Nick Jr. Spain to Host Peppa Pig Weekend, June 6-7

Nick Jr. Spain (España) will host a oink-tastic Peppa Pig Weekend, featuring two three-hour marathons of the best episodes of the popular animated preschool series, airing on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June 2020 from 10.50h, respectively!


From neeo:

La cerdita más adorable llega a Nick Jr. este fin de semana con el Gran maratón de Peppa Pig

Peppa, George y todos sus amigos están más que preparados para revivir junto a los más peques sus emocionantes aventuras; por eso, el sábado y domingo a partir de las 10:50h, Nick Jr. emitirá un maratón que incluirá una selección de los mejores episodios de la serie.

El primer fin de semana del mes, la cerdita más famosa de la televisión toma las riendas de Nick Jr. en el Gran Maratón de Peppa Pig: un súper maraton de 3 horas para cada día del finde en el que, a partir de las 10:50h, los niños podrán disfrutar de episodios como en el que Peppa gana el primer premio en el sorteo de la escuela y que es nada más y nada menos que… ¡un globo aerostático!

En uno de los episodios del maratón, Peppa y George se ponen a pintar, y con la ayuda de Papá, mezclan varias pinturas y terminan haciendo un bonito cuadro de un cerezo. Todo parece ir muy bien hasta que aparecen los patos y deciden correr por encima de la pintura, ¡y del cuadro!

En otra ocasión, la hierba ha crecido tanto que la pelota de Peppa y George se pierde. Por suerte, el Abuelo tiene un fantástico cortacésped motorizado y consigue dejarlo cortito y brillante de nuevo. ¡Por fin Peppa y George pueden ver la pelota y volver a jugar en el césped!

Pero eso no es todo, pues en el gran maratón tampoco podían faltar episodios como en el que Peppa gana el primer premio en un sorteo de la escuela: ¡un viaje en globo aerostático!. Mamá, Papá, George y Peppa suben a bordo y disfrutan del vuelo hasta que, de repente, el globo queda atrapado en un árbol. ¿Conseguirán bajar al suelo?

Sábado 6 y domingo 7 desde las 10.50h

Daniel Knauf Talks 'The Astronauts' in New Interview

Television writer-producer Daniel Knauf (Carnivàle, The Blacklist) recently spoke to Ricochet about his upcoming Nickelodeon series The Astronauts!


Knauf began in health insurance and wrote his way onto HBO with his groundbreaking series, Carnivàle. Since then he has written and produced The Blacklist and Spartacus: Blood and Sand among other projects. His latest series is The Astronauts for Nickelodeon, in which he serves as the show's Executive producer, writer and showrunner.

In The Astronauts, the spaceship Odyssey II is set to launch to investigate a mysterious asteroid passing by Earth. A group of kids who gathered to watch the lift-off sneak onto the empty ship with their parent’s security clearance before the event, and accidentally initiate the launch sequence. Blasting off into space with no proper training, a malfunctioning onboard AI system, and their parents watching from Earth, the kids embark on a journey of survival using only their smarts and friendship as tools.

In the interview, Knauf talks about his writing process, the entertainment business, his hopes for the new series, and how Nickelodeon is the best entertainment company he's ever worked with.


During the interview, Knauf revealed that The Astronauts will be "surprisingly dark", with Samy (Miya Cech, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Always Be My Maybe), who, following in her mother's footsteps becomes the de-facto commander of the ship, telling her crew that they'll have to work together, otherwise they'll die in the second episode. The series is shot over two soundstages, and will be more like a dramedy rather than a comedy - although there'll be serious moments, viewers can also expect to see funny circumstances and characters say humorous lines.

Knauf also revealed that the show will have a more commercial space program "Elon Musk/SpaceX" vibe rather than a NASA one. In the series, the ship the kids are stranded on is a former cargo ship repurposed for a new mission. Knauf promises that viewers have never see a ship like this before!

In the interview, Knauf also revealed that Nickelodeon had originally planned to premiere The Astronauts in August, however, due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the release date for The Astronauts will probably now be September/October - however, it could even December.

The cast and crew managed to film four episodes The Astronauts before production had to be shut down due to COVID-19, with filming slated to recommence in July. However, the special effects artists on the show have been busy during the lockdown making all the special effects for the series.

Listen to Ricochet's interview with Daniel Knauf on Apple Podcasts!

Fans can find out more about Daniel Knauf and the projects he's worked on - including bibles for "unseen" shows that didn't make it to air, at Knauf.tv.

In The Astronauts, the group traveling together through space are: Samantha “Samy” Sawyer-Wei, played by Miya Cech (Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Always Be My Maybe); Elliott Combs, played by Bryce Gheisar (Wonder, A Dog’s Purpose); Martin Taylor, played by Keith L. Williams (Good Boys, The Last Man on Earth); Doria Taylor, played by Kayden Grace Swan (A Black Lady Sketch Show); and Will Rivers, played by Ben Daon (Child’s Play). Matilda, the ship’s onboard AI system is voiced by Paige Howard (The Employer, Adventureland).


The Astronauts is executive produced by Imagine Entertainment Chairmen Brian Grazer and Ron Howard and Imagine Kids+Family President Stephanie Sperber. Executive producer Daniel Knauf (Carnivàle, The Blacklist) also serves as writer and showrunner. The series is directed by DGA Award nominee Dean Israelite (Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Power Rangers movie, Project Almanac) who also serves as an executive producer, Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, The Orville), and Marcus Stokes (Criminal Minds, The Flash, 911). Will Davis serves as creative executive for Imagine Kids+Family.

