'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' trailer

EW gave you an exclusive first look at Nickelodeon's new and improved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series last year. But now, as the series' TBD fall launch nears, we've got another special treat for you: an exclusive look at the show's official trailer.

Natch, the trailer quickly goes into the origin story of the Turtles. "They were created by accident," the voice in the trailer tells us. "They were kept a secret. They were trained for battle. And now, when their city is under siege, the fate of humanity is in the hands of these four…turtles!" And it continues: "When evil threatens our universe, these four brothers are destined to save the world!" Then it takes a few moments to introduce each of the four green guys: Leonardo, "the leader"; Donatello, "the brains"; Raphael, "the muscle"; and Michelangelo, "the wild one." However, there seems to be no sign of Splinter or April in this trailer, unfortunately.

EW recently spoke with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles executive producer Ciro Neili, who explained how this iteration of the characters fits into the Turtles universe. "I tried to boil it down and get to really what's at the core of it," Neili says, "which is this sense of brothers and camaraderie. Everything grew out of that. It's like a band. You want a Beatles thing."

The trailer — which you can find embedded below — will premiere on Nick.com tomorrow and Nickelodeon this Saturday, June 23, during the season 1, book 1 finale of Legend of Korra, which is an hour-long TV event featuring two back-to-back episodes.
