From TheWrap:

CBS All Access, Showtime Pass 10 Million Combined Subscribers

TCA 2020: CBS expects to have 25 million combined by 2022

CBS All Access and Showtime’s OTT service now count more than 10 million subscribers between the two of them, Marc DeBevoise, CEO of CBS Interactive, said on Sunday.

That is up from the 8 million between the two the last time CBS reported subscriber numbers. CBS expects to have a combined 25 million subs by 2022.

The subscription streaming product, initially a way for non-TV subscribers to watch the CBS broadcast network, as well as the network’s catalog of shows like “The Brady Bunch” and “I Love Lucy,” debuted the day after HBO made its own announcement that it would also jump into the streaming space with HBO Now.

CBS All Access, now a subsidiary of ViacomCBS, is part of a multi-pronged streaming strategy which runs counter to other streaming competitors in the space.

ViacomCBS plans to keep its to main streaming offering separate, pollinating CBS All Access with content from Viacom networks like MTV and Nickelodeon while also beefing up its Showtime streaming service with Viacom’s Paramount films. In addition, the company has its supported streamer Pluto TV, the kids-oriented subscription service Noggin and BET+.

In the months to come, Quibi, NBCUniversal’s Peacock and HBO Max will hit the market, as well. Last November, both Apple and Disney launched their own direct-to-consumer products.

From Deadline:

CBS All Access Chiefs Give Update On Subscriber Figures, Viacom Programming Plans & Broad Content Strategy – TCA

CBS has added 2M subscribers to its CBS All Access and Showtime streaming services in the last twelve months.

The broadcaster revealed the new subscribers figures as part of a general update on the digital service as part of Marc DeBevoise and Julie McNamara’s exec session at the Winter TCA Press Tour.

The pair also discussed the company’s plans to move over some Viacom content to the service following its merger and discussed original programming plans, including a hint at a potential move towards gameshows.

Marc DeBevoise, Chief Digital Officer, ViacomCBS, and President and CEO, CBS Interactive, said the company has continued on its “incredible growth path” and said it was still on target to reach 25M subscribers for CBS All Access and Showtime by 2022. He also added that it had seen around 80% growth in terms of overall streams and said he was happy with its position in the market following the launch of rival services such as Apple TV+ and Disney+. “There’s been a lot of talk about what the new entrants to the streaming space would mean to the overall marketplace. We have always looked at the so-called streaming wars as anything but a zero-sum game and consumer behaviour has continued to prove that,” he said.

He also said that there “were lots of opportunities going forward” in terms of adding Viacom content to CBS All Access. This comes after it revealed it was “loading up” on a number of kids titles from Nickelodeon. “We’re in the middle of talking through those all of those pieces,” he said. “We’ve already started to dabble and there will be a lot more that we can discuss in the future. We’re evaluating those things over time. We view it as a much larger content portfolio.”

Julie McNamara, Executive Vice President of Original Content for CBS All Access, unveiled a number of new originals during her session including animated series Tooning Out The News and The Harper House as well as an animal rescue docuseries from Richard Linklater and a second season of Star Trek spin-off Picard. “Are there other genres [that CBS All Access could move into]?,” she asked. “Maybe gameshows. There’s been a lot of gameshows this week. We’re definitely open and are very happy with how our brand is evolving.”

McNamara added that she wanted to keep its originals strategy broad. “I tend to not to get too philosophically dug in [but] we do have a sense, that it’s a great space to be in. It’s a premium service that puts all of the resources that can speak to a broad audience, it’s not designed to be particularly niche or indie and that taps back to the brand of our corporation. It’s not a dirty word to say something is going to be commercial.”

From Variety:

CBS All Access, Showtime OTT Reach 10 Million Collective Subscribers

ViacomCBS-owned streaming services CBS All Access and Showtime OTT have reached a collective 10 million subscribers, said ViacomCBS chief digital officer and CBS Interactive chief exec Marc DeBevoise at the Television Critics Assn. winter press tour. That’s up from 8 million at last update.

“We’re in a great position to hit our goals of 25 million subscribers by 2022,” he said, adding that subscribers have been growing at a 60% rate, year over year.

Original series are a key driver for subscriber growth and viewer retention at All Access, which encompasses scripted and unscripted originals, live news, sports, entertainment, and local affiliate programming. The service also recently expanded into children’s content, announcing at TCA the orders of “Mr. Magoo,” “George of the Jungle” and “Lassie” reboots.

All Access’ kids-programming worldview — to draw in the children of subscribers, who are an average of 44 years old — may evolve now that it is under the newly reunified ViacomCBS banner.

“This is the beginning, and now with the merger of ViacomCBS, we may have an entirely different point of view,” said DeBevoise. “These deals were processed before the merger. We’re now at the point where the merger will help us refine our thinking about the kids strategy with the Nickelodeon brand. We can see what we have there.”

Attrition is in the single digits, similar to that of other premium streaming services, said DeBevoise.

“We’ve decreased churn each year since starting the service, so we feel really good about the trend line,” the ViacomCBS exec told the reporters and critics in the room.

Echoing many of his executive peers at other subscription video on-demand services, DeBevoise believes that the so-called streaming wars are not a zero-sum game. The launch of new services will not lead to negative impact on growth, and may in fact may help to grow the market overall, he said.

All Access ad revenue has grown in tandem with subscribers. Around two-thirds of subscribers have the limited-commercial version of the streamer, with the other third paying for the ad-free platform.

