NICKELODEON INTRODUCES ALL-NEW ANIMATED SERIES WYLDE PAK, PREMIERING FRIDAY, JUNE 6

Official Trailer, Key Art and Additional Voice Cast Members Revealed Today

Share it: @Nickelodeon @NickelodeonFamily #WyldePak

BURBANK, Calif. – May 1, 2025 – A new living situation spells laughs, adventure and growth in Nickelodeon’s original 2D-animated series, Wylde Pak, premiering on Friday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT) in the U.S. and later this year internationally. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, Wylde Pak explores the dynamics of a multigenerational and multicultural blended family as half siblings Lily and Jack learn to navigate new family dynamics under one roof for the first time.

In the half-hour premiere episode, “Best Summer Ever?,” Jack and Lily are half-siblings living on opposite ends of the world—until Jack shows up on Lily’s doorstep for the summer. Their arguing sends the family’s new grooming trailer careening through town and they must save their family’s livelihood and Halmoni, who is stuck inside.

Nickelodeon today also revealed the trailer, key art, and additional voice cast members including Gillian Jacobs (The Bear) as Alice Kelly, Jack’s biological mom and a world-renowned documentarian taking on adventures abroad and Jon Glaser (Running Point) as Chuck, the family’s happy-go-lucky and eccentric neighbor who always seems to know a guy.

Wylde Pak follows half-siblings Jack and Lily as they are pushed outside their comfort zones and learn to coexist while navigating new family dynamics, friends, and endless hijinks, all while helping run the family’s pet grooming and boarding business. With guidance from their parents and grandmother, the two will learn about each other’s previously separate lives, blended identity, vibrant culture, and the importance of family.

Wylde Pak stars previously announced Nikki Castillo (K.C. Undercover) as the voice of Lily Pak, a competitive and fun-loving 11-year-old, and Benjamin Plessala (SpongeBob: Sponge on the Run) as Jack Wylde, Lily’s 13-year-old adventurous half-brother who just came into town for the summer. Additional voices include Ben Pronsky (The Loud House) as William Wylde, Jack and Lily’s fun-loving dad, Jee Young Han (Unprisoned) as the voice of Min-Ju Pak, Lily’s energetic mom and Jack’s stepmom, and Jean Yoon (Kim’s Convenience) as the voice of Halmoni, Min’s unpredictable mom, and Lily and Jack’s caring yet stubborn grandma.

For early looks at Wylde Pak, check out the Nicktoons and The Loud House YouTube channels for more shorts and clips. Fans can also check out a full sneak peek of the premiere episode “Best Summer Ever?” beginning today.

Wylde Pak is co-created by Paul Watling (The Tiger’s Apprentice) and Kyle Marshall (The Loud House), who both serve as executive producers alongside Seonna Hong (The Wild Robot) and Conrad Vernon (Shrek). Development and production are overseen by Claudia Spinelli, Senior Vice President, TV Series Animation, Nickelodeon, and Daniel Wineman, Vice President of Original Animation Development. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

KATSEYE to Perform at Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2025

LA-based girl group KATSEYE is set to perform at Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2025, set to air live in the U.S. on Saturday, June 21, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) from Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., simulcast across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, the Nick Jr. channel, MTV2 and CMT, and will also air on Nickelodeon channels around the world within days of the live event!

Grammy^® Award-winning, multiplatinum global superstar Tyla is set to take the Slime-tastic stage as host of the biggest party this summer—Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2025—celebrating fans’ favourites from across the worlds of film, television, music, sports and more.

KATSEYE, which recently notched their first Billboard Hot 100 hit with “Gnarly,” is set to perform that feisty song at the 2025 KCAs.

KATSEYE, a Los Angeles-based girl group (Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae), has been steadily building its fanbase over the past two years. With members from the Philippines, South Korea, Switzerland and the U.S., KATSEYE is often described as a “global girl group.”

The group first formed through HYBE and Geffen Records’ The Dream Academy competition and artist development program, later chronicled in the Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.

The group received two nominations at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards: favorite K-pop dance challenge for “Touch” and favorite on screen for Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.

The group made Billboard’s 21 Under 21 list for 2025 and has been named an Artist to Watch for 2025 by VEVO, DSCVR and TIDAL.

In September, KATSEYE attended New York Fashion Week for the first time. In November, joined by the L.A. Rams Cheerleaders, they performed on the MAMA Awards at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. In December, they performed on select dates of the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball concert. This year, they were added to the performance lineups for L.A.’s Wango Tango in May and Lollapalooza, scheduled for August in Chicago.

“Gnarly” is set to appear on KATSEYE’s second EP, Beautiful Chaos, which is due June 27 via HYBE x Geffen Records. The group’s first EP, SIS (Soft Is Strong) — which featured contributions from such A-listers as Ryan Tedder, Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin — reached No. 119 on the Billboard 200.

Now, they’re the first performers announced for an awards show whose young teen fanbase will overlap to a large degree with their own EYEKON fan army.

Nickelodeon is calling the show the biggest party of the summer. It is certain to have more epic slimings than any other show. Kids’ Choice Awards 2025 will simulcast across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, the Nick Jr. channel, MTV2 and CMT, and also air on Nickelodeon channels around the world.

