In some sad news today, the original writers of LEGO Ninajgo: Masters of Spinjitzu, Dan and Kevin Hageman, announced on Twitter that they will be leaving the show after Season 9. They’ve helped with the story development that leads up to the 100th episode of the show which will be airing some time next year. Bragi Schut will be taking over the reigns for the foreseeable future. The Hageman Brothers have created so many memories for fans of Ninjago and many will be sad to see them leaving the show. We wish them the best in their future endeavors.
Goodbyes are fraught with so many emotions. Though it saddens us to tell our Ninjago fans we’ve written our last episode, we are encouraged to know it won’t be the last Ninjago adventure. We’ve known for a while that after 8 great years, S9 would be our final curtain call… 1/7

While we helped the story development for the lead up to the 100th Episode, it’s truly the work and genius of our friend @bragischutjr. We feel lucky to be able to help pick our predecessor and we know Ninjago is safe in his capable hands (unless the Overlord coms back.)… 2/7

But Bragi is one in a long line we want to thank. This was only made possible because our good friends @LEGO_Group took a chance on us. We were untested. And often had some crazy ideas. But Jill Wilfert and so many others trusted us and for that, we owe them our careers… 3/7

Then there are those rare associates you spend so much time with you’d drop everything just to see them when they come to town. @TommyAndreasen , @simonlucas80, @NelsonLamonica – this show wouldn’t exist without your talent, support and friendship… 4/7

And to @SevenWheelSound and @KramerComposer – your score elevated this show above the fray. Then there is everyone at @WILFILM, who put it all on the line. And Michael Donovan and the incredibly talented voice cast who we LOVED getting to know… 5/7

Ninjago is the culmination of a lot of love from a lot of people and our only contribution going forward will be rooting for its success. Writing Ninjago is truly the highlight of our career. While other projects garnered more acclaim, or a bigger box office… 6/7

Hearing from our fans has proven to us that this isn’t just a show, it’s a chapter in your childhoods. And that honor you have given us affects us to our core. Thank you for loving the show as much as we loved writing it.
Sill looking for our true potential,
The Hagemans7/7