When asked about the impact of Apple TV Plus, Disney Plus and other new entrants to the streaming market have impacted CBS All Access, DeBevoise and All Access originals chief Julie McNamara were bullish on the appeal of the streamer, which includes both library and live streaming programming.

“The diversity of our service of the types of programming — the nature of live and on demand, library and current, different genres — I think that’s pretty unique,” said DeBevoise.

“It fundamentally comes down to the value proposition, the ecosystem you’re providing, and then [offering] shows people want to see badly enough that they come and find you,” added McNamara. “I think we’ve seen with other services, the kind of pro and con of how that works, and you’ve got to have the creative confidence and keep going out there with shows people want to see, and I do believe that most consumers out there will follow their hearts, to some extent, in terms of the content being really desirable for them.”

And amid SVODs that may angle for premium HBO-style programming, All Access is courting a broader audience.

“We have a strong sense and we have looked at data to inform our thinking of this,” said McNamara, later adding, “I think that does tap back to the brand of our corporation overall, that it’s not a dirty word to say that something is potentially going to be commercial.”

Nickelodeon's The Crystal Maze is an all-new version of the legendary UK hit series, premiering Friday, Jan. 24, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT). The Crystal Maze will feature comedian/writer Adam Conover as the Maze Master, charged with guiding one family team through physical and mental challenges set within an elaborate labyrinth of four giant and immersive themed zones: Aztec, Eastern, Futuristic and Industrial.

The premiere episode of The Crystal Maze will feature a family from Houston, Texas, tackling a range of challenges in the maze for the first time ever for U.S. audiences. This season will feature families from: Scottsdale, Ariz; Lake Forest, Calif; Eastvale, Calif ; St. Augustine, Fla; Windemere, Fla; Chester, Va; Germantown, Tenn; Carollton, Texas; and Wheaton, Ill.

In each episode, the youngest family member takes on the role of team Captain. The successful completion of escape-room style challenges are rewarded with a “time crystal” granting the family five seconds in the centerpiece final zone called the Crystal Dome. The more crystals gathered throughout the game, the more time each family has for a dramatic clock countdown challenge inside the iconic Dome for a chance to win up to $25,000.

A current ratings smash in the UK, The Crystal Maze has been a beloved family and cult favorite since the mid ‘90s, with the current global popularity of the escape room phenomena reigniting interest further. The show was recently rebooted to great success with celebrity, charity and family seasons in UK, Australia and beyond.

The Crystal Maze is co-produced by Bunim/Murray Productions (The Real World, The Challenge, Born This Way) and RDF Television (Secret Life of 4 Year Olds, Wife Swap, Shipwrecked) under parent company Banijay Group. Gil Goldschein and Maria Pepin from Bunim/Murray Productions, Neale Simpson from Fizz, part of RDF Television, and Stephen David from Stephen David Entertainment serve as executive producers. Production of The Crystal Maze for Nickelodeon is overseen by Rob Bagshaw, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Content.

Production on the new series (10 one-hour episodes) took place on the show's original set located at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, England, earlier this summer.

Devised by Jacques Antoine, the UK version of The Crystal Maze was originally hosted by Richard O'Brien (Rocky Horror), followed by Ed Tudor-Pole. The reboot was originally presented by Stephen Merchant (for Stand Up To Cancer), and currently by Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd, Travel Man) with his "hand." The show's theme song is the legendary "Force Field", below. The show is currently filmed at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol.

Nickelodeon France will be adding some sparkle to the recipe with Just Add Magic, premiering Monday 3rd February 2020 at 18h50! In the spellbinding new U.S. live-action family television series, three best friends discover a magical cookbook that helps them uncover mysteries that span generations. Following its debut, Nickelodeon will serve up extra helpings with new episodes airing weekdays at 18h50. The series is locally titled La Magie en Plus in France.

The news follows Nickelodeon UK & Ireland starting to air Just Add Magic on November 2019.

In Just Add Magic, Kelly Quinn and her two BFF's, Darbie and Hannah, stumble upon her grandmother's mysterious cookbook in the attic and discover some far from ordinary recipes. When the Shut'em Up Shortcake silences Kelly's pesky little brother and the Healing Hazelnut Tart heals Darbie's ankle, the girls discover they have the power of magic.

In the lively town of Saffron Falls, teenage girls Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah are best friends who love cooking. While making a cake for Kelly's grandma's (who has a mysterious illness and cannot talk) birthday, the girls use a magical recipe using an ancient cookbook that they found in the attic. The recipes they find inside have strange names like "Shut'em Up Shortcake" and "Hazelnut Healing Tart" and require unusual ingredients, such as "Cedronian vanilla" and "Taurian thyme". The girls go to Mama P.’s shop to get the ingredients for the “Shut ‘em Up Shortcake” and when no one has any idea what they need, Mama P. reveals that she knows what the ingredients are, and she gives them the Cedronian Vanilla. They bake the cake, but when Kelly's brother Buddy and Hannah eat a bite of the shortcake and find themselves unable to talk, the three friends realise they are dealing with magic spells. At the same time as Hannah and Buddy's silence, Darbie cannot stop talking. Because of this, they also realise the spells come with a consequence.

