New Rugrats Season 2 preview
The ever iconic babies – Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, Susie, Phil and Lil – return with Paramount+’s reboot of the smash hit animated series that aired during the ’90s. As per usual, we’ll see our favourite little gang explore the world and embark on never-ending adventures fuelled by their adorable imaginations.
In Rugrats Season 2, the babies are once again ready to take on the world with their wildly imaginative perspectives. Fresh episodes follow Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, Susie, Phil, and Lil as they find themselves on daring adventures: crossing the frozen tundra, finding ancient treasures, and the greatest adventure of all – meeting Tommy’s new brother!
The second season also welcomes the return of Tara Strong, who voiced Dil Pickles in the original show, and an exciting guest cast line-up. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, Rugrats is based on the series of the same name created by Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo, and Paul Germain.

How to watch the new and the original Rugrats in Australia?
Both the reboot and the original TV series are available to stream on Paramount Plus, which also features an impressive catalogue of shows from CBS, Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon, Channel 10, and many others. To start streaming new episodes, all you need to do is sign up for the service, which even includes a 7-day free trial.
Even more convenient, there’s no need to pick more expensive plans in order to stream the best Paramount Plus shows at once since there’s only one streaming tier. As such, Paramount+ allows users to stream on up to three screens at the same time for the monthly price of $9.99, or sign up for the $89.99 annual plan. This saves you a little bit on your plan fees since it works out to be only around $7.50 per month.
New Rugrats cast
The reboot stars EG Daily as Tommy Pickles, Nancy Cartwright as Chuckie Finster, Cheryl Chase as Angelica Pickles, Cree Summer as Susie Carmichael, and Kath Soucie as Phil and Lil DeVille, all of whom are reprising their iconic Rugrats characters from the 1991 series. Meanwhile, none of the surviving voice actors of the adults from the original series returned to reprise their roles, so new cast members have been introduced in the 2021 version.