Leading the pack with four nominations each are Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar, followed by Jack Black, Dwayne Johnson, Selena Gomez and Jelly Roll with three apiece.

First-time nominees include Gracie Abrams, Zach Bryan, Jordan Chiles, Frankie Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Doechii, Keith Lee, Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, Shohei Ohtani and Florence Pugh, among others.

'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Set to Come to Unreal Editor in 'Fortnite' In 2026

Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to Unreal Editor in Fortnite.

Epic Games has announced that Nickelodeon's beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender will be coming back to Fortnite as part of its Unreal Editor in 2026, allowing gamers to create their own custom worlds and experiences. The news follows the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles leaping into the game using the engine last year.

Fortnite recently launched its Galactic Battle mini-season, which has featured its largest collaboration with Star Wars to date.

During the mini-season, Fortnite introduced an AI version of Darth Vader, which allows players to have full conversations with the Sith Lord in the middle of a match. It would seem as if Epic Games will be expanding this technology in the future, as it was recently announced that creators will be given new AI tools to bring characters and worlds to life through the Unreal Editor.

In a recent post on X (formally, and better known as, Twitter), Epic Games confirmed that Avatar: The Last Airbender will be coming to Fortnite for another collaboration, but it won't be the same as the first time. Instead, creators will be given tools to use in Unreal Editor that will allow them to create their own Avatar: The Last Airbender experiences in Fortnite. During the State of Unreal presentation on June 3, Epic Games said that the tools were being put in the hands of creators due to popular demand, indicating that the first collaboration between the two franchises was a major success. While Epic Games didn't announce a firm release date, it did tell players that they can expect to gain access to these tools sometime in 2026.

Prepare to master the four elements in UEFN with Avatar: The Last Airbender.

— Fortnite Creators (@FNCreate) June 3, 2025

The State of Unreal presentation was packed with information about the future of the popular battle royale and even touched on the future of Star Wars in Fortnite. While Epic Games didn't provide a firm timeline, it did state that Star Wars will also be coming to the Unreal Editor, allowing gamers to craft their own experiences using items, weapons, characters, and locations. It's part of an ambitious initiative to expand Fortnite's platform and put more control in the hands of gamers everywhere.

State of Unreal also revealed that the Unreal Editor for Fortnite will be adding a LEGO Brick Editor on June 17 where players can build objects 'brick by brick,' along with Squid Game on June 27.

Adam Beach Joins Netflix's Live-Action ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ As Hakoda For Season 3

Adam Beach (Government Cheese, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) has landed the role of Hakoda in the third and final season of Netflix‘s live-action series Avatar: The Last Airbender, sources close to production have revealed to Deadline. Hakoda is the father of Sokka (Ian Ousley) and Katara (Kiawentiio), two of the main characters in the story.

Fans of the franchise have long campaigned for Beach to play the character, and it appears the suggestion was taken to heart. Netflix declined to comment for this story.

The streaming series is a live-action adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon animated series. It follows the young “Avatar,” Aang (Gordon Cormier), who must master all four elemental powers—air, water, fire, and earth—to restore balance to the world threatened by the terrifying Fire Nation.

Beach joins the cast, which also includes Dallas Liu, Elizabeth Yu, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Daniel Dae Kim, Momona Tamada, and Thalia Tran; and Season 2 additions: Miya Cech, Chin Han, Hoa Xuande, Justin Chien, Amanda Zhou, Crystal Yu, Kelemete Misipeka, Lourdes Faberes, and Rekha Sharma. New cast members for Season 3 include Jon Jon Briones as Piandao and Tantoo Cardinal as Hama.

Production on Season 3 is currently underway.

Beach is an Indigenous Canadian actor with extensive credits in film and television. He is perhaps best known for portraying Ira Hayes in Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers, and as Detective Chester Lake in the 8th and 9th seasons of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He can currently be seen in the Apple TV+ series Government Cheese, alongside David Oyelowo, and is prepping for the role of decorated Native American fire captain Paul Fullerton in Garry A. Brown’s as-yet-untitled indie biopic. Additional credits include: Jane Campion’s Academy Award-winning film The Power of the Dog for Netflix; Apple TV+’s Swan Song, starring opposite Mahershala Ali and Naomie Harris; and Windtalkers with Nicolas Cage. The actor has also had roles in The Good Doctor, The New Mutants, Suicide Squad, and Joe Dirt.

Beach is represented by Buchwald, Red Management, and Kleinberg Lange Cuddy & Carlo.

The final season won’t be the first time that we saw Hakoda, as the Water Tribe father was previously featured in a flashback in Avatar’s first season. Played by Joel Montgrand originally,

Hakoda’s Impact on The Series

Hakoda might not have been traveling alongside his children with the last airbender but he was spending his time wisely in the fight against the Fire Nation. In the original animated series, Sokka and Katara’s father left to lead the Water Tribe against the potential conquerors, looking to do all he could to stop the Fire Lord Ozai’s advance. As fans know, Hakoda would play a significant role in the third season, reuniting with the gang to once again fight the Fire Nation. Unfortunately for Hakoda, not everyone was thrilled with his actions.