Throughout season one, Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah investigate the magical recipes and face the temptations of using magic to help overcome the everyday challenges of being middle school girls. They conclude that Mama P. knows about the magic because she appears to have extensive knowledge of magical ingredients. Furthermore, they discover that the creepy neighbour Ms. Silvers also has a connection to magic after she warns them to stay away from it, telling them that it is dangerous. The girls realise that they are the protectors of the magical cookbook and that there were many others before them, three of whom were Mama P., Ms. Silvers and Kelly's grandma Becky. Among all this, Kelly has one overriding goal: to find the magical recipe that will fix her grandmother's mysterious illness, even if it means crossing creepy Mama P. or scary Ms. Silvers. As the girls work together they find out that Kelly's grandma Becky is under a curse, and so are Mama P. (whose curse does not let her leave Saffron Falls) and Ms. Silvers (whose curse does not let her play the piano in public). The girls, while trying to free Grandma Quinn of her curse, uncover various mysteries of the past.

Just Add Magic stars: Olivia Sanabia (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky et Dawn, Sam et Cat, Coop and Cami Ask the World) as Kelly Quinn, Abby Donnelly (JoJo's Juice, Malibu Rescue) as Darbie, Aubrey K. Miller (Sam & Cat, The Fresh Beat Band, Nicky, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Fresh Off the Boat) as Hannah, Judah Bellamy as Jake, Catia Ojeda (La malédiction du temple Maya, Malibu Rescue) as Terri Quinn, Dee Wallace (The Twilight Zone, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) as Grandma, Amy Hill (La Legende De Korra, Kung Fu Panda: l’incroyable légende, The Wild Thornberrys: The Origin of Donnie, American Dad!, Mom, Black-ish, King of the Hill, Max Keeble's Big Move) as Mama P, Andrew Burlinson (Parks and Recreation, Shear the Sheep) as Scott Quinn, Ellen Karsten as Ms. Silvers, Aiden Lovekamp (Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension) as Buddy Quinn, Zach Callison (Henry Danger, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Pizza Friday!, The Legend of Korra, The Goldbergs, Steven Universe, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? as Chuck, Laya DeLeon Hayes (Game Shakers, Santa Hunters, Les Thundermans, Hey Arnold !: Mission Jungle - Le film, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Mutt & Stuff) as Piper, and Tess Paras as Erin.

Just Add Magic (51 x 30-minute (approx) episodes over three seasons) made its debut on Amazon Video in January 2016. Amazon Studios renewed the series for a second season in June 2016 after it "set a record as the most successful Amazon Original Kids premiere weekend in terms of U.S. Prime Video streams and hours." Prior to the series, a pilot for the show was produced in 2015. The series is based on Cindy Callaghan’s YA book and adapted by Joanna Lewis & Kristine Songco (Sullivan & Son).

Andamiro Unveils 'Krabby Patty Party', A New 'SpongeBob'-Themed ‘Whacker’ Game For Arcades

Andamiro Unveils SpongeBob-Themed ‘Whacker’ Game For Arcades

THE MORE, THE MERRIER: Andamiro’s new Krabby Patty Party “whacker,” available in ticket redemption and non-ticket amusement-only versions, is offered in (from left) one-, two- and four-player cabinet configurations. The multi-station assemblies include larger eye-catching umbrella marquees.

GARDENA, CA -- Andamiro has announced the introduction of Krabby Patty Party, a “whacker” game that invites players to take on the role of SpongeBob SquarePants as the short-order cook in the Krusty Krab restaurant. Hand-and-eye coordination are challenged as the player endeavors to serve as many patties as possible to the denizens of Bikini Bottom. A patty is served by whacking it with a spatula.

Krabby Patty Party is the successor to Order Up, Andamiro’s first whacker game, which was introduced in 2017. Both are based on Nickelodeon’s long-running SpongeBob SquarePants animated TV show, which is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, and both offer classic mallet-game play. The mallet in this case is SpongeBob’s spatula; the pop-up targets are Krabby Patties, which emerge at random from six positions on the playfield. A player who successfully completes a series of five whacking combos wins more tickets and enters the “rapid whack” stage, in which even more tickets can be won.

“Krabby Patty Party is Andamiro’s fifth SpongeBob title and the sixth game in our Nickelodeon family,” said Andamiro USA president Drew Maniscalco. “We’re committed to continuing our support for the classic mallet category and very excited about strengthening our relationship with Nickelodeon. Together, Andamiro and Nickelodeon are delivering best-in-class arcade games and brand equity to the operator community.”

Last summer, Nickelodeon commemorated 20 years of SpongeBob SquarePants with the launch of the “Best Year Ever” tribute. SpongeBob launched July 17, 1999, and has reigned as the No. 1 kids’ animated series for almost two decades, inspiring a Tony award-winning Broadway musical which is now touring the U.S. and Canada, and major film releases. A new SpongeBob movie, Sponge On The Run, will open in theaters in May. A CG-animated prequel spin-off series, Kamp Koral, following 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants during his summer at sleepaway camp, is also slated to premiere during Summer 2020.

Andamiro’s Krabby Patty Party is available as a ticket redemption game or non-ticket amusement-only device. It can be purchased in one-, two- and four-player cabinet configurations; the multi-station options include enhanced marquees and can be ordered with different character graphics for each station. A single unit measures 29.1” W. x 35” D. x 62.9” H. (68.1” H. with the topper).

According to the manufacturer, Krabby Patty Party not only features Andamiro quality, but also the lowest price tag in its category, with an operator cost 20% to 35% less than competing whacker games.

It boasts Bikini Bottom cabinet graphics, lively music and SpongeBob’s vocal interjections. Gameplay and ticket redemption features are operator-adjustable.

