A popular animated series has made a change to one of its characters' names due to concerns that it may be a derogatory term. The show, titled The Fairly OddParents, has been running for several years now and has gained a loyal fan base. However, in a recent episode, it was revealed that the character Poof, the son of main characters Cosmo and Wanda, will now be known as Peri. This change was made for a very specific reason, as the show's developers wanted to avoid using a name that could be considered offensive in many countries.
To celebrate the release of a new sequel series titled The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, we're giving away tickets to an exciting event at Brighton Pride. Five lucky readers of Metro have the chance to win tickets for themselves and a guest to attend the Fabuloso In The Park event on August 3rd, 2024.

Back to the show, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish introduces a new character named Dev Dimmadome, the grandson of a character from the original series. Peri, who now serves as Dev's fairy godparent, makes a grand entrance in the episode and introduces himself with his new name. This change was explained by the show's writer, producer, and star Ashleigh Crystal Hairston, who shared on social media that the previous name was a slur in many countries and could not be used.
The original series, which first aired in 2008, has since been followed by two spin-offs, and the new sequel series follows Cosmo and Wanda as they come out of retirement to watch over their new godchild, Hazel Wells. The character is voiced by Hairston, adding another layer of excitement for fans of the show. The franchise has become the second longest-running animated series on Nickelodeon, just behind SpongeBob SquarePants, which has been on air since 1999. You can catch The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish on Netflix.
