Nickelodeon UK to Premiere New 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' Season Two Episodes From May 18

Rock, Paper, Scissors returns with more brand new episodes from its second season, premiering weekdays at 7:30am on Nickelodeon UK & Ireland starting Monday 18th May 2026! Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, season two of Rock, Paper, Scissors continues to follow the wacky shenanigans and nonsensical adventures of the titular characters - Rock, Paper and Scissors.

Rock Paper Scissors

The news follows Nickelodeon renewing the original animated series for a second (10 episodes) and third season (10 episodes) last year.

Rock Paper Scissors embodies the creative and character-driven storytelling we champion at Nickelodeon and the show’s humor and heart has struck a chord with our audience,” said Ramsey Naito, who served as President, Paramount Animation and President of Nickelodeon Animation at the time the show's renewal announcement was made. “With an all-star cast that brings incredible energy, humor and depth to every character, we can’t wait to dive even deeper into the hilarious world these three best friends share.”

Monday 18th May 2026 - The Altruistic-Off / The Album: The trio try to outdo the Rat Bros at being good in 'The Altruistic-Off', then in 'The Album', Scissors dates a pop star. (S2, ep 6)

Tuesday 19th May 2026 - Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story: Paper connects with his friends in 'Paper Takes the Phones', then in 'The Bedtime Story', Paper and Scissors tell Rock a bedtime story. (S2, ep 7)

Wednesday 20th May 2026 - Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper’s Family Get-Together: Franz Roll adopts Scissors, thinking he's a dog in 'Scissors is a Good Boy', then in 'Paper's Family Get-Together', Paper avoids a family reunion. (S2, ep 8)

Thursday 21st May 2026 - Moonami 12 / Spider Court: The trio sees the latest Moonami film in 'Moonami 12', then in 'Spider Court', the guys are tried for hurting a spider. (S2, ep 9)

Friday 22nd May 2026 - Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals: The episode title explains the content most adequately in the episode titled 'Scissors, the Supervillain', and then in 'Car Wash Nationals', Paper and Scissors dance in a competition. (S2, ep 10; season three finale)

Fans can watch Rock Paper Scissors season one (20 episodes) and the first four episodes of season two in full exclusively on Paramount+. Inspired by the age-old tradition of settling things with your best friends, the game comes to life through the adventures of pals Rock, Paper and Scissors – a trio of best friends and roommates who lovingly compete over everything in sometimes laughable but mostly wildly absurd ways. Rock Paper Scissors was the number-one new animated series with K2-11 and K6-11 when it launched February 2024 and is an Annie Award, Children’s & Family Emmys and NAMIC Vision Award-nominated series.

Rock Paper Scissors

The animated comedy stars Ron Funches (Trolls, Trolls Band Together) as Rock, an aspiring model and member of the trio with the biggest heart and moral compass; Thomas Lennon (Zoey 102, 17 Again, Reno 911!) as Paper, the wannabe intellectual who dreams of being a famous inventor; and Carlos Alazraqui (Rocko’s Modern Life, Reno 911!) as Scissors, who acts overly confident and always wants to be cool. The series also stars Melissa Villaseñor (Saturday Night Live) as Pencil, the trio’s incredibly smart neighbor with a silly sense of humor, and Eddie Pepitone (The Muppets, Old School) as Lou, the angry landlord, who is also a garbage can.

In addition to the linear series, Nickelodeon has greenlit 20 one-minute shorts to further dive into the character’s lives and adventures.

For more Rock Paper Scissors, follow the trio on the Nicktoons YouTube channel.

Originally launched in 2019 as a short, Rock Paper Scissors was greenlit for series from Nickelodeon’s Intergalactic Shorts Program. Created by Kyle Stegina (Robot Chicken) and Josh Lehrman (Robot Chicken), the series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation. Stegina and Lehrman serve as executive producers along with Conrad Vernon (Shrek 5) and Bob Boyle (The Fairly OddParents). Production is overseen by Daniel Wineman, Vice President of Original Animation Development. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

'Avatar: The Last Airbender Earth Rumble' Launches on Nex Playground

Avatar: The Last Airbender Earth Rumble Available Today on Nex Playground

Players Dodge, Strike, and Bend Earth Against Iconic Tournament Fighters in Their Living Room

'Avatar: The Last Airbender Earth Rumble' Key Art
For the first time, longtime fans, alongside a new generation of players, can step into the role of a young earthbender competing in the legendary Earth Rumble Tournament, a secret underground competition from the TV series.

Apr 28, 2026 11:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time

SAN FRANCISCO--Nex, maker of Nex Playground, the active play system that gets families moving together, today launched Avatar: The Last Airbender Earth Rumble, an immersive motion-based action game that brings the fantasy of earthbending to life. Built exclusively for Nex Playground, the game transforms players’ real-world movements into powerful earthbending techniques, inspired by the iconic Earth Rumble tournament from the acclaimed animated TV series “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”


For the first time, longtime fans, alongside a new generation of players, can step into the role of a young earthbender competing in the legendary Earth Rumble Tournament, a secret underground competition from the TV series. Through movement-based gameplay, players will experience an immersive blend of fantasy, action and martial arts elements through Nex Playground’s controller-free gameplay.

“Avatar: The Last Airbender has inspired generations of fans with its rich world and unforgettable characters,” said David Lee, CEO and Co-Founder of Nex. “With Earth Rumble, we’re bringing the act of earthbending to life in a way fans have always imagined, using their own body to train, move, and react the same way Toph did. Motion gameplay makes that experience feel real, turning something people have only watched into something they can actually do together.”

Toph Battle | Avatar: The Last Airbender Earth Rumble

Under the guidance of Toph, the legendary “Blind Bandit,” players face a lineup of formidable opponents, including The Boulder, Hippo, The Gecko, and Gopher. As players advance, they’ll sharpen their earthbending skills and strategy to defeat increasingly challenging opponents and try to become the next Earth Rumble Champion.

Key gameplay elements include:

  • Earthbending Training: Players learn signature earthbending techniques from Toph. Stomp to launch earth into the air, strike to send rocks flying, raise their arms to create stone spires, and jump, duck and dodge to evade flying boulders
  • Gameplay Modes: Players choose from several gameplay modes, including Story Mode to rise through the ranks of Earth Rumble with the help of Toph, Rematch Mode to rematch any of the contenders in a harder mode with objectives to unlock costumes, and Training Modes to practice their earthbending skills before hitting the arena.
  • Progression Capabilities: As players progress, they forge their own Earth Rumble persona, unlocking new costumes, including masks featuring deep cuts from the show, from the likes of Appa and Momo.

Coinciding with the launch, Nex Playground is offering one of its lowest prices of the year during Amazon Gaming Week at $239.00 (20% off MSRP), a $60 savings on the current price ($299). The limited time promotion runs through May 4, 2026.