Krabby Patty Party is sold through Andamiro distributors and will begin shipping in mid-January. Information may be requested by emailing to sales@andamirousa.com.

Andamiro Co. Ltd. designs and manufactures ticket redemption amusements, prize merchandisers, and sports and videogames, along with the world-famous Pump It Up music and dance simulator line. Andamiro was founded in 1992 in South Korea and maintains offices, development studios and manufacturing plants in Seoul’s high-tech area. Andamiro USA Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Andamiro, was established in 2000 in southern California. Andamiro has brought to market more than 100 amusement machine titles that operate in a variety of entertainment destinations. The MLB Players Association, NFL Players Inc., Nickelodeon (ViacomCBS), Universal Studios, The Walt Disney Co. and World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. are among Andamiro’s licensing partners. The company is online at http://www.andamiro.com/en.

Krabby Patty Party is the latest title in Andamiro's Nickelodeon line of games, which also includes SpongeBob Soccer Stars, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob: Order Up and SpongeBob Pineapple Arcade.

From ScreenRant:

Ninja Turtles' SHREDDER is The New Green Power Ranger

The Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles have joined forces in a comic crossover, but Shredder will be taking on both - as the NEW Green Ranger!

Warning: SPOILERS for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2

If any fans have been missing out on the comic book crossover Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it is officially time to jump on board. Because Tommy Oliver has finally given up the role of the most powerful Green Ranger... to Shredder. Yes, really.

The five-issue limited series event is the result of an alliance between IDW, BOOM! and Nickelodeon, specifically intended to give fans of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a crossover for the ages. One which has seen both teams of martial artists compare fighting styles -- first as enemies, and now as allies. The story so far has centered on Tommy Oliver joining the Foot Clan without informing his friends, but the true bombshells have now been dropped. Not only why Tommy attempted to infiltrate and manipulate Shredder, but how the dark villain hatched his own plan to strip Tommy of his power.

The creative team of Ryan Parrott (Power Rangers: Necessary Evil) and Simone di Meo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) has delivered on expectations from the first issue, giving fans of both teams more than they could've hoped for. But as the heroes have put aside their weapons to uncover the real dangers taking shape, the villains have met, as well. And proving he's as dangerous for his mind as his muscles and martial arts, Shredder has unlocked the secret of Tommy's Power Coin. With Rita Repulsa knocking on his door, Shredder's timing (and appearance) couldn't be better.

The miniseries began innocently enough, following the Turtles as they responded to what seemed like an ordinary attack by the Foot Clan. The only thing different was the masked, long-haired, incredibly dangerous ninja leading them on their mission to steal a cutting-edge power cell. That ninja would eventually be ambushed by the Turtles, forcing him to reveal himself as Tommy Oliver, and activate his Power Coin to morph into his Green Ranger form. The other Rangers weren't far behind, but Tommy refused to fill anyone in on his mission. Thankfully, the readers soon learn the truth: Tommy has gone undercover among the Foot, seeking to save a boy named Tyler, who has been indoctrinated. The bad news? Tyler is so indoctrinated, he knocks Tommy unconscious to prove his own loyalty to Master Shredder.

Waking up in a cage -- and failing to realize that Shredder is hoping he will demonstrate how to activate his Power Coin -- Tommy transforms, before being blasted back into unconsciousness. Taking the Power Coin, presumably adding the Power Cell now in his possession, and facing a new, arrogant enemy in Rita Repulsa, Shredder does the only thing that makes sense. Tommy Oliver may need to find a new calling when (or if) Shredder sets him free. Because as of today, there is a new Green Ranger in town:

How will the Ninja Turtles and the Power Rangers take on the combined forces of Shredder, the Foot Clan, and Rita Repulsa? Will her hunger for power mean Rita sets his armies upon Shredder, as opposed to the heroes? Which option has a better chance to preventing the end of the world? These questions and more will be answered when Issue #3 arrives. But for now fans won't want to waste another minute before catching up, in which case the credits and plot synopsis for the next issue can be found below:

Nick Jr. UK to Premiere New Australian-Produced Preschool Dance Series

READY SET DANCE on Monday 6th January 2020

London -Nick Jr. UK & Ireland will premiere READY SET DANCE, an innovative participatory dance series for preschoolers, on Monday 6th January 2020! Viewers will also be able to catch their favourite episodes of PAW Patrol!

The news follows the announcement that the series, which originally launched on Nick Jr. Australia in January 2019, will be expanding internationally beginning January 2020 in an additional 122 countries and translated in 25 languages.

Bursting with energy and designed to develop confidence, coordination and creativity, the Australian series premiered to critical praise from preschoolers and parents alike, ranking as the no. 1 STV program (excluding live sports/movies) amongst children 0-12 in Australia.

Following its local success and international expansion, READY SET DANCE has also been greenlit for a second season in Australia. Season two will enter production locally in January 2020, and is slated to premiere in Australia in April 2020.

For the stars of the show, a troupe of young Australian actors and dancers known as the Kid Crew, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be seen on screens around the world. Animated hosts Twirl and Freeze, who offer a playful social connection throughout the series, will keep their Australian accents across English speaking markets.

“One of the driving forces behind READY SET DANCE’s local success and international interest, is the fact that dance is a topic with universal appeal,” said Ben Cox, General Manager, Nickelodeon Networks, Australia and New Zealand.

