VIACOMCBS ANNUNCIA UNA SEZIONE INTERAMENTE DEDICATA A PAW PATROL SULL’ECOMMERCE TOYCENTER.IT

PAW Patrol è la 1a property nel segmento Preschool Toys, e tra le top property sia a livello televisivo che di consumer product

L’attesa per i più piccoli è finalmente terminata: stanno per arrivare su NickJr, canale prescolare di ViacomCBS Networks Italia in onda su Sky 603, i nuovi episodi della settima stagione di PAW Patrol che andranno in onda dal 9 novembre, dal lunedì al venerdì, alle 19:00.

I valori positivi trasmessi dal cartone animato, vengono assorbiti dai bambini di ben 170 paesi: i principi dell’amicizia, dell’aiuto reciproco e lo spirito di squadra ispirano i piccoli spettatori di tutto il mondo che, come gli imbattibili cuccioli, superano le loro paure giorno dopo giorno, sostenuti da chi li ama. La serie PAW Patrol prende forma nel 2012, grazie all’intuito del brand canadese Spin Master che insieme a ViacomCBS, è co-produttore del cartone animato. PAW Patrol continuerà ad evolvere introducendo temi e personaggi inediti da condividere con i fan di oggi e di domani.

PAW Patrol, costantemente tra le top property a livello televisivo, registra performance eccellenti anche in ambito consumer product confermandosi 1^ property nel segmento Preschool Toys, secondo le rilevazioni NPD gennaio – settembre 2020, in crescita del +30%, considerato un contesto generale di sofferenza del mercato.

Nell’ottica di alimentare questo successo, ViacomCBS Consumer Products ha scelto di supportare ulteriormente PAW Patrol rafforzando la distribuzione digitale del prodotto, legato alla franchise con un partner d’eccezione, TOYS CENTER (Prénatal Retail Group), leader in Italia nel mercato del giocattolo con oltre 130 punti vendita su tutto il territorio nazionale e uno store on line in continuo sviluppo. In questo modo si amplia la presenza on line del brand, massimizzando l’esposizione e proponendo anche attività ed esperienze correlate.

Con l’obiettivo di posizionare PAW Patrol come property di riferimento, ViacomCBS Consumer Products e Toys Center hanno quindi creato la prima Landing Page https://www.toyscenter.it/paw-patrol/ completamente dedicata alla property raccogliendo così in un unico contenitore l’offerta dei prodotti PAW Patrol. Inoltre, sulla Landing Page si potranno trovare anche contenuti di intrattenimento per bambini quali: colouring, activity sheet e i video educational sull’importanza di lavarsi le mani e come farlo bene, sensibilizzando così i più piccoli su un tema attuale di fondamentale importanza.

Obiettivo comune di ViacomCBS Consumer Products e Toys Center è crescere insieme implementando sia le referenze che le categorie proposte, affinché la Landing Page diventi un vero e proprio punto di riferimento legato al brand PAW Patrol.

Drake Bell and Josh Peck Have 'Discussed the Possibility' of a 'Drake & Josh' Revival

Originally published: Monday, August 26, 2019.

The singer opens up about the possibility of reuniting with his longtime friend on-screen

Update (12/19) - A Nickelodeon source has reportedly revealed to unCrazed that a Drake & Josh reboot “is happening,” and the original cast will return for the Nickelodeon series.

According to Nick source, “scripts are drafted and the cast is heading for the table in 2020,” — in other words, a table read to review the scripts is slated for early 2020. The original cast are reported to be returning, including Drake Bell and Josh Peck, Miranda Cosgrove, Nancy Sullivan and Jonathan Goldstein with special guest appearances from Yvette Brown and Jerry Trainor.

The cast has open schedules for next year, with the source suggesting the start of production will be around “April, give or take,” and could see a Christmas 2020 release that allows the show to roll into 2021. unCrazed have also told cast-mates are being told by execs to “confirm nor deny” development of a reboot, “but either way, it’s happening.”

It's currently unknown whether show creator Dan Schneider will be part of the revival. The Schneider parted ways with Nickelodeon in March 2018 leaving the future of multiple shows with uncertainty. Schneider, before his departure, focussed on new projects and had the drive for new content creation, over rebooting old projects. A Nick source tells revealed that the 53-year-old feared the digital age would impact his career as a television producer, a business he became part of in 1984.

If Drake & Josh is revived, it's also unknown how the revival will be: it could be a TV movie, a series or a reunion of a series such as All That (similar to the upcoming Zoey 101 reunion). It's also unknown whether it'll air on Nickelodeon or on Netflix, as part of Nickelodeon's recent content partnership with the streamer.

Please note that this information has yet to be confirmed by Nickelodeon or any of the show's cast.

Original post (continued...)

Drake Bell and Josh Peck are ready to reunite on screen — but not in the way fans might expect.

Bell stopped by People Now on Monday and opened up about the possibility of a Drake & Josh revival.

“Josh [Peck] has come up with a really cool idea — we’ve been talking,” he said. “So many things have to come together and actually happen to make that a reality.”

But while the “Fuego Lento” singer said there’s still a lot of details to be discussed among the pair, a reboot is “a lot closer than it’s ever been.”

“At least it’s on the table,” he said. “Now we’ve at least discussed the possibility of something happening.”

Drake & Josh originally aired on Nickelodeon from 2004-07. The sitcom starred Bell and Peck as stepbrothers navigating their new sibling relationship while trying to survive high school.

So what would an updated version of the hit sitcom look like? Bell said the new project wouldn’t just be an older version of their original characters.

“[We] want it to be something creative,” he explained. “It can’t be Drake and Josh in college. … It has to be something a little different, turn it on its head a little bit.”

Bell previously told PEOPLE that he’s excited about the prospect to work alongside Peck again.

“We’ve known each other for so long, and it really is once in a lifetime in this industry that you get to work with somebody and it clicks like that,” he said. “He’s just got an amazing comedic wit and incredible timing and he’s really smart and we really get along. So I think that it just kind of all goes together.”

Update (11/9/2020) - From unCrazed:

Drake & Josh will be returning to our screens once the COVID pandemic has passed, according to our Nickelodeon insider.

Earlier this year, unCrazed broke the news that Drake Bell and Josh Peck would be returning to their roles in the 2000s-hit series, Drake & Josh.

In our first story about a reboot it was made clear to us that both actors would be sliding back into their TV step-brother characters before the year ends, but as it goes, COVID spoiled that for the production.

We have liaised with our sources … they are telling us that all castmates originally scheduled for the reboot – including Bell (Drake Parker) and Peck (Josh Nichols), Miranda Cosgrove (Megan Parker), Nancy Sullivan (Audrey Parker-Nichols) and Jonathan Goldstein (Walter Nichols) with special guest appearances from Yvette Brown (Helen) and Jerry Trainor (Crazy Steve) – are still involved and with production for other commitments of each castmate also being shifted for other projects, development is still going ahead without any major conflict.

Production was hugely delayed with the original schedule set for April 2020, but now the entertainment industry can better protect production teams, we are told filming will begin “January next year” unless “major State restrictions don’t permit production companies as essential occupations,” … it has been a difficult time for some of the bigger-budgeted shows and films due to the necessity of investing more on health and safety measures and COVID testing.

A table read was conducted over video call during the worldwide lockdown, which enhanced the development stage drastically in comparison to waiting until restrictions were eased as the year continued. It has been confirmed by our Nickelodeon insider that in early 2021, an official announcement will be made by the network that will also highlight a bunch of other reboots and re-visits to some pre-2010 classics in partnership with Netflix.
