'Danger Force' Preparing to Restart Production

Danger Force director Mike Caron has revealed on Instagram that, after having to halt production on Danger Force season one earlier this year due to the global COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, production on the hit Nickelodeon series is about to begin again!


Update (9/11) - Filming on Danger Force will resume filming next week, beginning with episode #107!



"Ah, geez... we’re going to actually have to start writing new scripts now," Danger Force creator and executive producer Christopher J. Nowak replied.

Although production on the main Danger Force series has been shut down, the cast and crew of the show have kept fans entertained by making a "virtually produced" content. In April, the cast of Danger Force, along with special guest Frankie Grande, who returned as the fan-favorite villain, Frankini, got together over the internet for a one-off special, "Quaran-kini", which aired on Nickelodeon in May. This was followed up by a series of remotely produced “minisodes” (five episodes), which picked up directly following the events of the “Quaran-kini”. The series of "minisodes" aired on Nickelodeon during August.

Danger Force filmed 6 episodes before lockdown hit, and has 6 episodes left to finish its first season. The last episode to air, "Chapa's Crush" ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, with Henry Hart/Kid Danger (Jace Norman) making a return.


In Danger Force, four kids–Chapa (Havan Flores), Miles (Terrence Little Gardenhigh), Mika (Dana Heath) and Bose (Luca Luhan)–are recruited to attend Swellview Academy for the Gifted (SW.A.G. for short), a school conceived by Captain Man (Cooper Barnes) and brought to life by Schwoz (Michael D. Cohen), after having been accidentally mutated in the fight to save Swellview. While there, the kids must learn to harness their frequently troublesome and sometimes uncontrollable superpowers as they begin to fight crime. Despite the dangerous circumstances of their new lives, the superheroes must keep their real identities a secret from both from their families and the villains who are out to destroy them. Winston Story and Carrie Barrett return to reprise their roles of KLVY news anchors Trent Overunder and Mary Gaperman, respectively.

The series is a spin-off from Henry Danger.

Since its March 28 premiere, Nickelodeon’s latest live-action hit Danger Force has consistently posted double-digit gains in Live + 3 viewing. Most recently, a new episode (April 18, 2020) set a series record in Live + 3 posting a +75% increase with Kids 6-11 versus Live + SameDay viewership.

A second season has yet to be announced.

The series is about to launch on Nickelodeon channels internationally.

The series is created and executive-produced by Christopher J. Nowak (Henry Danger) and produced by Henry Danger stars Cooper Barnes and Jace Norman.