“As part of a global kids’ brand we are constantly looking for content that has the ability to resonate with our young audience locally, as well as translate internationally, and Ready Set Dance fits this criteria.”

Lachlan

READY SET DANCE features fun and energetic short-form dance videos designed specifically for preschoolers aged two - five years old. Differing from other dance shows on the market, the series is underpinned by a core educational curriculum designed to teach kids fundamental movement skills while building confidence, coordination and creativity.

In each episode kids learn a signature dance move as instructed by friendly animated hosts Twirl and Freeze, and then see the move performed by the talented Kid Crew as part of a story-driven, mini-musical. At the end of the episode kids are encouraged to practice their new move during the preschool dance party, jumping and jiving along together with fellow preschoolers on screen.

Producers Dan and Kevin Hageman have revealed the writers joining Nickelodeon's upcoming animated Star Trek series!

The show’s writers’ room includes Julie and Shawna Benson, former writers of Green Arrow and Batgirl & the Birds of Prey for DC Comics, and executive story editors on The 100; Chad Quandt and Aaron Waltke, whose credits include Trollhunters, Unikitty and Teen Titans Go!; Erin McNamara; Keith Sweet; Lisa Boyd (The Last Airbender); Diandra Pendle-Thompson; and Nikhil Jayaram.

The team assembled for a group photo at Nickelodeon. Take a look below.

Every ship needs a crew. Welcome aboard!

It wasn’t specified, but the likely showrunner for the new toon is animation veteran Aaron Waltke, who has worked as showrunner for the Hageman brothers on Trollhunters. Waltke took to Twitter after the announcement to share his first memory, watching Star Trek: The Next Generation with his father. He also expressed excitement to “explore strange new worlds” with the new show.

My first memory with my dad is sitting in a living room in Indiana, watching the pilot episode of “Star Trek: Next Generation” as it premiered live.

Excited to be writing and producing ST with so many talented people. Time to explore strange new worlds. #StarTrek https://t.co/w02uV9yPl9
— Aaron Waltke (@GoodAaron) July 30, 2019

Chad Quant, another Trolhunters veteran and former host of the Emmy-winning educational kids show The Friday Zone, shared how “stoked” he was to be on the show:

So unbelievably stoked to be part of this crew. It's been a blast to play in this quadrant of the Star Trek galaxy. https://t.co/7FFkjpmwCw
— Chad Quandt (@QuandtumTheory) July 30, 2019

Also jumping in to share their excitement about being part of the show are sisters and TV and DC Comics writers, Julie and Shawna Benson who are jumping over from live-action, recently working on The 100. The pair talked up how the writers’ room has already been hard at work.

Absolutely thrilled & honored to get a chance to write not only for animation but for STAR TREK! @shawnabenson and I can't wait for you guys to see what this amazing room has been dreaming up. @brothershageman are our fearless Captains - the universe couldn't be in better hands. https://t.co/RTvwcbPb75

Other writers expressed giddiness to finally share how they have been given the opportunity to work on Star Trek.

Debuting exclusively on Nickelodeon, the series expands the “Star Trek” universe for a new generation of fans. The new original CG-animated series follows a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation.

The series will be from CBS’ Eye Animation Productions, CBS Television Studios’ new animation arm; Secret Hideout; and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Katie Krentz, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth will serve as executive producers alongside Kevin and Dan Hageman. Aaron Baiers will serve as a co-executive producer.

Star Trek producer Alex Kurtzman recently offered an update on the upcoming animated series. "The Hageman brothers are doing [an animated] show for Nickelodeon, and that will be entirely different from Lower Decks," Kurtzman said. "I won’t announce the name of the Nickelodeon show, but that’s a really different show. That’s a show that’s for kids, younger. Full CG animation. It’s going to be incredibly cinematic. We just started seeing [storyboards] this week. It looks like, wow. It’s on par with Love, Death, and Robots in terms of beauty and lighting and cinema, so it’s a really different feel, and Nickelodeon has been wildly supportive and I think very excited to bring a new energy to TV, you know, in animation.

"Animation is in an incredible, glorious renaissance right now." Kurtzman continued. "Between [Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse] which just blew everything open and everything Pixar’s been doing for so very long, I think what I’m excited about in the world of animation is to try all these different things to see what feels Trek."

“Star Trek, Nickelodeon, and the state of animation are doing incredibly ambitious things as of late. We couldn’t be more excited to jump aboard,” the Hagemans said in a statement when the series was greenlit.

“Star Trek’s mission is to inspire generations of dreamers to build a brighter future. Dan and Kevin have crafted a story that honors its exploratory spirit in a way that’s never been done before, while the Nickelodeon team blew us away with their excitement at bringing Trek to a younger generation around the world.”

The series is being developed Emmy Award-winning brothers the Hagemans, who have written and produced some of the biggest animated franchises in film and television. They served as co-executive producers on the Emmy Award-winning series Trollhunters, co-created the hit The LEGO Movie, wrote and executive produced LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu and developed the theatrical The Lego Ninjago Movie. Additional credits include Hotel Transylvania (story creators) and The Croods 2 (writers), along with the upcoming live-action feature Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (writers). Studios involved include CBS’ new animation arm Eye Animation Productions, Alex Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment. The series is being overseen by Ramsey Naito, Nickelodeon’s Executive Vice President (EVP) of Production and Development. Claudia Spinelli, VP Animation Development, Nickelodeon, is the executive in charge of the new animated Star Trek series for Nickelodeon.

