Nickelodeon has pulled the plug on both School of Rock and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn.
“Nickelodeon is not moving forward with production on Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn and School of Rock,” the network shared in a statement to Deadline.
“We are extremely proud of each series, and thankful to the casts and crews for their work. The remaining episodes for both shows will continue to air on Nickelodeon through 2018.”
While NRDD is most likely not going to be picked up by any other network, Paramount Television will shop School of Rock around for another season pickup.
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn‘s fourth season will premiere in 2018, while School of Rock has 12 remaining episodes to air, with an hourlong finale.
At the end of September, it seemed like Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn was over — we mean Lizzy Greene and Kyla-Drew Simmons were both saying their goodbyes.
But is it really over? We know that Mace Coronel left the series, but Lizzy isn’t giving up hope for a 5th season of the show after all.
“No word on it yet,” she shared last week at the 2017 Nickelodeon HALO Awards. “I’m sure everyone would love to have it.”
Even she’s excited for a potential fifth season: “I, for sure, would love to, but you never know.”
“You just always have to be open for options and other stuff like that, but you have to expect it all,” Lizzy adds.

Over the summer, the cast of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn was shaken up when Mace Coronel announced his exit from the Nickelodeon show.
Now, fans must be wondering how the show will address his exit on the show — and Lizzy Greene has the answer.
Speaking with IBT, Lizzy shared that Dicky will kind of be part of a student exchange program.
“[He'll be going] on a little trip” to Australia and “that’s pretty much it,” she revealed.
And in return, a new character from Australia will be joining the remaining quads.
“We had a new cast member come in towards the end of our fourth season and he’s really nice and made the whole experience even more fun because it’s always cool to have new people come in to work with,” she added.
Jonah Hwang will star as Britt for three episodes.
It looks like Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, & Dawn had a big shake up.
Deadline is reporting that one of the quads, Mace Coronel (Dicky), has left the show.
A Nickelodeon spokesperson says the network and Mace “mutually parted ways” during the summer, noting that “it was a mutual decision”, however, a season 5 of the show is not for sure.
It seems that there was some drama behind the scenes, with a “personality conflict among the young cast”, which caused the rift.
Mace left the show in August, and the last five episodes of season 4 will be without him.
Stars Lizzy Greene and Kyla-Drew Simmons took to social media late last month to say goodbye to the series.
The Wizard of Oz is such an iconic movie and if we asked you to name a setting or prop from it, we’d bet you’d name Dorothy’s ruby slippers immediately.
However, did you know that they weren’t originally red? It’s true — they were actually silver…at least in the book.
The color of the slippers changed to red to take full advantage of the Technicolor process — and this is a fact that Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn‘s Lizzy Greene just learned about.
“We have a little nod to the past where both Jade [Pettyjohn] and I are wearing the silver slippers for a little Easter Egg bit in the special,” Lizzy tells us.
She also dished about getting to play such an iconic role as Dorothy Gale.
“There were actually rumors long before we actually did it and I was really excited about that prospect,” she says of making a musical episode. “I was the one that was crossing all my fingers, hoping that it would actually happen for us.”
“Then, they told me I was going to be singing and playing Dorothy, and that was just like a pinch me moment because I’ve loved The Wizard of Oz for so long,” Lizzy adds.
We can imagine!
The “Wonderful Wizard of Quads” airs TONIGHT, Saturday, August 5th @ 8PM ET/PT on Nickelodeon.
