Nickelodeon to Premiere 'Rock Island Mysteries' in Austria and Switzerland on Oct. 17

Puzzles, Problem Solving And Preteen Adventures. Rock Island Mysteries To Make A Splash in Austria and Switzerland

Brand New Australian Series, Rock Island Mysteries
To Premiere on Nickelodeon in October 2022


Shot on the sun-drenched beaches and jungle-like hinterlands of Australia’s Gold Coast, Rock Island Mysteries (20 episodes) is a mystery drama comedy series that follows the adventures of 14-year-old Taylor and her friends as they explore the secrets of the beautiful and mysterious Rock Island.

Produced by Fremantle Media, the new teen series is set to premiere on Nickelodeon channels in Austria (Österreich) and Switzerland (Schweiz) on Monday 17th October 2022! Rock Island Mysteries is locally titled Rock Islands Rätsel.


Featuring a diverse main cast anchored by Australian leads, the series follows the adventures of Taylor Young (Alexa Curtis), a charismatic and energetic leader, and her tight-knit group of friends – Nori Harlow (Noah Akhigbe), Meesha Rai (Inessa Tan), Ellis Grouch (Ryan Yeates) and step-sister Lila Gray (Izellah Connelly) – as they explore the mysteries of the island on which they live, fuelled by Taylor’s fascination with her Uncle Charlie’s disappearance, and determination to find out what happened to him. Joining the young cast are adults Kimberley Joseph, Craig Horner, Monette Lee, Annabelle Stephenson, and Lucas Linehan.

Every episode sees the gang tackle a new mystery, spurred on by Taylor’s irrepressible desire to uncover the inexplicable side of the Island and the true whereabouts of Uncle Charlie.


A tight and sometimes chaotic team of contrasting personalities, the gang are all drawn into Taylor’s quests, each member bringing something unique to the mix, be it Nori’s witty and rational practicality, Meesha’s gutsy, never-say-die attitude, Ellis’ book smarts and technical know-how, or sassy Lila’s loyal and sisterly devotion to Taylor.

"Taylor and her group of friends are living what seems to be the perfect island life with sun-soaked beaches and jungle-like hinterlands. But underneath that perfect facade lies a hotbed of cryptic riddles, thrilling legends, and unexplainable mysteries waiting to be unravelled. Fuelled by her fascination with her Uncle Charlie’s disappearance five years earlier, Taylor is the determined leader in pursuit of the truth. Alongside Taylor, there’s Nori, a wisecracking rebel who’s got an answer for everything; Meesha, a toughas-nails sports nut who’s up for anything; Ellis, a hypochondriac who’s the brains of the group; and Taylor’s stepsister Lila, an aspiring vlogger who adores her older sister. With a determination to leave no stone unturned, the five best friends jump head first into a series of intriguing mysteries and nail-biting adventures through ancient caves, remote islands and eerie jungles."

"Die vierzehnjährige Taylor und ihre besten Freunde sind entschlossen, jedes Geheimnis zu lüften und jedes ungrlöste Rätsel auf Rock Island zu untersuchen, während sie ihren Onkel Charlie suchen, der vor fünf Jahren von der Insel verschwand."


Rock Island Mysteries was previously announced as Taylor’s Island and is a Fremantle Media production for Paramount Australia and Nickelodeon International, with major production funding from Screen Australia and support from Screen Queensland. The series was produced at Village Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast.

Rock Island Mysteries made its global premiere in Australia on Monday, 2 May at 5pm on 10 Shake and 10 Play. The series then debuted across Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand on Monday 6th June 2022 and will broadcast to global audiences on Nickelodeon International later in the year.

The series was created by Matthew Cooke, Vincent Lund and Michael Ford. Writers are Stephen Vagg, Sam Carroll, Alix Beane, David Hannam, Marisa Nathar, Natesha Somasundaram, Trent Roberts, Jessica Brookman and Hannah Samuel. Tenika Smith, Jovita O’Shaughnessy and Evan Clarry direct.

London, October 14th, 2022 – Outright Games, the leading global publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, in partnership with Paramount Consumer Products and Nickelodeon, today has launched Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova.

Play as fan favourites Dal R’El and Gwyndala in solo-play or 2-player co-op, to explore the brand-new alien worlds of Orisi, Mirios and Taresse and make first contact with their alien inhabitants. Learn the undiscovered civilisation’s culture and discover their secrets, while navigating the planets’ different hostile environments by playing puzzles and challenges.

Based on the hit animated series Star Trek: Prodigy, developed by Emmy® Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman (“Trollhunters'' and “Ninjago”), the show is the first Star Trek series aimed at younger audiences. The show follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search of a better future.

Nickelodeon Adapting Isla Fisher's 'Marge in Charge' Books Into New Series

Nickelodeon is reportedly adapting Marge in Charge, the best-selling series of children's books by Australian actor and author Isla Fisher (Bay CityHome and Away) into a brand new series!


Update (7/25) - Isla Fisher has reportedly confirmed that she is adapting her novels for Nickelodeon! In an interview, the writer and actor said: "I am adapting my books for Nickelodeon. I have a great team. It's great to meet animators with incredibly creative ideas. I am currently writing a different children's book."

Update (10/14/22) - Isla Fisher has reportedly confirmed that she is adapting her novels for Nickelodeon! In a new interview to talk about her latest book, Mazy the Movie Star, the writer and actor said: “I am making a TV show right now for my Marge In Charge series with Nickelodeon so I have hopes for Mazy’s.”

First published in 2016, the Marge in Charge revolve around a mischievous babysitter with rainbow hair who tends to bend the rules. The official synopsis for the first book in the series reads: "Meet Marge, the mischievous babysitter with rainbow hair who loves to make a mess and bend the rules . . . At dinnertime Chef Marge cooks up chocolate soup, and at school Marge the Muscian conducts a chaotic concert in the playground! Jake and Jemima have brilliant fun with their new babysitter, but will they manage to tick off all the jobs on Mummy's list? Three fresh, fun and family-friendly MARGE stories from A-list actress, mother, writer and comedian Isla Fisher."

Following the success of the first Marge in Charge book, Fisher subsequently authored three follow-ups: Marge and the Pirate Baby, in 2017, Marge and the Great Train Rescue, also in 2017, and Marge in Charge and the Stolen Treasure, in 2018.

Although the news is currently unconfirmed by Nickelodeon, it does fit in with the network's current commissioning strategy to adapt books for the small and big screen. Over the past year, Nickelodeon has ordered series and movies inspired by Big NateReal Pigeons Fight Crime and Phoebe and Her Unicorn.