The animated series is the newest addition to the expanding Star Trek television universe. It joins Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Short Treks, a series of short stories tied to Discovery; the new Star Trek: Picard series featuring Sir Patrick Stewart (American Dad) reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard; Star Trek: Lower Decks from Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty), an animated series targeted at mature audiences; and a new Star Trek project based on Section 31, which is in development with Michelle Yeoh attached to star. All these projects, except the new Nickelodeon edition, are on the CBS streaming platform CBS All Access in the U.S.

The new Star Trek series is the third animated series from CBS Television Studios, following Star Trek: Lower Decks for CBS All Access and Our Cartoon President for SHOWTIME.

Are you excited about the new animated Star Trek show? Let us know in the comments.

Update (8/12):Star Trek is seeing a renaissance thanks to CBS All Access but fans have been wondering how they’re keeping everything straight between the shows and existing canon. While some might argue that Star Trek: Discovery didn’t do a great job at keeping canon with the previous series, co-showrunner Michelle Paradise has opened up as to how they’re keeping things straight with the upcoming shows.

It isn’t just Star Trek: Discovery that they have to factor in as they also are juggling Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, the Short Treks, as well as the Nickelodeon animated series, and recently announced untitled Section 31 show.

As to how Paradise, Alex Kurtzman, and the rest of the creatives are keeping things organized, she shared that:

“I would say every iteration of Star Trek we want to be aware of and we want to honor. It’s important to us to do that. Alex [Kurtzman], as he works on that and works on our show, he lets us know if there’s anything that we need to be aware of in terms of history… We’re also aware that all of the iterations of Star Trek, so we really want to make sure that we’re not doing anything in [Discovery] that directly contradicts something that we’ve seen established or that is being established on another spin-off.”

It seems that there is open communication as to what the franchise has planned moving forward. This may mean that we can see events from each of these shows be partially reflected in one another or, at the very least, mentioned in between the shows.

Are you glad that the creative branches of the Star Trek franchise are communicating for the upcoming shows which they have in production? Do you feel that they’ll do a better job moving forward at keeping with canon and hopefully not have to do any other retcons or playing around with time travel or mirror universes to make their stories work? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

###

Update (8/15) - Julie Benson, a co-producer on the Untitled Star Trek Animated Series for Nickelodeon, will be a panelist at the 26th annual Austin Film Festival & Writers Conference in October.

From Stevivor:

Two more live-action Star Trek TV shows in production

"There are two more live action shows that haven’t been announced yet."
Two unannounced live-action Star Trek TV shows are in production, franchise head Alex Kurtzman has confirmed.

“There are two more live action shows that haven’t been announced yet,” Kurtzman told assembled reporters on the press junket for Star Trek: Picard, as reported by Trek Core.

The two shows are in addition to those already airing or announced, including Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard and a Section 31 show starring Michelle Yeoh. Those shows are in addition to two animated series, Star Trek: Lower Decks and an unnamed show being made for Nickelodeon.

“We’ve started working on Season 2 [of Picard], and we have a really excellent story, I think — and a very surprising one. But I think it’s really important for us to take it piece by piece. Part of this, too, is getting reactions from people,” Kurtzman said ahead of Star Trek: Picard‘s debut on 24 January.

“Before we lock things, down it’s terribly important to listen to fans, and hear what they like — and what they didn’t respond to — or what wasn’t clear, and make sure we’re tacking accordingly. I learned when I started working in the ‘Star Trek’ world that that’s a really essential part of making these shows.”

“[Section 31 is] in active development. So that’s obviously a huge priority; Michelle [Yeoh’s] character [Georgiou] is so unique, and you’ve never seen that before. Again, it has to fall under the guise of, ‘is this [show] a unique space we haven’t explored yet?’,” Secret Hideout’s Heather Kadin added.

“And then also, the animated shows [Lower Decks and the untitled Nickelodeon project] are also really going to provide that too. For someone like me, who gets to work on these shows — and then two nights a week, go watch a cut of Lower Decks — it’s a blast.”

While it’s unclear what the two new live-action shows could be, we’re willing to be one of them will star Anson Mount as Enterprise Captain, Christopher Pike. Do you have any guesses to what Secret Hideout and CBS are cooking up?

Star Trek: Picard heads to CBS All Access on 23 January, followed by Amazon Prime Video on 24 January. Star Trek: Discovery returns for its third season later this year and airs on CBS All Access and Netflix.

Life is more exciting, fun, and unpredictable with a pony, as seen in Nickelodeon’s new original animated series It’s Pony, premiering Saturday, Jan. 18. The 20-episode series follows the comedic adventures of Annie and her best friend, who just so happens to be an enthusiastic, unpredictable, and carefree pony.

The series stars Jessica DiCicco (Adventure Time) as Annie, an optimistic and determined farm girl living in the city with her family and best friend Pony; Josh Zuckerman (Strange Angel) as Pony, who is naïve and impulsive, but loves Annie more than anything; Abe Benrubi (E.R.) as Dad, who treats Pony as a nuisance, but recognizes the special bond he shares with Annie; and India de Beaufort (All Hail King Julien) as Mom, who loves Annie and Pony’s relationship and always has a new project in the works.

Additional cast members bringing characters to life include: Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) as Annie’s friend Fred; Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live) as Annie’s friend Brian; Rosario Dawson (Rent) as Annie’s school principal Ms. Ramiro; Mark Feuerstein (Royal Pains) as the landlord Mr. Pancks; Megan Hilty (Smash) as the too-obsessed-with-Pony friend Beatrice.

