasked with revitalizing the network’s programming and bringing content to a generation of viewers accustomed to watching it on various devices. To achieve that, Robbins introduced his leadership team—all of whom have either worked full-time at Nickelodeon previously or on its projects—and he unveiled a strategy that includes a commitment to diversity and programming that’s conducive to family viewing and gives kids the ability to watch on a range of platforms and devices.

"We’ve all been talking about taking risks and not getting bogged down in bureaucracy. That is inspiring to the creative process." - Ramsey Naito, EVP of Animation Production and Development at Nickelodeon

During the panel presentation, he and Naito also spoke of their dedication to airing animated shorts from Nickelodeon’s library and new artists as a way to quickly get fresh content on-air and attract top talent looking to make their mark.

“We’ve all been talking about taking risks and not getting bogged down in bureaucracy,” says Naito. “That is inspiring to the creative process.”

Another change Robbins made is creating an unscripted department, which the kids’ channel hasn’t previously had.

Hours before the panel, Nickelodeon made major programming announcements. Among them is a reboot of All That, of which original cast members Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell (Kenan & Kel, Good Burger) will serve executive producers; The Casagrandes, an animated spinoff of The Loud House, and an untitled scripted music series set in a boarding school for the performing arts, which will feature original songs performed in every episode. It’s being produced by Simon Fuller (the producer behind American Idol) and One Republic frontman, Ryan Tedder.

“Music is such a big part of kids’ lives, we have to be in the music space,” Robbins says. “Out of it might come a boy band or a K-pop group. It’s a way for us to have our own incubator for musical talent but at the core is a great musical show.”

Robbins suggested they could skip signing with a record label and instead upload songs direct to Apple Music or Spotify. They’d share the rights with Fuller and Tedder.

"Music is such a big part of kids’ lives, we have to be in the music space. It’s a way for us to have our own incubator for musical talent but at the core is a great musical show." - Brian Robbins, President of Nickelodeon Group


Ryan’s Mystery Playdate

Also on the slate is Ryan’s Mystery Playdate, starring the 7-year-old YouTube sensation known for unboxing toys for his audience of 22 million subscribers. Unlike his YouTube videos, the Nickelodeon version has him unboxing pieces of a puzzle that reveal clues about who his playdate is.

“It’s a way for us to know that we look like what’s going on in the rest of the universe,” says Robbins, who expects the show to premiere in April.

There are also ideas in the works for a spinoff of SpongeBob SquarePants featuring the beloved characters from Bikini Bottom. Naito said they’re working with the co-executive producers of SpongeBob to develop concepts and remain true to Stephen Hillenberg’s original idea.

They’re also working on CG-animated series Paddington, featuring a younger version of the bear and his London-based adventures and Lego City. And John Cena will host a new version of the game show, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?

The panel also spoke of their dedication to allowing new shows the time necessary to finding its audience instead of canceling programs that aren’t immediate hits.

“If you’re going to bring all these people on board to create something and promote it, you have to stick around to make sure it finds an audience,” DeBenedittis said. “I’m a big believer in sampling. You have to put it in multiple day parts, give it different leads-ins and lead-outs. Then you look at the data points to understand who is watching something.”

Bob Bakish Calls Pluto TV the "Cornerstone" of Viacom's Direct-to-Consumer Strategy ---ScRaBBlE

The Viacom CEO called Pluto TV the "cornerstone of our direct-to-consumer strategy."


Ian Gavan/MTV 2018/Getty Images for MTV

Bob Bakish acknowledged Tuesday (February 26, 2019) that Viacom "kind of took it on the chin for two years with respect to distribution revenue" by making the decision not to do the sort of big, bundled licensing deals with Netflix and the other streamers that its competitors were doing.

Bakish said Viacom, where he is Chief Executive Officer (CEO), "curtailed" licensing content to Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) services in 2017 because it didn't want to damage the cable TV ecosystem, even in exchange for short-term profits. Therefore, Viacom has "warehoused a set to rights" that will go to Pluto TV, the ad-supported streaming service it agreed to buy in January for $340 million.

