The premiere episode guest stars Jace Norman (Henry Danger) as he goes undercover at Luther Burbank Middle School to prank students in a variety of subjects ranging from gym to science. Using full prosthetics and a fool-proof costume, a team of special effects artists transform Norman into a completely unrecognizable substitute teacher who is ready to give his students an unforgettable surprise.

Nickelodeon Junior France to Premiere '44 Cats' on Monday 27th May 2019

Nickelodeon Junior France will premiere the brand-new CG-animated preschool series 44 Cats on Monday 27th May 2019! Created and directed by Iginio Straffi, the founder of Italian content powerhouse Rainbow Group, the makers of Winx Club and Regal Academy, and produced by Rainbow in collaboration with Antoniano Bologna and Rai Ragazzi, Nickelodeon Junior will launch 44 Cats, locally titled 44 Chats, by airing the first two 11-minute episodes of the all-new series at 20:00 and 20:10, respectively. Following launch, Nickelodeon France's top-rated preschool channel will continue to air two brand-new episodes of 44 Cats weekdays at 20:00 and 20:10.


Set in the world of animals, 44 Cats (52 eps x c. 13') follows the daily adventures of Lampo, Milady, Pilou, and Meatball – four adorable kittens who are part of a music band named The Buffycats.

The protagonists live and play in the Clubhouse, a garage beside old Granny Pina’s house. Their adventures explore the themes of friendship and altruism: the four cats love helping others and always find creative solutions to everyday hitches and help other cats in need. The series promotes positive attitudes and conveys educational messages dealing with important themes such as tolerance, diversity and solidarity in a funny way.

This eagerly anticipated show made its world debut on Rai Yoyo in Italy on Monday 12th November 2018. Nickelodeon International acquired the broadcast rights to the series in May 2018, and will roll the animated series out on Nickelodeon channels and branded blocks around the world, excluding in the U.S. and Latin America, throughout 2019.

To celebrate the launch of 44 Chats, Nickelodeon Junior France has launched an exclusive competition which is inviting viewers to send Nickelodeon Junior photos of their pet cats for the chance for their photos to appear on television! For more information and to enter the contest, visit https://concours.nickelodeonjunior.fr/44chats/0/wqrb6/.

44 Cats is inspired by the very popular Italian kids song "44 Gatti", which, in 1968, won the 10th edition of the Zecchino d'Oro and has since entered the collective imagination of Italians.



44 Cats is the first Rainbow Group production jointly developed with Bardel Entertainment, the Canadian animation studio it acquired in 2015, and jointly produced in collaboration with Antoniano Bologna and Rai Ragazzi, and combines great music and edutainment with high quality animation. The series also marks Rainbow’s (Winx Club, Regal Academy, Club 57, Mia and me, Maggie & Bianca Fashion Friends) inaugural foray into preschool programming.

Rainbow inked a licensing deal for 44 Cats with Thai Group’s Hong Kong-based company, Toy Plus in August 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Toy Plus will develop a variety of products including interactive plush, figurines, play sets, musical toys and more based on the music, creative play patterns and collectability featured in the series. The line of merchandise debuted in Hong Kong in October, and is slated to become available for purchase around the world in fall 2019.

Rainbow has also secured a new licensing deal for 44 Cats with holistic lifestyle company Artsana Group. Under the agreement, the company will develop a range of licensed 44 Cats-themed infant educational toys for infants and a nursing line under its Chicco brand, the largest infant brand in Europe. The deal also includes apparel and accessories collections by Prenatal and Chicco. Products are expected to hit retail shelves later this year and will be supported by a dedicated, high-level marketing campaign delivered jointly by Rainbow and Artsana Group, which is also based in Italy.

44 Gatti become the most watched Italian-produced cartoon of 2018 when it debuted on Rai Yoyo on Monday 12th November 2018, recording record ratings of 527,000 viewers and a 2.71% audience share, helping Rai Yoyo to continue to be the most watched children's channel in Italy! Since its debut, 44 Gatti has also held the record for the highest viewing share amongst children aged 4-7 years, reaching 16% and an average audience of 350,000 viewers in the 19.15 timeslot.

