"Zeta, YOU'RE GROUNDED!" Shimmer & Shine Cancelled After Season 4

ll good things must come to an end. Unfortunately that deals with Nickelodeon's Shimmer and Shine (launched 2015). After four seasons, the magic carpet rides are about to be finally over.

The only good thing about the show ending is that in the final episode, Zeta and Nazboo will be grounded for trying to steal Shimmer and Shine's things and attempting t take over the city of Zahramay Falls, and will also get the punishment those villain charcacters deserved.

A big hank you to Dee Bradley Baker, Kellie Pickler (VeggieTales), Lacey Chambert (The Wild Thornberrys) and everyone at Nickelodeon and Viacom who has joined in and worked together to make this show great. You guys are some of the best people to get to work with, Moose and I and all our fans will miss you dearly.

So until we meet again, farewell

RIP Shimmer and Shine 2015-2019