The CEO said Pluto will be getting access to Viacom's library but that its latest and greatest content is still reserved for paying cable and satellite subscribers.

"It's important to note that this is a global opportunity" even though Pluto for now is largely focused on the U.S. "They just launched in Germany and the U.K. at the end of calendar 2018, but with Viacom we have operating footprint that is truly globe-spanning," he said.

Bakish called Pluto "a powerful new driver" of business as it seeks new deals with operators that carry its channels, like Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, VH1 and more, because some will also opt to distribute Pluto.

"And by the way, the last thing it is, is it's the cornerstone of our direct-to-consumer strategy...it's a free service that is the entry point into that ecosystem, but we will upsell targeted B2C products above that — Noggin, Comedy Central, a new Nickelodeon product," he said.

Bakish, speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco, also raved about the hiring of Brian Robbins in October to head Nickelodeon where he noted a strong slate of new shows and also that the ratings declines at the children's network are "significantly less bad than they were before."

The turnaround at the Paramount film and TV studio has been going great, with seven quarters of improvement in operating income and is on track to turn a profit in fiscal 2019, Bakish said.

He said the BET-branded movie What Men Want will likely make $60 million domestically (it's at $45 million now) and predicted, "we're going to make nice money on that."

Bumblebee is at $459 million worldwide and will be "solidly profitable" while the previous movie in the Transformers franchise lost $100 million for Paramount, Bakish said.

On the studio's TV side, "it didn't exist four years ago, crossed $400 million in 2018 and it should grow on the order of 50 percent in 2019. Importantly, it's not just delivering shows, it's producing hits," he said, noting the popularity of Jack Ryan on Amazon.

Viacom Announces Completion of Pluto TV Acquisition ---ScRaBBlE

Viacom Announces Completion of Pluto TV Acquisition

March 04, 2019 09:00 AM Eastern Standard Time


NEW YORK--Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAB, VIA) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Pluto TV, the leading free streaming television service in the U.S.

The acquisition, previously announced on January 22, 2019 for $340 million in cash, will advance Viacom’s strategic priorities across multiple touchpoints, while solidifying Pluto TV’s leadership in the domestic free streaming video market and accelerating its growth globally.

“The completion of this deal marks an exciting next step in Viacom’s evolution and a powerful opportunity for us to extend our consumer reach and broaden our ability to add value across the industry as the media landscape continues to segment,” said Bob Bakish, Viacom President and CEO. “Together with Pluto TV, we look forward to becoming a stronger partner to distributors, advertisers, content providers and audiences around the world.”

Founded in 2013, Pluto TV streams more than 100 channels and thousands of hours of on-demand content spanning television and movies, sports, news, lifestyle, comedy, cartoons, gaming and trending digital series. Today, it has more than 12 million monthly active users across devices, including smart TVs, streaming players, mobile devices, desktops and gaming consoles.



Pluto TV will have a crucial role in expanding Viacom’s presence across next-generation distribution platforms as a standalone free over-the-top (“OTT”) product, a direct-to-consumer cornerstone, and a partnership solution for wired, mobile and OTT distributors to serve their broadband only and video bundle subscribers on a zero incremental cost basis.

At the same time, Pluto TV accelerates Viacom’s advanced marketing solutions (“AMS”) business, serving as a very significant incremental source of targeted inventory – particularly against younger demographics – thereby strengthening Viacom’s ability to serve advertising customers and their associated agencies.

Viacom’s global scale, marketing capabilities, iconic brands and vast content portfolio will help Pluto TV strengthen its offering across important genres, solidify its leadership in the domestic free streaming video space and accelerate its growth internationally, benefiting both existing and forthcoming partners.

Pluto TV will operate as an independent subsidiary of Viacom, led by President and CEO Tom Ryan.