When Hakoda returned, Katara was quite angry with the fact that he had left both herself and Sokka alone to fight the war. While the water bender understood why her father needed to leave, it didn’t make it any easier to be abandoned. Needless to say, adapting these scenes to Netflix’s live-action adaptation will be no easy feat.

This brand-new Avatar Legends set just keeps getting better.

Believe it or not, Nickelodeon’s iconic animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025. In all that time, the fandom has only grown, and the franchise has expanded with a spin-off series, graphic novels, a new live adaptation, a Magic: The Gathering collaboration, and more. Now, a Kickstarter project from Beadle & Grimm’s in collaboration with Magpie Games and Nickelodeon brings fans a new way to engage with the beloved series. Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game – Voyage of the Unity gives gamers a new, premium way to experience their own Avatar adventure in tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) form. And the exciting project just keeps getting better.

Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game originally released in 2023 from Magpie Games, letting players step into the world of Avatar in officially licensed, TTRPG form. Now, Beadle & Grimm is partnering with Magpie to bring gamers a brand-new premium edition of the beloved RPG system. Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game – Voyage of the Unity smashed through its initial Kickstarter goal in just 30 minutes. Now, Beadle & Grimm’s has set their sights on new stretch goals to bring even more exciting features to the game.

Set during the Roku Era, the RPG comprises a series of five linked adventures that span the Four Nations. Whether you’re a seasoned Avatar Legends player or new to the game, this premium version offers exciting new potential for embracing the TTRPG, Team Avatar style.

New Stretch Goals Add New Scrolls, Locations, and More to Avatar: The Last Airbender TTRPG

Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game got its start on Kickstarter, breaking records with over 81 Thousand backers and over 100,000 copies sold. Now, the game’s Voyage of the Unity Premium Edition is seeing similar positive results from the fanbase. The game has met its initial goal and blasted through several stretch goals, leading Beadle & Grimm’s to dream even bigger for additional features to add to the game.

Recently, the campaign met its stretch goal for adding 5 new locations to the adventure, rounding out the initial series of stretch goals for the game. Now, new potential features have been added to the Kickstarter campaign, making this premium edition even better.

If this latest rendition of the Avatar: The Last Airbender TTRPG sounds like something you need on the gaming shelf immediately, there’s still time to back the project. The Kickstarter runs until June 19th and offers a variety of tiers for gamers to pitch in, from the massive Legendary Edition featuring every possible item to the budget-friendly digital edition for PDFs of the new adventure and encounters.

Handouts that feel like they came straight out of Ba Sing Se (flyers, letters, wanted posters, and more!)

The Power of the Elements—and Teamwork!

Charlie Rehor, Beadle & Grimm’s lead on the project, says, “This collaboration with Magpie Games and Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game falls right into our wheelhouse, and we couldn’t be more excited about the direction of the adventure story and premium box of GM elements.”

"Voyage of the Unity is an incredibly exciting project—a standalone Roku Era campaign in a box that further expands the history and politics of the Four Nations while also providing the perfect starting point for new groups to experience Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game," says Mark Diaz Truman, CEO of Magpie Games. "In addition, partnering with Beadle & Grimm's gives us an opportunity to bring the Avatarverse to life in a completely new way that uses artifacts, handouts, and other physical objects to make players feel like they are stepping directly into the story. We couldn't do this without them!"

Yip Yip! Adventure Calls!

The Kickstarter launches May 20, 2025 and will run until June 19, 2025.

Whether you’re a Fire Nation noble, an outcast from the Earth Kingdom, a fierce warrior from the Water Tribe, or an Air Nomad wanderer, this is your call to adventure.

All aboard the Unity! Let’s set sail!

Avatar Aang's Granddaughter Darcy Rose Byrnes Talks Airbending! | Braving the Elements S4 Ep 3 | Avatar Legends

Avatar Aang's Granddaughter Darcy Rose Byrnes Talks Airbending! | Braving the Elements S4 Ep 3

Note: As of posting, this episode is currently restricted in the U.K. and Ireland, however, the audio version can be listened to here.

Korra takes her first (reluctant) steps into airbending in Episode 102 of The Legend of Korra, and joining Janet and Dante is voice actor Darcy Rose Byrnes, who brought the energetic Ikki to life! Darcy shares what it was like voicing the granddaughter of Avatar Aang at just 10 years old, and how Ikki’s joy and goofiness connect the spirit of ATLA to TLOK. The crew dives into Korra’s frustration with Tenzin’s teachings, her impulsive pro-bending detour, and the deeper lesson behind “being like the leaf.” What makes airbending so elusive for Korra? How does her struggle reflect her inner resistance to change? Darcy celebrates Ikki’s role as the heart of the Airbender family and even honors fan-favorite Shinobi with a fun impression. Plus, the team reflects on Korra’s moment of growth (and regret) after breaking a 2000-year-old Air Nomad artifact, the strength it takes to say sorry, and the pride in being seen by your teacher. And of course, Uncle Iroh’s Tea Time returns, with Darcy drawing wisdom from a teapot of classic Iroh quotes.