Share it: @NickJrPolska #AbbyHatcher


Nickelodeon’s brand-new animated preschool series, Abby Hatcher (created and produced by Spin Master Entertainment), tells the story of a little girl with a big heart who helps her friends, the amazing and quirky Fuzzly creatures, fix their mishaps, learn from their mistakes and negotiate their emotions. Launching on Nick Jr. Poland (Polska) on Monday 27th May 2019 at 15:35, Abby Hatcher (26 episodes) features a social-emotional curriculum highlighting empathy, compassion and problem-solving skills. Following launch, new episodes of Abby Hatcher will continue to air weekdays at 15:35 on the Nick Jr. channel in Poland. Each new episode will encore regularly on Nick Jr. Polska.

In Abby Hatcher, Abby is an eternally optimistic, kind-hearted seven-year-old girl who loves to lend a helping hand to others and accepts everyone--no matter how different they are. In Abby’s world, humans coexist with Fuzzlies, incredible creatures that each have their own unique abilities that make them special, and Abby’s parents’ hotel is home to many. Together with her best Fuzzly friend Bozzly, Abby goes on wild adventures to fix Fuzzly mishaps and help them in any way she can. Whenever a problem arises Abby and Bozzly always say, “Fuzzly trouble can’t delay, to the rescue, save the day!”



In the series premiere of Abby Hatcher, “When Abby Met Bozzly/Hair Flair Everywhere,” Abby meets the best friend of her dreams, a fuzzly named Bozzly, for the first time. Then, when the hotel’s salon owner Mrs. Melvin closes the salon for the day, Abby tries to help Harriet, a hair-obsessed Fuzzly, find a new hobby, when all she really wants is to style. In additional new episodes, Mo and Bo are mistaken for a snow monster, and, after taking a tumble, Otis suffers a fear of heights and becomes scared to use his elevator.


Abby Hatcher made its world debut on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Tuesday, January 1, 2019, and will be rolling out on Nickelodeon’s international channels and branded blocks throughout 2019. The series also airs on TVO and Knowledge in Canada.

'All That' Alums Kel Mitchell, Lori Beth Denberg and Josh Server are Back for the Revival - See the First Look

When All That returns to Nickelodeon this summer, there will be some very familiar faces helping usher in the new cast!


Now this is All That.

Back in February during Nickelodeon Upfront 2019, Nickelodeon announced that they were teaming with Kenan Thompson to revive All That, the beloved sketch show that launched the careers of Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Nick Cannon, and Amanda Bynes. On Thursday, the network revealed that Mitchell and fellow original cast members Lori Beth Denberg and Josh Server, who were all a part of the debuting cast in 1994 and remained with the show for years, will guest-star in the reboot’s premiere episode, debuting this summer, helping to usher in the new cast.

Server, Denberg, and Mitchell, will guest star in the


See the first look photos of the original All That cast members reunited at the show's first table read above and below, fresh out the box, via EW.com and E! News!

Executive produced by Thompson, Mitchell and Kevin Kay, All That will feature a new group of kids, but, in addition to returning cast members, it will also revive some classic sketches like Good Burger, Vital Information, and Loud Librarian. The new cast of seven kids will be revealed at a later date.

Jermaine Fowler is serving as consulting producer on the All That revival.


The original All That ran from 1994-2005 on Nickelodeon. The sketched comedy series helped launch the careers of Thompson, Mitchell, Denberg, Server, Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon, Gabriel Iglesias and Jamie Lynn Spears, among others.

The return of All That was announced in February 2019 and it's just one of the many revivals in the works at the kid-focused network. A new Rugrats series and movie is in production, as is a new Are You Afraid of the Dark? movie and miniseries.

"We have a laser focus on who kids are today, and what they want, so we are making a wider variety of shows and series for them, and we're working with brand-new kinds of talent and producers," Nickelodeon's president Brian Robbins said in a statement when the reboots were announced. "We have a new creative team in place and a renewed energy that we're harnessing to bring the buzz back to Nick."

The news follows Kenan recently surprising kid rapper Young Dylan with a guest spot on the All That reboot whilst appearing on The Ellen Show.

Talking about the revival earlier this year, Thompson told Page Six: “I think all the old cast members should come support the new cast members. That’s just how it should go,” he told us.

Former cast member Danny Tamberelli (The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Figure It Out) told Page Six of the revival, “I think it’s awesome!” He also said he would love to be part of the series if asked. “It was one of the best times of my life,” he said.

The show is set to premiere in summer 2019.
