'The Casagrandes' Named 'Best Animated Series' at Ninth Annual Screen Nova Scotia Awards

Screen Nova Scotia named the third season of Nickelodeon's hit animated series The Casagrandes as Best Animated Series at the ninth annual Screen Nova Scotia Awards!


The Screen Nova Scotia Awards celebrate the incredible talent, creativity, and passion that are the trademarks of Nova Scotia’s screen industry. This year's event was held on Saturday, May 13th, in the Schooner Ballroom at Casino Nova Scotia in front of a sold-out crowd of industry members and supporters.

Produced by Jam Filled Entertainment for Nickelodeon, The Casagrandes showcases the work of Nova Scotian animators. The series follows the dynamics of a multi-generational Latino family that lives under one roof!

A full list of Screen Nova Scotia Awards 2023 winners can be found here.

The Casagrandes centers on Ronnie Anne Santiago (Izabella Alvarez), who moved to Great Lakes City with her brother Bobby (Carlos PenaVega) and her mother Maria (Sumalee Montano). She is now living near her extended family, including her grandparents Hector (Ruben Garfias) and Rosa (Sonia Manzano), her aunt Frida (Roxana Ortega) and uncle Carlos (Carlos Alazraqui), and her cousins Carlota, C.J., Carl, and Carlitos. Rubiner is executive producer and Puga serves as co-executive producer. Award-winning cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz is a consulting producer.

The Casagrandes debuted in 2019, and aired for a total of 60 episodes over three seasons, as well a raft of animated shorts as part of Nick's Shorts Showcase by the end of its run in September 2022. Although the series isn't being renewed for a fourth season, characters from The Casagrandes will continue to appear on The Loud House, the show it was spun-off from.

The Casagrandes stars Izabella Alvarez (Westworld) as 11-year-old Ronnie Annie, Carlos PenaVega (Big Time Rush) as her brother Bobby and Sumalee Montano (Nashville) as her mom Maria. Alvarez, PenaVega and Montano bring these characters to life, alongside: Carlos Alazraqui (Rocko's Modern Life, The Fairly OddParents, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years) as Carlos, “Tio;” Roxana Ortega (The League) as Frida, “Tia;” Alexa PenaVega (Spy Kids) as Carlota; Jared Kozak (Born this Way) as CJ; Alex Cazares (The Boss Baby: Back in Business) as Carl; Ruben Garfias (East Los High) as Hector, “Abuelo;” and Sonia Manzano (Sesame Street) as Rosa, “Abuela.” Additionally, Eugenio Derbez (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) gives voice to Dr. Santiago, a physician living and working in Peru, who is Ronnie Anne and Bobby’s father.

Ronnie Anne’s new apartment building holds new friends and neighbors, including: Ken Jeong (Dr. Ken) as Stanley Chang; Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina the Teenage Witch) as Becca Chang; Leah Mei Gold (Legion) as 12-year-old Sid Chang, Ronnie Anne’s new friend; and Lexi Sexton as Adelaide Chang, Sid’s 6-year-old little sister.

The Casagrandes launched on Nickelodeon in October 2019. The show was nominated for Outstanding Children's Animated Series and won Outstanding Main Title for an Animated Program at the 2020 Daytime Emmy Awards. Ronnie Anne and her family were introduced in The Loud House. Both series have been translated into successful graphic novel and podcast series. The Loud House and The Casagrandes are available to stream on Paramount+.
