PARAMOUNT+ REVEALS OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR ORIGINAL ANIMATED SERIES “BIG NATE,” PREMIERING FEB. 17
Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS, today released the official trailer and key art for its upcoming animated original series BIG NATE, based on the best-selling children’s books and comic strip written and drawn by acclaimed author and cartoonist Lincoln Peirce. The first eight episodes of the series will be available to stream beginning Thursday, Feb. 17, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and Australia, with more episodes to be announced at a later date. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, BIG NATE follows a precocious 11-year-old boy named Nate and his best friends as they navigate sixth grade with humor and style.
Nate’s misadventures will begin with an exclusive look at BIG NATE during the halftime presentation of Nickelodeon and CBS Sports’ slime-filled NFL WILD CARD GAME ON NICKELODEON, airing Sunday, Jan. 16 at 4:30 PM, ET.
Paramount+’s BIG NATE will feature brand-new original storylines centered on Nate, a sixth-grade kid who has a never-ending need to prove his awesomeness to the world. Whether he’s dealing with disasters at home or detention at school, Nate Wright is no stranger to a challenge. Luckily, he’s able to express himself through the world of cartoons that he creates. Charming, mischievous and a magnet for misadventure, Nate always finds a way to turn trouble into fun.
In the series premiere, “The Legend of the Gunting,” Nate has multiple detentions on the docket, per usual. But this time he is only one detention away from a fate only whispered about in the halls of P.S. 38. Meanwhile, the unhinged new kid is determined to become Nate’s prank partner. Jack Black (“Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle”) guest stars as Brad Gunter, a prankster of epic proportions and Nate’s inspiration, and Daniel Jacobs (“All Hail King Julien: Exiled”) lends his voice as Bentley Carter, the new kid at P.S. 38 eager to wreak havoc through the school on teachers and students alike.
The stellar lineup of actors lending their voice talent to the beloved characters of BIG NATE include Ben Giroux (Nate Wright), Dove Cameron (Ellen Wright), Rob Delaney (Martin Wright), Bryce Charles (Dee Dee Holloway), Daniel MK Cohen (Francis Pope), Arnie Pantoja (Teddy Ortiz), Charlie Schlatter (Chad Applewhite), Kevin Michael Richardson (Principal Nichols), Carolyn Hennesy (Mrs. Godfrey), Nik Dodani (Randy), Betsy Sodaro (Kim), Lisa Kay Jennings (Gina), Chandni Parekh (Jenny), Todd Haberkorn (Artur), Ryan Garcia (Mr. Rosa), Mike Rivkin (Mr. Galvin) and Chester Rushing (Zeff).
BIG NATE is executive produced by Mitch Watson (“All Hail King Julien”) and John Cohen (“The Angry Birds Movie”) and produced by Amy McKenna (“Beware the Batman”), with Lincoln Peirce serving as consultant throughout development and production. Bridget McMeel is co-producer.