Viacom Completes Acquisition of Ad-Supported Streaming Service Pluto TV

Last month, Viacom announced that they had acquired ad-supported streaming TV service, Pluto TV for $340 million. The service offers 100 linear channels of lifestyle, news, sports, and entertainment content through partnerships with 130 media networks.

Today, the company announced that the acquisition has been completed. "The completion of this deal marks an exciting next step in Viacom’s evolution and a powerful opportunity for us to extend our consumer reach and broaden our ability to add value across the industry as the media landscape continues to segment,” said Bob Bakish, Viacom President and CEO. “Together with Pluto TV, we look forward to becoming a stronger partner to distributors, advertisers, content providers and audiences around the world.”

Pluto TV will operate as an independent subsidiary of Viacom, led by President and CEO Tom Ryan.

Viacom plans to use their infrastructure to expand Pluto TV’s footprint in the United States and around the world. The company also hopes to expand on the platform's 100 live linear channels with their deep library genre-specific content - kids (Nickelodeon), African-American (BET), reality (MTV & VH1), and comedy (Comedy Central).

Viacom also sees Pluto TV as a marketing engine to sell their own OTT services -- Noggin, Comedy Central Now, and Nick Hits. But don't expect first-run content to appear on Pluto TV, as Viacom says they will keep that content for their own linear channels.

Pluto TV has more than 12 million monthly active users, 7.5 million of which are on connected TVs. The service can stream across a wide array of devices including Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, PS4, iOS, Android, and your computer.

Last week another similar service, XUMO was rumored to be in acquisition talks with broadcasters including Sinclair Media Group. Last month, Sinclair launched their own ad-supported streaming service, STIRR.

Additionally, Tubi announced that following a $25m growth capital round, they had signed a streaming deal with NBCUniversal for 400 classic TV shows & films.

Also, from Deadline:

Viacom Closes $340M Pickup Of Pluto TV

Viacom has closed its $340 million acquisition of free, ad-supported streaming service Pluto TV.

The acquisition, which raised eyebrows for its pricetag when it was announced in January, advances Viacom’s plan to focus on advertising as it invests in streaming. That’s the opposite approach from media peers like Disney, CBS and WarnerMedia.

“The completion of this deal marks an exciting next step in Viacom’s evolution and a powerful opportunity for us to extend our consumer reach and broaden our ability to add value across the industry as the media landscape continues to segment,” said Bob Bakish, Viacom President and CEO. “Together with Pluto TV, we look forward to becoming a stronger partner to distributors, advertisers, content providers and audiences around the world.”

Pluto TV will operate as an independent subsidiary of Viacom, led by President and CEO Tom Ryan, the company said.

Founded in 2013, Pluto TV streams more than 100 channels in a range of genres, claiming more than 12 million monthly active users across devices. The announcement of the deal completion said Pluto TV will have a “crucial role” in expanding Viacom’s presence in streaming and that the company is a big believer in its “zero cost” appeal to customers.

Pluto is also a platform where Viacom will be able to roll out some of its ad-tech initiatives designed to improve targeting and efficiency.

Viacom Has Completed Their Purchase of Pluto TV

A few weeks ago Viacom announced a deal to buy the free streaming services Pluto TV. Today Viacom announced that they have closed on that deal and now own Pluto TV for $340 million in cash. This deal will give Viacom full control over Pluto TV and its future. For some time now Viacom has hinted at plans for a free streaming service now it seems that buying Pluto TV is how they will do it.

“The completion of this deal marks an exciting next step in Viacom’s evolution and a powerful opportunity for us to extend our consumer reach and broaden our ability to add value across the industry as the media landscape continues to segment,” said Bob Bakish, Viacom President and CEO. “Together with Pluto TV, we look forward to becoming a stronger partner to distributors, advertisers, content providers and audiences around the world.”

