Nickelodeon Iberia to Premiere 'Just Add Magic' on Monday 16th March 2020

Nickelodeon Iberia will be adding some sparkle to the recipe with Just Add Magic, premiering Monday 16th March 2020 at 19:40 on Nickelodeon Portugal and at 20:40h on Nickelodeon Spain (España)! In the spellbinding new U.S. live-action family television series, three best friends discover a magical cookbook that helps them uncover mysteries that span generations. Following its debut, new episodes will continue to air weekdays at 19:40 on Nickelodeon Portugal and at 20:40h on Nickelodeon España. Just Add Magic is locally titled Una pizca de magia in Spain and Uma Pitada De Magia in Portugal.


The news follows Nickelodeon acquiring the international broadcast rights to Just Add Magic and its upcoming spin-off series, Just Add Magic: Mystery City.

In Just Add Magic, Kelly Quinn and her two BFF's, Darbie and Hannah, stumble upon her grandmother's mysterious cookbook in the attic and discover some far from ordinary recipes. When the Shut'em Up Shortcake silences Kelly's pesky little brother and the Healing Hazelnut Tart heals Darbie's ankle, the girls discover they have the power of magic.

In the lively town of Saffron Falls, teenage girls Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah are best friends who love cooking. While making a cake for Kelly's grandma's (who has a mysterious illness and cannot talk) birthday, the girls use a magical recipe using an ancient cookbook that they found in the attic. The recipes they find inside have strange names like "Shut'em Up Shortcake" and "Hazelnut Healing Tart" and require unusual ingredients, such as "Cedronian vanilla" and "Taurian thyme". The girls go to Mama P.’s shop to get the ingredients for the “Shut ‘em Up Shortcake” and when no one has any idea what they need, Mama P. reveals that she knows what the ingredients are, and she gives them the Cedronian Vanilla. They bake the cake, but when Kelly's brother Buddy and Hannah eat a bite of the shortcake and find themselves unable to talk, the three friends realise they are dealing with magic spells. At the same time as Hannah and Buddy's silence, Darbie cannot stop talking. Because of this, they also realise the spells come with a consequence.


Throughout season one, Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah investigate the magical recipes and face the temptations of using magic to help overcome the everyday challenges of being middle school girls. They conclude that Mama P. knows about the magic because she appears to have extensive knowledge of magical ingredients. Furthermore, they discover that the creepy neighbour Ms. Silvers also has a connection to magic after she warns them to stay away from it, telling them that it is dangerous. The girls realise that they are the protectors of the magical cookbook and that there were many others before them, three of whom were Mama P., Ms. Silvers and Kelly's grandma Becky. Among all this, Kelly has one overriding goal: to find the magical recipe that will fix her grandmother's mysterious illness, even if it means crossing creepy Mama P. or scary Ms. Silvers. As the girls work together they find out that Kelly's grandma Becky is under a curse, and so are Mama P. (whose curse does not let her leave Saffron Falls) and Ms. Silvers (whose curse does not let her play the piano in public). The girls, while trying to free Grandma Quinn of her curse, uncover various mysteries of the past.

Nickelodeon estrena este lunes su nueva serie «Una pizca de magia»

Una pizca de magia aterriza en marzo en Nickelodeon para ofrecer a todos los niños las recetas más originales y mágicas que se puedan imaginar. La serie cuenta las aventuras de Kelly y sus dos mejores amigas, Darbie y Hannah, quienes un día por casualidad encuentran el libro de recetas de la abuela de Kelly. Las tres deciden utilizar una de las recetas para hacer el pastel Chitón, pero cuando el hermano de Kelly prueba el pastel…se queda misteriosamente callado. Así, las tres amigas se dan cuenta de que el libro de recetas ¡tiene efectos mágicos!

A partir de ese momento, Kelly y sus amigas se pondrán a cocinar recetas para solucionar (o empeorar) cada problema que se les ponga en el camino. Como cuando pierden al perro de sus vecinos, y deciden preparar una fondue de Objetos Perdidos para encontrarlo, pero lo que consiguen es recuperar todas las cosas que llevaban extraviadas varios años, llevándolas de vuelta con sus dueños. O como cuando cocinan unas Trufas de la Pura Verdad y accidentalmente, la madre de Kelly se come una, lo que hace que no pueda parar de decir la verdad ¡todo el rato!
