Nickelodeon to Premiere 'Spyders' in Australia and New Zealand on Monday 2nd November 2020

Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand will premiere Nickelodeon Spyders, Nickelodeon International's brand new live-action series on Monday 2nd November 2020 at 7:43pm (AEST)! Following launch, new episodes will continue to air Mondays to Thursdays at 8:00pm (AEST).


​"While spending a summer-long family vacation by the lake, siblings Tommy, Nikki, and Daniel Fisher discover that their seemingly boring parents are actually daring undercover spies, who are chasing a devious villain aiming to dry up the country's water supply. When the siblings realize their parents' mission is in jeopardy, they form a secret task force called THE SPYDERS in order to help them out. Tommy, 12, a cute, irresistible goofball; Nikki, 15, a well-meaning but impetuous leader, and Daniel, 16, a sedentary, anxiety-ridden computer nerd, use their brains, charm, audacity and unbridled enthusiasm to outwit and outsmart the villain, who has so far eluded their parents. Will the untrained, blundering Spyders succeed where mom and dad failed?"

Spyders (stylised as SpiderZ; originally titled The Covurts) focuses on Anna and Noah Fisher, (portrayed by Nati Kluger and Kobi Maimon (The Greenhouse), respectively) highly highly skilled undercover agents who work for a ECCO – Environmental Counter Crime Organization, and are tasked with fighting criminals who endanger nature or the environment. Little do they know that their three kids – Daniel (16; played by Amit Hechter, Dog House), Nikki (15; played by Kim Or Azulay) and Tommy (12; portrayed by Yonathan Gottlieb, Dog House, Forever) – have discovered their secret occupation and have formed a task force of their own, named Spyders


Nickelodeon's Spyders
is the first original co-production between Nickelodeon International and Israeli Nutz Productions—the subsidiary production arm of Ananey Communications Group—together with Israeli cable network HOT.

Nickelodeon has ordered 40 x 22-minute episodes, which will be distributed to Nickelodeon's international audiences spanning 170+ countries and territories via the brand’s more than 100 channels and branded blocks. The series made its world debut on TeenNick Israel on Wednesday 18th March 2020.

Spyders is created by Michal Cooper Keren, Tom Riles, David Guest and Patrick Quinn. The head writer is Israeli screenwriter Michal Cooper Keren, the creator of Nickelodeon Israel's Spell Keepers. The series is an original co-production between Nickelodeon International, Nutz Productions and Ananey Communications Group.

Michal Cooper Keren, who created Nickelodeon Israel's Spell Keepers, is also the series' head writer. The series is an original co-production between Nickelodeon International, Nutz Productions and Ananey Communications Group.

The series commenced filming in Israel during summer 2019 and wrapped in December the same year.

“After a long history of collaboration with Ananey, we are so excited to kick off our first co-production together with our partners in Israel,” said Nina Hahn, the Senior Vice President (SVP) of International Production and Development for Nickelodeon, when the show was first announced at global TV and digital content market MIPTV in April 2018. “We can’t wait for young fans around the world to meet The Spyders!”

Orly Atlas-Katz, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) OF Ananey Communications said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Nickelodeon International. I am certain that with their vast experience in content for kids, HOT's programming expertise and our high-end productions abilities, this show will be something to look forward to."

Ananey is an Israeli content producer and pay-TV provider that serves as the Israeli licensor of several of Viacom’s biggest brands, including Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and MTV, and produces both local and international original content.

Under the partnership, Nickelodeon has become Israel's No. 1 children's channel and, alongside Nick Jr., reaches 49 percent of the youth audience, due in large part to Ananey’s original local productions for kids and teens.

The greenlight of The Spyders comes on the heels of Viacom purchasing a minority stake in Ananey Communications Group in 2017.

Nutz entered a co-pro deal with Bunim/Murray Productions’ (Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze) new BMP Kids division on the youth prank show Gotcha, which bowed on Nick Israel last December. Other popular Nutz series currently airing on Nick Israel include Spell Keepers, Bed & Biscuit and The Hood.

Here's Why People Think the Voice of Squidward Died — Twice!

It's a sordid part of working in the media, but it's almost always big news whenever a celebrity or notable person passes away. There are even teams of obituary writers who pre-write the mini-eulogies and have them locked and loaded prior to a person's inevitable passing so they can run it once they kick the bucket.

Source: Getty.

And while Rodger Bumpass, the person who voices Squidward Tentacles on Nickelodeon's beloved animated series SpongeBob SquarePants isn't as big a name as Sean Connery, outlets did think he died not once, but twice before, and reported as such.

