According to the
recently made filing, Paramount (under Viacom International Inc.) has applied to trademark
Nickelodeon May and the Monsters under
NICE class 41 for Education and Entertainment Services, which is for Goods & Services pertaining to "entertainment services, namely, an ongoing multimedia program featuring animation distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; Providing a non-downloadable multimedia program series featuring animation via a video-on-demand service; Providing on-line entertainment information, namely, information about television programming".
The trademark application was made on Monday, July 27, 2026, and is still pending at the time of writing.
Not much information about Nickelodeon May and the Monsters is currently available, including whether it'll be a TV series or special, for digital (YouTube), streaming (Paramount+) or linear TV (a Nickelodeon channel), or whether it'll be aimed towards preschoolers or older children, however, there is a similarly named children's book titled Waverly May and the Monsters of Lake Michigan, which, aimed towards children aged 4-9, is written to help kids learn how to face and beat their fears.

Written by licensed counselors Blake Kooi and Becky Kooi and first published on January 4, 2020, in Waverly May and the Monsters of Lake Michigan:
Waverly May is visiting Lake Michigan for the first time. But what does she hear as she walks down the path towards the beach? Are those monsters roaring? With dragons, slime monsters, and ogres on the loose, how can Waverly May survive? With the help of her creative parents, Waverly May learns that she can tame any monster that comes her way! In this delightful children’s story, the seemingly irrational fears that children experience are validated and turned into opportunities for bravery, growth, and adventure. Blake and Becky Kooi are licensed counselors who use their knowledge of child development to empower children and adults to cope with the fears, frustrations, and fulfillment of growing up. Through their work as counselors, Blake and Becky have noticed that many mental and emotional struggles come from how people have been taught to react to life’s obstacles. In Waverly May and the Monsters of Lake Michigan, children ages 4 to 9 will learn to overcome their fears while parents of all ages will learn to join their children in that battle.
The independently published book is available on
Amazon.
However, whilst similarly named, it is important to note that, for the time being, this is purely speculation and that the Nickelodeon project Paramount has filed to trademark may not be associated with the book after all.
