Nickelodeon UK’s line-up of programming
Nickelodeon UK announced the network’s priority programming for the Spring/Summer season, featuring a strong roster of four brand new
shows.
A brand new series of Power Rangers Samurai will be aired on Nickelodeon this spring. Following on from the iconic series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Samurai sees a fresh generation of Rangers who must master the ancient Samurai Symbols of Power.
Planet Sheen - executive produced by Steve Oedekerk (Bruce Almighty), Keith Alcorn (The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron) and Jim Hope (The George Lopez Show) - will also be aired on Nickelodeon and follows the intergalactic tale of Sheen Guevera Estevez; the attention-challenged kid from Nickelodeon’s hit show The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron.
Brand new to pre-school channel Nick Jr. this season is the CG animated Bubble Guppies. Set in a vibrant underwater world, the show follows a group of inquisitive pre-schoolers, who will help young viewers discover and learn about their world through games, songs and adventure.
Another exclusive for Nick Jr. is Poppy Cat, voiced by Joanna Page (Gavin & Stacey) and based on the best-selling children’s books written and illustrated by Laura Jones. The animated series follows the imaginary adventures that a young girl called Lara creates for her pet cat Poppy.
Tina McCann, managing director Nickelodeon UK commented: “Spring/Summer 2011 sees one of the strongest new content slates in recent years for Nickelodeon UK, with exciting premieres such as Power Rangers Samurai, Planet Sheen, Bubble Guppies and Poppy Cat, along with new episodes of established hit shows. We believe this quality content will grow our audience and build our brand loyalty.”
