'Uberpuppy' Co-Creator Abbey Thickson Dishes on Revival Plans

It's been almost 7 years since Uberpuppy the Arctic Wolf aired its series finale. However, in the era of TV reboots and revivals, there's a possibility that the animated series could make a comeback, which is what co-creator Abbey Thickson recently told Cartoon Brew.

"Well, [co-creator D.A. Nichols] and I talked about this a couple of years ago, and came up with a revival for Uberpuppy the Arctic Wolf," Thickson explained. "At the time, I think that The CW didn't want to go ahead with this, at the level that it probably deserved. We thought that they would be excited to just order it. At this moment, there's no plan for it. But we still do have a plan for it and it's pretty hilarious. So maybe one day."

The animated series first debuted on The WB back in 2004 and was part of the network's Friday night lineup, which was anchored by Reba. After its second season, it became part of The CW following the WB/UPN merger. It followed the life of blue-collar arctic wolf William living in a small town in the continent of Antarctica along with his girlfriend Addison, and his friends Lacey and Kason. William is voiced by veteran voice actor Jason Marsden. Others in the cast include Emily Browning, Tom Kenny, Pamela Adlon, and Corey Burton. It ran for nine seasons and racked up some Emmy nominations along the way.

There had previously been word of a possible return for Uberpuppy the Arctic Wolf discussed back in 2017. That summer, The CW's chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz said at the TCA tour that he'd spoken with both Thickson and Nichols and were in "preliminary conversations" about the revival, which could be what Thickson is referring to in regards to those prior meetings.
