'Zokie of Planet Ruby' Lands on Nickelodeon UK

Nickelodeon UK & Ireland will premiere Zokie of Planet Ruby on Tuesday 16th April 2024, with new episodes of Nickelodeon's brand new animated series airing Mondays-Thursdays at 4:00pm on Nick UK & Eire!

Zokie of Planet Ruby

In Zokie of Planet Ruby (26 episodes), quirky vlogger Ruby discovers her only channel follower is a space alien from Planet Pudge named Zokie Sparkleby, and they quickly become BFFs. Filming daily adventures, Ruby teaches Zokie about her version of Earth and Zokie works to control his magic.

Zokie of Planet Ruby was originally announced during Nickelodeon Upfront 2021 under the working title ZJ Sparkleton. This was later changed to Zokie Sparkleby. The series made its debut on Amazon Prime on Sunday 31st December 2023.


Zokie of Planet Ruby is produced by Nelvana, a world-leading international producer, distributor and licensor of children’s animated and live-action content.

Zokie of Planet Ruby is created by Brian Morante (Penguins of Madagascar, Breadwinners, SpongeBob SquarePants). Mike Geiger (3 Amigonauts, Winston Steinburger and Sir Dudley Ding Dong) is the director and Lynne Warner (Corn & Peg, The Most Magnificent Thing) is the supervising producer for Nelvana.

"The show I created at Nickelodeon just dropped on Amazon Prime.  So many people poured so much heart and humor and weirdness into this show," said Morante on X/Twitter, adding: "Big shout out to everyone at Nelvana where we produced this thing, and @atomiccartoons [Atomic Cartoons] who did an amazing job animating it. I'm sure we crushed some people with how much work this was to make. Also I had @mikegeiger and @optimusscotto [Scott O'Brien], @mollfrylock [Mollie Fry-Lick] helping guide this thing."