So is the voice of Squidward Rodger Bumpass alive or dead?

It's a pretty simple mistake: there's more than one Rodger Bumpass in this world. While I don't know what it's like to share a name with someone (although my name backwards is a famous actor, making teachers to get my name back-to-front growing up), Rodger Bumpass shares his name with a Nova Scotia man, something he learned while travelling to a comic convention.

Source: Getty.

The convention manager called the airline to see whether or not Rodger was on board for the flight after hearing the news that Bumpass (the other Bumpass) had passed away. 

When Rodger heard what had happened, he said to the organizer of the convention: "Did you ask the airline if I was in the cabin or the cargo hold?" 

Then, two months later, Rodger was mistaken for dead yet again. A news radio station had reported that the voice of Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants had passed away, but it was another Rodger from San Diego who had perished.

He had to call the news station and explain that he hadn't died, which he said was a "surreal" experience.

Source: Getty.

"I called them and tried to explain logically that because I am talking to you, I’m not dead and they ran a retraction and then they sent me the videos of both news stories which is very surreal," he explained at the time. "No one gets that window of people saying what they will actually say when they think you are truly dead. I was very touched."

He joked that when he actually does pass away, it's going to be difficult for news agencies to actually report on his passing, because, "No one will believe it. Will you look at that? Rodger Bumpass died again. Who knew he was a cat?"

The Little Rock Arkansas native was actually classmates with KTHV anchor Craig O'Neill (real name Randy Hankins), and the two grew up as aspiring comedians.

He's had roles in films: Escape from New York as well as TV programs like Hart to Hart, but his most recognizable role is certainly as the frustrated octopus artist who works at a burger joint in SpongeBob SquarePants.

Rodger has been the voice of Squidward since 1999 — when the show first premiered on Nickelodeon.

And he is set to voice the character in the upcoming SpongeBob movie Sponge on the Run, and prequel series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, which follows the younger version of the Bikini Bottom bunch at summer camp.

Producer Aaron Waltke Talks About Working on 'Star Trek: Prodigy'

Indiana native Aaron Waltke is a producer and writer for Nickelodeon's upcoming CG-animated Star Trek series, Star Trek: Prodigy. In a new interview with Trek Report, Waltke discussed his experiences working on a Star Trek series.

Image: Trek Report.

Star Trek: Prodigy is one of my favorite things I’ve ever worked on,” Waltke told Trek Report. Waltke had previously worked with Prodigy creators Kevin and Dan Hageman as a co-executive producer on Wizards: Tales of Arcadia. and collaborated with them on Trollhunters. Coming onto the Star Trek scene to write for Prodigy seems to be an enjoyable challenge for him, as Waltke said, “As a hardcore Trek fan, it honestly felt less like writing a script and more like breathing.”

"I’ve internalized so much lore from its myriad series over the years that I instinctively know how the Heisenberg compensator in a transporter works and can easily write an essay comparing the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition and the Great Material Continuum to ancient Egyptian cosmology. Now I get to tell my own stories in that universe, and the opportunity to contribute to such a rich mythology that’s been so influential in my life has been a tremendous honor."

While he couldn’t share many details on what audiences can expect to see in Star Trek: Prodigy, Waltke did take a moment to talk about what working on Star Trek (and writing for Captain Janeway) means to him. Feeling satisfied that Prodigy “honors classic Trek”, Waltke said the new series “also provides an entry point for new audiences to be introduced to the world of the Federation and its aspirations for an idealistic future, even when facing adversity.”

Waltke grew up just outside of Bloomington, Indiana, the future birthplace of Star Trek: Voyager’s Captain Kathryn Janeway, who will take the lead again in Star Trek: Prodigy (the town unveiled a statue honoring Janeway earlier this month!)

Having the opportunity to help bring the Janeway character back to life brings a special meaning to the project. “Writing the return of our beloved Voyager captain feels oddly iconic, like a homecoming for me,” Waltke said. "When I joined Star Trek: Prodigy, it was a lot of fun doing a deep dive into the last fifty years of the franchise in search of inspiration, especially with every film and television iteration available on demand. My personal mission working on the show was to always instill a sense of wonder, optimism, and adventure — what I remember so fondly experiencing the shows during my own childhood and adolescence. I was also a bit obsessed with getting my treknobabble right — it’s essentially a second language, and there is a lot of it to pull from."

Aside from discussing Star Trek: Prodigy, Waltke spoke about starting his career, moving from Indiana to Los Angeles, the differences for writing for 2D and CGI shows, his first "contact" with the franchise, and what it’s really like to be in the writer’s room. You can read the full interview for yourself by visiting Trek.Report.