Production of The Astronauts for Nickelodeon is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Scripted Content for Nickelodeon. Brian Banks serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

The Astronauts underscores a key element of Nickelodeon's content strategy, to create co-viewing opportunities for today's kids and parents who increasingly use TV time as family time and are looking for entertainment options holding appeal for everyone. Nick's new content slate is informed by insights into today's kids, who: are the most diverse generation ever and expect to see themselves authentically represented in media and in the world around them; want to make a positive difference in the world as they grow up; consider social media stars as their top role models, alongside their parents; and increasingly meet their much-desired need for family time by co-viewing entertainment content together.

From Parentology:

BLUE’S CLUES & YOU! CELEBRATES DVD RELEASE WITH VIRTUAL PLAY DATES, PODCAST

Since she first appeared on the hit kids’ show Blue’s Clues back in 1996, Blue the puppy has been helping little ones laugh, play and solve mysteries. Now, Blue and her buddies are back in Nickelodeon’s update of the classic show, Blue’s Clues & You!, coming to DVD June 2. With the help of her new pal Josh Dela Cruz, with appearances from former Blue’s Clues hosts Steve and Joe, Blue is once again inviting kids to break out their Handy Dandy Notebooks and check their mail.

New host Josh Dela Cruz tells Parentology that the original show had a big presence in his family when he was young.

“In the mornings we would watch Blue’s Clues together,” Dela Cruz says, “and that is when my sister and I first learned about the magic of the show. We would sing the songs together — we would sing ‘Mailtime’ together.”

Josh says that song in particular helped him realize his love for singing and performing. “I thought that [original host] Steve was doing an impression of an opera singer when he went, ‘Maaaiiill!’,” he says, singing the famous final note of the song. “So that’s what I would do. I would continue to pretend to be an opera singer, and that’s what got me into chorus and then, later, into acting.”

To celebrate the Blue’s Clues & You DVD, Blue, Josh, and the gang will be getting together to host virtual playdates and podcasts for kids and parents to enjoy during the quarantine. This bonus material is all a part of Nickelodeon’s #KidsTogether campaign, which aims to provide fun and educational activities for kids and families in quarantine.

“I cannot imagine what it’s like to be a parent right now,” Dela Cruz said, noting the difficulty of working from home and parenting at the same time. “I am so happy that Nickelodeon is [launching] this #KidsTogether initiative and creating different forms of content across many platforms.”

Blue’s Clues & You! virtual play dates will give little ones the opportunity to spend even more time singing, playing, and solving mysteries with Blue and Josh. The 10-minute segments air live and go up on Nick Jr.’s YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram at 9 am EST every Tuesday this June.

“We were presented with an amazing opportunity to create new content for kids that are at home experiencing this quarantine,” says Dela Cruz. He hopes that the play dates will not only help kids deal with the quarantine, but also “create activities for them for them to do, so that parents can also have a little bit longer of a break in between our shows to either do what they need to, or just take a mental break.”

Nickelodeon will also be rolling out the Blues Clues & You!: Bedtime Stories podcast, featuring Dela Cruz as he reads comforting tales to help kids and parents wind down at night.

“It’s a really cool way to start in a very familiar, exciting place and slowly drift into this really soft, restful, relaxing state,” he says.

For Dela Cruz, this bonus material is a way of thanking parents for all the hard work they are doing as the COVID-19 crisis continues. “I’m so enamored, and I’m so thankful, that parents are stepping up to the plate more than ever in such confusing times,” he says. “They are really the superheroes of the moment — them, and our first responders, and all of the people that are working so that we can stay at home.”

The Blue’s Clues & You DVD premieres on June 2 with four episodes, plus bonus features including “Josh & Blue’s VLOG!,” American sign language words of the week, and more.

Meanwhile, “Tuesday Blue’s Day” will continue through June with airings of the show on Nick Jr. and virtual playdates, while Blue’s Clues & You!: Bedtime Stories will come to listeners in the near future.

Bond with your children with online Nickelodeon cartoon drawing tutorial

The tutorials are streaming on Twitch this summer

Nickelodeon has a new way you can enjoy its cartoons that puts the power in your hands — and it could be a great way to bond with your children.

The Viacom-owned network recently released a list of drawing tutorials being posted on the video streaming service Twitch throughout the summer.

Initially drawn live on Instagram in April, each tutorial will be streamed on Nick’s Twitch channel on Wednesdays or Thursdays now through June 10. Producers, storyboard artists and creators of hit shows such as “It’s Pony” and “Spongebob SquarePants” are behind the streams. Each segment guides viewers on how to draw keys characters from Nick’s programs. The Twitch streaming kicked off May 13 with “Big Nate” supervising producer Jim Mortensen. Mortensen, who has worked on “Kung Fu Panda” and “The Fairly Odd Parents,” took viewers along to draw classic Nick characters. They include Jimmy Neutron from “The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius,” Angelica from “Rugrats” and Rocko from “Rocko’s Modern Life.”
For a complete lineup of what’s to come, glimpse the Instagram post [above].

While Nickelodeon is known for its animated series, it has live-action programming, too.One such show, “Young Dylan,” is from Atlanta filmmaker Tyler Perry. The series debuted in February and stars child rapper Dylan Gilmer, who grew famous thanks in part to an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” performing as Young Dylan.
