Blakeslee and Harris will be joined by Ashleigh Crystal Hairston, who will voice the new main character Hazel Wells. The official description for the series states:

“In ‘Fairly OddParents: A New Wish,’ ten-year-old Hazel Wells has just moved to the big city of Dimmadelphia because of her dad’s new job. On top of being in an unfamiliar environment, it’s the first time she’s been without her brother, Antony, who’s just left for college, leaving her lonely and unsure of herself. All that changes when the pink-and-green-haired neighbors next door reveal that they are no ordinary neighbors…they’re Cosmo and Wanda, fairy godparents! And they’re coming out of retirement to make all of Hazel’s wishes come true.”

The series is co-executive produced by David Stone, Lindsay Katai, Hairston, and Daniel Abramovici. Butch Hartman, the creator of the original series, will also executive produce along with Fred Seibert, who executive produced the original series. Production is overseen by Claudia Spinelli, senior vice president of Animation for Big Kids at Nickelodeon, and Kelley Gardner, vice president of current series, Animation, at Nickelodeon. The series is overseen by executive in charge, Neil Wade. Nickelodeon Animation is the studio.

The original “Fairly OddParents” ran for 10 seasons between 2001-2017 on Nickelodeon for 172 episodes. There was also a series of three live-action films with Drake Bell playing a grown-up Timmy Turner. Paramount+ then aired a live-action sequel series in 2022 called “The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder,” which saw Timmy hand over Cosmo and Wanda to his cousin Viv (Audrey Grace Marshall) before he leaves for college.
