Big Nate returns! Nickelodeon International will be premiering brand new episodes of Big Nate season two across its Nickelodeon Global Unlimited feed daily 00:20 CET starting Friday 21st August 2026!
The newly-formed Nickelodeon Global Unlimited feed is currently available in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), South Africa, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Portugal.
The news is somewhat surprising, as Nickelodeon cancelled Big Nate, produced as a Paramount+ Original, mid-way through its second season in 2024, with the series pulled from Nickelodeon and Paramount+, both in the U.S. and internationally (where Paramount+ is available). The series later became available, complete with its unaired episodes, on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video.
However, the return of Big Nate shouldn't be a complete surprise, as Nickelodeon International recently aired seasons two and three of Rugrats (2021), another Nickelodeon-produced Paramount+ Original series that was cancelled and pulled at the same time as Big Nate, which included the world premieres of many episodes.
In new episodes of the Emmy® nominated series, Nate Wright and his misfit group of friends tackle new adventures, face epic challenges and unleash their boundless imaginations at P.S. 38. This new season pushes the boundaries of visual creativity, featuring episodes with animation styles including stop-motion, shadow box theater, photogrammetry and claymation. With laughter, friendship and heaps of Nate's signature mischief, season two promises to be bigger, bolder, and funnier than ever.
In season two of Big Nate, with his extended family now in the picture, Nate Wright is tasked with embracing their cooky dynamics and checkered history while trying to win over the hearts of new crushes, forge new friendships, and even come to grips with some new critics.
At the time of posting, Nickelodeon International will be skipping three episodes in the new batch of Big Nate season two episodes: the Thanksgiving-themed "NATESgiving" (#216), the episode "Norchaborf", and the series finale, "Fuller House".
Below is a list of the currently scheduled all-new Big Nate episodes set to premiere on Nickelodeon International in August 2026.
