>It's been a decade since the last episode of LazyTown aired. The popular Nickelodeon kids' show spanned for 4 seasons, featuring action-packed and educational stories for young audiences. And now, after years of the show being shelved, the franchise's creator and LazyTown's lead actor, Magnus Scheving, bought back the rights to the popular children's program from Warner Bros. Discovery.
>In an interview with the Icelandic news site, Scheving shared the love he still has for the show and believes that LazyTown still has potential despite being pulled off the air for many years. He pointed out that despite the show being shelved, LazyTown's official YouTube channel was able to generate over 5.5 billion views from fans and is still being talked about to this day:
>"LazyTown must be moving. We sometimes say "Let's move the world". Let's move the world. That's what LazyTown should do. I think that LazyTown has a lot to do again, as can be seen from YouTube views and such. It's a hugely popular topic, incredibly."
>According to Kidscreen.com, LazyTown was sold to Turner and Warner Bros Discovery back in 2011 for around $19.25 million. While it wasn't disclosed how much the Icelandic CEO paid to get the rights back, he did share his plans for the franchise. One of them was to get the show back on TV. "I want to bring him back to TV. I want to put it back in 170 countries. I think this will only do good. I have never met anyone who has been harmed by LazyTown," said Scheving.
