>For preschoolers, the network will premiere three new animated series Butterbean’s Café, Sunny Day and Top Wing, along with close to 200 new episodes of returning hit shows including PAW Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Shimmer and Shine, Mutt & Stuff and the newly launched Nella the Princess Knight.
>Originally announced last May, Butterbean’s Café comes from the minds of Bubble Guppies creators Jonny Belt and Robert Scull, and Irish producer Brown Bag Films. The series follows the cooking adventures of a fairy named Butterbean who runs a neighborhood café with her friends.
Oh boy, how many more episodes of Spongebob are there?
>Also announced last May is Top Wing from Canadian producer 9 Story Media Group. Created by fellow Canuck studio Industrial Brothers, the CG-animated action-adventure series tells the story of a flock of young birds that becomes a team of rescue birds to help their island community.
>Sunny Day, meanwhile, follows the life of a 10-year-old problem-solving hair stylist and is produced by Silvergate Media (Peter Rabbit). Forty episodes have been ordered by Nick for both Sunny Day and Butterbean’s Café, while Top Wing has a 26-ep order.
>Nick currently owns six of the top-10 programs for kids ages two to five this year, according to Nielsen Media Research, led by top-ranked PAW Patrol.
>For kid-targeted animation, three new series will be introduced, Amusement Park, The Adventures of Kid Danger and Captain Man and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while nearly 200 episodes of returning hits including SpongeBob SquarePants, The Loud House and ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks are scheduled to launch.
>Amusement Park is a result of parentco Viacom’s new five-point turnaround plan, which will see Paramount’s film slate include co-branded releases from each of Viacom’s flagship brands.
>It is the first of a four-film Nick/Paramount theatrical slate and will be directed by Dylan Brown for a July 2018 premiere. A Nick TV series adaptation will follow in 2019.
?Ten episodes of The Adventures of Kid Danger and Captain Man (working title) are also in the mix. Created and executive produced by Dan Schneider (Game Shakers, iCarly), the crime-fighting program is based on Schneider’s top-rated live-action comedy Henry Danger.
>The third new series is Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (working title, 26 episodes), a 2D-animated reimagining of the global TMNT franchise. Slated for this fall, the series follows the famous half-shell heroes as they discover a magical new world beneath the streets of New York City.
>In other animated moves, Nick has ordered a 26-episode second season of Kuu Kuu Harajuku, a series co-created and executive produced by music icon Gwen Stefani. The first season bowed on Nick US in October.
>New 20-episode shows Bunsen is a Beast, Pinky Malinky and the TV version of digital short-form series Welcome to the Wayne are also included among Nick’s 2017 animated lineup.
>As for live-action, three new series will launch Lip Sync Battle Shorties (pictured), I Am Frankie and recently announced Hunter Street, as well as 300 all-new episodes from Henry Danger, Game Shakers, The Thundermans, School of Rock and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn.
>First aired as one-hour special in December, Lip Sync Battle Shorties is a 10-episode spinoff of Viacom-owned Spike’s Emmy-nominated global hit, Lip Sync Battle.
>The kids version is created and executive produced by Casey Patterson Entertainment and Matador Content, with John Krasinski, Stephen Merchant and Eight Million Plus Productions also serving as executive producers. It will begin production later this year and is set to premiere in the fall.
>I Am Frankie, meanwhile, is a 20-ep series about a teenager who is forced to hide her true identity as an experimental android or risk being switched off forever.
>Rounding out new live-action programming, an untitled docu-style special that gives viewers an exclusive look into the life of 13-year-old singer, dancer, performer and social media influencer JoJo Siwa has been greenlit.
>Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (working title, 26 episodes), a 2D-animated reimagining of the global TMNT franchise.
Neat.
>Nick, in fact, has signed Siwa to a broader multiplatform talent deal encompassing consumer products, original programming, social media, live events and music.
>The network is already in the process of signing merchandising and promotional partners in categories including apparel, home furnishings, toys, accessories and publishing.
>Last but not least, an untitled, original one-hour Rocko’s Modern Life special based on Nick’s beloved ’90s hit of the same name will launch, along with 90-minute book-based TV movie Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and two-hour animated TV movie Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie.

Interesting
Does Lincoln have the potential to be the new Nickelodeon mascot?
Pretty sure that new TMNT series is incorrect. There's still another season of the current show that hasn't come out, and iirc Andre, BlackNerd said it was gonna be called "Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in his last episode recap video.
Hmm, I'm mildly intrigued. Can't wait to see what they're gonna do this year and the next.
>FOP isn't in the renewed series list

Well, he's wearing the company color.
Season 5 is Tales, not Rise. And it's you who got it wrong, Black Bro said Tales too.
Right. I fucked up. Still very interested in this new version.
I'm excited for Welcome to the Wayne. The show had potential back when it was a webseries, it was lacking in the animation part.
Hopefully the TV version turns out to be well animated.
I hope they bring Katie DiCicco back.
Yeah, me too. My issue was with Ansi, he sounded too girly, I feel it was a mistake to have a woman voice him, a teenager should do it.
No one noticed the new Rocko's Modern Life a?
If Lincoln became the new mascot, they better well become the TV channel for autistic pedophilies and not kids.
Also, Rocko and the Arnold Jungle Movie! No manchildren are celebrating that.
I don't know what you're trying to say, but here's the (you)
It looks pretty fun
