The producers, who also make the HBO series "Arliss," had been in the last year of a three-year production deal with Nick.
Extension calls for Tollin/Robbins to continue production on both the sketch comedy series "All That" and the buddy comedy "Kenan & Kel" as well as develop a follow-up to their summertime "Good Burger" feature film (made in association with Nickelodeon Movies/Paramount Pictures) for next summer that will also star Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell.
"Good Burger" has grossed just over $20 million at the box office to date.
Thompson and Mitchell currently star in "Kenan & Kel," which spun off of "All That" and is in its second season. "All That" is in its fourth campaign.
Tollin/Robbins is also at work on the second season of "Nickelodeon's Sports Theater With Shaquille O'Neal" and has also completed principal photography on a pilot for a live-action/puppet series "Cousin Skeeter."
Albie Hecht, Nickelodeon's senior VP of worldwide production and development, said Wednesday, "We're thrilled to continue our creative and business relationship with the preeminent kids and family producers of the '90s.
"The diversity of Tollin and Robbins' creative vision is extraordinary, and that makes them extremely valuable to us."
