Premise
Serving as a sequel to the original series and set decades after it, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish tells the story of Hazel Wells, a 10-year-old girl who has recently moved to the city of Dimmadelphia because of her father's new job. On top of being in an unfamiliar environment, it is also the first time she has been without her older brother, Antony, who left to start college, leaving her feeling lonely and unsure of herself. All that changes when her pink-and-green-haired neighbors next door reveal themselves to be no ordinary neighbors but fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda, who come out of retirement to become Hazel's fairy godparents.

Reception
Critical response
Ty'Kira Smalls of Common Sense Media gave the series a three-out-of-five stars, stating "Fairly OddParents: A New Wish's eccentric characters and self-aware humor are a familiar yet refreshing take on the original." John Schwarz of Bubbleblabber states, "Overall, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish is a pretty good re-do of an already established franchise.