Throughout the season, the series will explore the everyday life and hijinks of two best friends whose optimism and enthusiasm turn any situation from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether making an epic quest down the street to mail a letter, heroically saving the local playground with a bake sale, or simply getting a haircut, Pony and Annie always stick together because life is better as a pair.

Created by Ant Blades, It’s Pony is inspired by a short from Nickelodeon’s 2015 International Animated Shorts Program. A pre-released episode is available to watch on the Nick App, Nick On Demand, YouTube and here on NickALive!.

Kerry Taylor, currently Executive Vice President of MTV International and Chief Marketing Officer for VCNI UK has been promoted to Executive Vice President of VCNI Entertainment & Youth Brands reporting to David Lynn and Chris McCarthy, President of Entertainment & Youth Brands, ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks. Taylor’s new remit will include international oversight of MTV, Comedy Central, Paramount Network and BET. Taylor has been with MTV International since 2007 and has been co-head of MTV International since 2012. Taylor is credited with reinventing the MTV international brand positioning, developing a successful global franchise strategy and commissioning content that drove international ratings success such as Geordie Shore, The Charlotte Show; Ex on The Beach and Just Tattoo of Us.

Taylor will continue to work closely with Bruce Gillmer, Executive Vice President, Music, Music & Talent programming/Events ViacomCBS. Jill Offman who previously led Comedy Central and Paramount network internationally will be dedicated to the international studio business, as Executive Vice President of ViacomCBS International Studios UK.

Jules Borkent has been promoted to Executive Vice President, VCNI Kids & Family, reporting to David Lynn and Brian Robbins, President, Kids & Family Entertainment, ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks. Borkent has been with Nickelodeon since 2001, having led channel operations and content strategy including programming, acquisitions, originals and digital for Nickelodeon International, which has delivered continued growth during his tenure. Working in close alignment with Nickelodeon US, Borkent established the international programming council and manages a multi-million-dollar content investment across kids & family programming.

Lynn commented, “Kerry and Jules are exceptional creative and strategic professionals. Kerry brings equal parts marketing acumen and a genuine connection to the global youth zeitgeist which has driven MTV’s successful international franchise strategy and ratings success. Jules is a respected industry voice, who’s dedicated to bringing unique and diverse content to Nickelodeon audiences around the world.”

Lynn added, “Consolidating our international flagship brands into two groups will simplify our structure and more closely align our business with ViacomCBS’ U.S. brands, enabling us to share more content and resources across our different brands and extract maximum value from our content investment and libraries.”

VCNI Pan-Regional Leadership:

Maria Kyriacou, who most recently was President of International for ITV Studios, will now join the newly expanded division on February 3, 2020 with a new brief as President, ViacomCBS Networks UK & Australia, which includes responsibility for Ireland, New Zealand and Israel. With focused oversight of ViacomCBS’s operations in its two most valuable international markets, including its free-to-air broadcast networks, Channel 5 and Network 10, Kyriacou will seek content and commercial synergies between the company’s portfolio of networks and streaming services across these English-language markets. Paul Anderson, who is CEO of Network 10, additionally becomes EVP, ViacomCBS Networks Australia and New Zealand with immediate effect, reporting to Kyriacou.

At the same time, Raffaele Annecchino, who is currently President of the division’s operations across Southern and Western Europe, the Middle East and Africa, will also take on an expanded role in the new structure, with additional responsibility for the company’s operations in Northern and Eastern Europe and key Asian markets. As President, ViacomCBS Networks Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia (EMEAA), Annecchino will aim to deliver additional growth in European markets through the closer alignment of its operations across the continent as part of an EMEA structure. With a track record of driving market-beating growth from both on-screen and off-screen activities in the markets for which he currently has responsibility, Annecchino will focus on developing scale in the company’s operations in EMEAA in addition to continuing to be responsible for VCNI’s mobile strategy.

JC Acosta will be the third of the division’s senior pan-regional leaders, having recently been promoted to President, ViacomCBS Networks Americas. In this role, Acosta is responsible for the company’s operations across Latin America – including the key markets of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico – as well as in Canada and the US Hispanic market. He is tasked with the ongoing expansion of ViacomCBS’s portfolio of networks, streaming services and associated businesses across the region including: its fast-growing Studios business in the Americas; Argentinian free-to-air broadcast market leader, Telefe; and, digital services including Porta Dos Fundos.

Both Borkent and Acosta succeeded Pierluigi Gazzolo, who prior to his recently announced promotion to President of Studios and OTT for ViacomCBS Networks International was President, VCNI Americas and Executive Vice President of Nickelodeon International. Gazzolo, who also reports to Lynn, assumed his new dedicated role on the 1st of this year and is an integral member of the VCNI leadership team focused on two key growth areas.

David Lynn commented: “ViacomCBS is truly a global leader in terms of the quality, volume and range of content we produce and own and we aim to exploit the incredible pipelines at our disposal to deliver exceptional growth across international markets, not just for ourselves but for our partners as well. With Maria joining and with newly expanded roles for Raffaele, JC , Pier, Kerry and Jules we have an exceptional leadership team in place and a simplified structure that allows us to be more tightly focused on seeking out the most attractive opportunities to license our brands, content and IP in the highest value and fastest growing international markets, with a particular focus on accelerating our streaming strategy.”

As a result of these regional changes, Mark Whitehead, President & Managing Director of VCNI Asia Pacific, will be leaving the company, at the end of January 2020.

