An All That revival is coming to Nickelodeon, produced by former star Kenan Thompson
Ready yet. Get set. It's All That ... again.
Nickelodeon is reviving the classic sketch comedy series All That, with original star Kenan Thompson set to produce, Variety reports. The revival will feature a new cast but original stars are expected to make appearances. Originally airing from 1994 through 2005, All That featured a rotating cast of young stars including Thompson, Amanda Bynes, Kel Mitchell, and Nick Cannon.
Thompson, who is now a cast member of Saturday Night Live, told Variety that All That "means everything to me." In addition to launching the careers of actors like Thompson and Bynes, All That also spawned several successful spin-offs, including Kenan & Kel and The Amanda Show, the latter of which got a spin-off of its own, Drake & Josh. All That's Good Burger sketch also launched a 1997 film that Thompson starred in.

This isn't the only revival headed to Nickelodeon — the network is also planning to bring back the game show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, The Wrap reports, with wrestler and actor John Cena taking over hosting duties from Jeff Foxworthy. And the Nick news doesn't stop there, with Variety also reporting that SpongeBob SquarePants spin-offs are on the way, as are TV shows based on the Paddington and Lego movies.
All these new projects come as Nickelodeon President Brian Robbins is plotting a slate that will get a Netflix-obsessed generation of kids interested again, saying that while filling their airwaves with a lot of episodes of a small number of programs used to be acceptable, now, they need "a constant number of new shows coming."