A few weeks ago when this deal was first announced the CEO of Pluto TV said: “Since our launch less than five years ago, and particularly over the past year, Pluto TV has enjoyed explosive growth and become the category leader in free streaming television,” said Pluto TV CEO and Co-Founder Tom Ryan. “Viacom’s portfolio of global, iconic brands and IP, advanced advertising leadership and international reach will enable Pluto TV to grow even faster and become a major force in streaming TV worldwide. Viacom is the perfect partner to help us accomplish our mission of entertaining the planet.”

Viacom has been clear they that they plan to keep Pluto TV free. Viacom’s CEO Bob Bakish went on CNBC and pushed the idea of how Pluto TV as a free service is important to Viacom. “We love how (Pluto TV) fits in with over 12 million active users,” Bakish said. “We have a ton of (ads) to sell and that is where Pluto TV comes in.”

For now, I wouldn’t look for anything to change in the short term. Hopefully, this means more Viacom content will be coming to Pluto TV soon.

From TheWrap Pro:

“We’ve grown fast, but we’re going to grow a heckuva lot faster now that we’re partnering up with Viacom,” CEO Tom Ryan says

The demise of traditional, ad-supported TV has been greatly exaggerated, according to Tom Ryan. The CEO of Pluto TV has tried to take the best of what old-school television has to offer — accessibility, quality programming, curation — and use it to power his Los Angeles-based streaming startup that Viacom acquired for $340 million in a deal that closed on Monday.

“We’ve grown fast, but we’re going to grow a heckuva lot faster now that we’re partnering up with Viacom,” Ryan told TheWrap.

At a time when Netflix is reinventing the way viewers watch and pay for content, Pluto TV has doubled down on the sanctity of free, ad-driven entertainment — though Ryan said Pluto TV could consider a paid.. [click here to read the article in full. Paid subscription required.]

Pluto TV CEO Tom Ryan talks about the big Viacom deal

Pluto TV CEO Tom Ryan has always been a forward-thinking kind of a guy and along with his talented team, they put together one of the most successful free streaming video offerings on the market with over 12 million subscribers. Now this week their long-anticipated $340 million purchase by Viacom is complete and the future is very bright for all of us who love our Pluto TV.

Ryan spoke to me about 48 hours after the ink began to dry on his new deal with one of the media world’s biggest and most powerful players. We talked about the purchase of Pluto TV by Viacom which will keep Ryan in charge and of course what we can expect Pluto TV will be able to do with their new expansive library of content.

Before you listen to the entire interview here are a few highlights.

Ryan on what is coming to Pluto TV – “There are tens of thousands of hours of Viacom programming that has never before seen on stream services will be headed to Pluto TV and these are shows that are household names. We also are excited about our continued expansion in Europe as well our future plans of going into South America. This is all part of our mission to bring Pluto TV to the world.

Ryan on why Pluto TV and Viacom are such a great fit- We have a shared vision of how to provide quality entertainment to viewers worldwide on a free, ad-supported streaming video service. It is that shared vision that brought us together in the first place and we hope will serve us well into the future.

“The completion of this deal marks an exciting next step in Viacom’s evolution and a powerful opportunity for us to extend our consumer reach and broaden our ability to add value across the industry as the media landscape continues to segment,” said Bob Bakish, Viacom’s President/CEO. “Together with Pluto TV, we look forward to becoming a stronger partner to distributors, advertisers, content providers and audiences around the world.”

Some fast facts: Founded in 2013, Pluto TV streams more than 100 channels with over 150 content partners and on-demand content spanning television and movies, sports, news, lifestyle, comedy, cartoons, gaming, and trending digital series. You can access their content from your phone, tablet, laptop, streaming devices or gaming consoles.

'Drake & Josh' Stars Drake Bell & Josh Peck Reunite for a Business Meeting at Viacom's L.A. HQ ---ScRaBBlE

Just what are Drake Bell and Josh Peck up to together?!