Lynn added: “I am extremely grateful for Mark’s many contributions to our ongoing success. He has played the leading role in transforming our operations across Asia to the point where they have just delivered their highest ever rate of annual growth. Mark leaves us excellently positioned in key markets across the region to continue on an exceptional growth trajectory.”

on Nickelodeon South East Asia

Share it: @NickAsia @allthat (Instagram) #allthat

Nickelodeon South East Asia premiered All New All That, a revival of the Nickelodeon's iconic '90s sketch series featuring a talented and diverse group of comedians who reflect the spirit and humor of today’s generation of kids, on Saturday 11th January 2020 at 18:30 (SG/PH)!

Ranging in age from 12-15, each new All That cast member brings their own unique comedic skill to the show, from impressions of today’s biggest celebrities, to original characters inspired by their lives, to physical comedy sketches, revitalizing the series for today's audience. New original comedic sketches include “Cancelled with Nathan,” Bed, Bath & Beyoncé” and “Marie Kiddo.” Executive produced by original cast members Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, All That will air regularly weekends at 18:30 (SG/PH) on Nickelodeon South East Asia.

The new Kids of Comedy are:

· Ryan Alessi– Born and raised in Chicago, Ryan Alessi, 14, began studying improv comedy at age eight with The Second City Improvisational Comedy Troupe. After moving to Los Angeles, he started studying with The Groundlings and developing his own characters and performing various impressions and accents.

· Reece Caddell– A Denver native, Reece Caddell, 12, started acting at the age of five and began performing sketch comedy when she started a YouTube channel with her two older sisters.

· Kate Godfrey– Kate Godfrey, 15, is an actress, singer and dancer from Scottsdale, Ariz. She began her career in her local community theater at the age of nine and was quickly accepted to the Broadway Youth Ensemble where she performed in New York City.

· Gabrielle Green– Gabrielle Green, 14, moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career after studying theatre at BAK Middle School of Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, Fla. Her credits include acting, voiceover work and working as a brand representative.

· Nathan Janak– Originally from Sugar Land, Texas, Nathan Janak, 14, began acting at six years old. In 2016, he participated in a nine-month intensive actor training program and later moved to Los Angeles. Janak has previously been seen as a guest star in Nickelodeon’s Henry Danger.

· Lex Lumpkin– Lex Lumpkin, 13, is an actor, singer, writer, impressionist and pianist from Indianapolis. His acting career began two years ago when he played the role of “Stuart” in the Indianapolis Repertory Theater’s production of Stuart Little.

· Chinguun Sergelen– Raised in Chicago, Chinguun Sergelen, 13, began acting at age nine. He is a Youth Ensemble member at The Second City Training Center Chicago and Laugh Out Loud Theater.

· Aria Brooks– Joining the cast for the second half of the new season will be Aria Brooks from Atlanta, Georgia. Brooks’ career is on the rise. She plays a younger version of Harriet Tubman in the upcoming film Harriet and will be featured in Netflix’s Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings anthology.

Shot in front of a live studio audience, this season of All That will see beloved roles are reprised in some of the series’ most memorable sketches including Mitchell as Good Burger's "Ed"; and Denberg as “Ms. Hushbaum,” the hypocritical “Loud Librarian.”

The season will also feature musical performances from today’s hottest artists, including JoJo Siwa, Young Dylan, Ciara, H.E.R., Ella Mai, Ally Brooke, Kane Brown, Bryce Vine, Daddy Yankee and CNCO, with surprise guests from the worlds of TV, film, comedy and more. The series will also host a Zoey 101 reunion, which will see Jamie Lynn Spears with fellow Zoey 101 castmates Paul Butcher, Sean Flynn, Kristin Herrera, Chris Massey, Erin Sanders and Matthew Underwood in an all-new version of the sketch “Thelma Stump.” Shot in Los Angeles, Calif. in November 2019, the new sketch features Spears reprising her role as the bacon-loving bodyguard who attempts to stop the All That cast members and stars of Zoey 101 from entering the set.

The series also features a appearance from Alisa Reyes, who, along with Mitchell, Thompson, Denberg and Server, helped make the original series a ‘90s icon for an entire generation of kids.

The show's iconic '90s theme song, "All That", performed by TLC also makes a welcome return.

All That was Nickelodeon’s longest running live-action series with 171 episodes across 10 seasons from 1994 to 2005. The franchise paved the way for a number of successful spinoffs, including: Kenan & Kel, The Amanda Show and The Nick Cannon Show; the feature-length film Good Burger; as well as audio recordings, books, festival tours, and numerous reunions celebrating the show’s impact on pop culture. All That was created by Brian Robbins and Mike Tollin.

All That helped launch the careers of comedy stars including Kenan Thompson, Amanda Bynes and Nick Cannon, and has featured musical guests and guest stars including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond), Brittany Snow, and Tia and Tamera Mowry from Sister, Sister.

All That is executive produced by Kenan Thompson (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, Saturday Night Live), Kel Mitchell (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, Sam & Cat, Game Shakers) and Kevin Kay (All That, SpongeBob SquarePants, Lip Sync Battle, Lip Sync Battle Shorties, Yellowstone). Jermaine Fowler (Superior Donuts, Sorry to Bother You) serves as a consulting producer. Production of All That for Nickelodeon is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content.

The All New All That made its world premiere on Nickelodeon USA on Saturday, June 15, at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
