Nickelodeon Will Revive Blue’s Clues and Launch a SlimeFest Music Festival in Chicago

Reinvention is the main theme at the brand's upfront event

Nickelodeon is getting in on TV’s revival craze, and will be bringing back one of its most popular shows, Blue’s Clues.

The network made the announcement just ahead of its upfront event, which will be held this afternoon. The Blue’s Clues news is part of an ambitious slate that expands beyond linear and across platforms, with new music festivals, augmented reality apps and a YouTube short-form series.

Cyma Zarghami, president of Nickelodeon Group, said the network will air more than 800 episodes of new and returning series this season, which is a 20 percent increase over last year.

“More is the new normal, and we have a very robust pipeline, and that’s one of the things that gives us great confidence at the moment.