The 32-year-old Drake & Josh co-stars were seen meeting up with each other at the Viacom building on Wednesday (March 13) in Los Angeles, California, Just Jared Jr. reports. Viacom is the parent of the Nickelodeon brand.

The two actors starred in their hit series Drake & Josh together on Nickelodeon from 2004 to 2007 across four seasons (plus pair of TV movies that premiered on the network in 2006 and 2008). The series followed stepbrothers Drake Parker (Bell) and Josh Nichols (Peck) as they lived together despite having opposite personalities.

Are the two reuniting for a possible reboot, or at least a new project together? Josh is set to make an appearance at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards 2019 on March 23, could there be a reunion planned?

“There were our ups and downs about it, but man, I’d go back in a second,” Drake recently said in an interview of a potential reboot. It looks like something might be happening after all!

A Drake & Josh revival wouldn't be out of the question. Nickelodeon is in the midst of reviving some of the network's most popular shows. Rugrats for example, is being rebooted for not only a Nickelodeon TV show, but a CGI/live-action movie as well. Nickelodeon also announced that Rocko's Modern Life would be returning to the network with a TV movie, as well as Invader Zim, which will likely be getting its TV movie in 2019. Nickelodeon also revived Legends of the Hidden Temple and Hey Arnold! for TV movies, which aired in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and has also revived Double Dare. Nickelodeon is also in the planning stages to revive Clarissa Explains It All and Are You Afraid of the Dark? as a movie and miniseries, and will be reviving All That with a all-new cast as well as old favorites in Summer 2019.

Drake and Josh have reunited several times over the last couple of years, including for a video in which they sing Drake's latest hit, Fuego Lento and learn a bit of Spanish.

'Drake & Josh' Revival Officially in the Works ---ScRaBBlE

Hug me, brotha!


A Drake & Josh revival starring Drake Bell and Josh Peck is officially in the works, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Bell, 32, teased the revival while walking the red carpet at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in L.A. on Thursday, revealing that the duo is currently in talks with several networks about a new show.

“We’re working on something,” Bell told PEOPLE. “I’m excited. I think we have a great idea.”

Drake & Josh originally aired on Nickelodeon from 2004-07. The sitcom starred Bell and Peck, also 32, as stepbrothers navigating their new sibling relationship while trying to survive the highs and lows of high school.

“[The show] is going to be way more creative, way cooler than just you know the college years or something like that,” Bell said of the reboot. “We knew that if we were ever going to come back, it’s got to be something cool. I’m excited to see what the fans think.”

While Bell kept tight-lipped about what fans can expect from the new project, a source tells PEOPLE it will “be more adult and really funny.”

Bell said he couldn’t be more excited to work alongside Peck again.

“We’ve known each other for so long, and it really is once in a lifetime in this industry that you get to work with somebody and it clicks like that,” he said. “He’s just got an amazing comedic wit and incredible timing and he’s really smart and we really get along. So I think that it just kind of all goes together.”


The news follows Bell and Peck spotted having a meeting at Viacom's Los Angeles offices. Viacom owns Nickelodeon, meaning that it technically has control of the original Drake & Josh brand. The photo shows the former co-stars talking with two other men, and Peck is seen holding what looks like a laptop. What else would you bring to an important business meeting?

Update: Whatever the project is, Bell said he's looking forward to the fan reaction. "Everywhere we go we get, ‘When's the reboot? When's the reboot? When are you guys coming back?'" he told E! News. But don't call it a reboot or a revival following an older Drake Parker and Josh Nichols.

"Neither of us want to do a reboot," Bell said. "It had to be something cool, it has to be something creative, so, no, honestly I never thought that we would be coming back…I think we've come up with something that's a little bit more creative and a little more exciting."

Bell and Peck first worked together on The Amanda Show starring Amanda Bynes. He said his bond and chemistry with Peck was instant.

"I don't know what it is, but it works," he said.

Peck also coyly hinted at the reunion in a tweet on Friday.

Nickelodeon is in the midst of reviving some of the network's most popular shows. Rugrats for example, is being rebooted for not only a Nickelodeon TV show, but a CGI/live-action movie as well. Nickelodeon also announced that Rocko's Modern Life would be returning to the network with a TV movie, as well as Invader Zim, which will likely be getting its TV movie in 2019. Nickelodeon also revived Legends of the Hidden Temple and Hey Arnold! for TV movies, which aired in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and has also revived Double Dare. Nickelodeon is also in the planning stages to revive Clarissa Explains It All and Are You Afraid of the Dark? as a movie and miniseries, and will be reviving All That with a all-new cast as well as old favorites in Summer 2019.

Drake and Josh have reunited several times over the last couple of years, including for a video in which they sing Drake's latest hit, Fuego Lento and learn a bit of Spanish.

It's currently unknown whether Miranda Cosgrove (Megan), Nancy Sullivan (Audrey) and Jonathan Goldstein (Walter) will also be involved in the reboot.

Bell previously discussed a potential reunion during an interview with PopCulture.com, sharing that he would "absolutely" be up for a reboot.

"I'm down and I'd love to. It's just kind of like scheduling and all that," he said. "A lot of stuff that has to come together for something like that to actually happen, but it's definitely not off the table. Knowing Josh and the way that I've talked to him about it, and the way that I've heard him talk, he would be into it and I would be into it too."

Bell added that while the interest is there, the story would have to be just right to warrant a Drake & Josh reunion.

"It's gotta be something really cool," he explained. "It can't just be like, 'The College Years,' or 'Where are Drake Parker and Josh Nichols now?' It's gotta be something special that can live on and be able to go on, not just like an hour special or something."

Meanwhile, Drake has admitted that he has yet to meet Josh's 2-month old son, Max.

“I just have not had time to do that unfortunately,” the Nickelodeon alum, 32, told Us Weekly while attending the 2019 iHeart Radio Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater in L.A. on Thursday, March 14.

“Our schedules are crazy. I mean, whenever we’re together, he doesn’t have the baby. And I’m never in L.A. I’m always on the road!” he explained. “You know, I’m here for a couple days and then I’m back on the road … But it’s only been about a month. So I’m still alright.”

The YouTube personality welcomed his baby boy with wife Paige O’Brien on December 31.

“Max Milo Peck,” the Grandfathered actor, 32, captioned an Instagram picture of the newborn at the time.

Despite having yet to meet the little one, Bell told Us in September 2017 that the dynamic duo were closer than they had been in years. “It’s totally great. It’s all love. We’re brothers, man,” he said at the time. “We’ve been working together for 18 years, maybe even longer now. So we’ve had our ups, we’ve had our downs, it’s like we’re real brothers. It’s kind of that sibling rivalry and sibling love and it’s the whole thing.”

Drama brewed between the two after Peck failed to invite his longtime friend to his June 2017 wedding. “True colors have come out today. Message is loud and clear. Ties are officially cut. I’ll miss you brother,” Bell tweeted at the time.

The Cover Versions actor later expressed regret at how he handled the situation, telling Entertainment Tonight in July, “I should have just texted that to him, you know. I was just being cranky.”

By August 2017, they were poking fun at the incident, making a mock video together in which Bell joked, “Wedding looked like it sucked, anyway.”

The Amanda Show alum told Us on Thursday that he and the Mean Creek star are now in talks to do a reboot of the show that has forever linked them. “It’s been talked about, yeah,” he confessed of a Drake & Josh revival. “There’s something brewing. There’s been ideas thrown around, some really good ideas that excite, I think, me and Josh more than stuff that we’ve heard before. And so, you know, maybe!”

In an interview with E! News, Bell continued, "Josh and I have been talking and he's come up with some cool ideas. And, yeah I can't really go into exactly what we're doing but it's going to be really cool and exciting. I'm really excited to do it."
