Nickelodeon has greenlit <strong><em>Max &amp; the Midknights<\/em><\/strong>, based on the best-selling children&#8217;s book series written and drawn by acclaimed author and cartoonist Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), and <strong><em>Rock, Paper, Scissors<\/em><\/strong>, the first short picked up for series from Nickelodeon&#8217;s Intergalactic Shorts Program. Today&#8217;s announcement was made by Ramsey Naito, President of Animation, Paramount Animation, and Nickelodeon Animation. <em>Max &amp; the Midknights<\/em> and <em>Rock, Paper, Scissors<\/em> will be produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These two series packed with relatable characters, hilarious escapades, and rich, imaginative worlds are the perfect additions to our Nickelodeon content family,&#8221; said Naito. &#8220;Translating the mega-popular <em>Max &amp; the Midknights<\/em> from a book to television series is a creative undertaking that we can&#8217;t wait to dive into, and the comedic adventures of friends <em>Rock, Paper and Scissors<\/em> is truly made for our Nickelodeon audience.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-3563314842\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Said Peirce: &#8220;I am absolutely delighted to join forces with my friends at Nickelodeon to bring <em>Max &amp; the Midknights<\/em> to life. Nickelodeon&#8217;s passion for unforgettable stories and iconic characters is unparalleled, and there&#8217;s no partner I&#8217;d rather work with. I couldn&#8217;t be happier.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Max &amp; the Midknights<\/em> (20 episodes) follows a determined 10-year-old girl named Max, who pursues her dream of becoming a knight by leading her friends on an epic adventure in the fantastical medieval kingdom of Byjovia. The greenlight marks Nickelodeon&#8217;s second series based on the beloved works from Peirce and follows Big Nate, which is set to debut next year.<\/p>\n<p>As a small girl with big ideas in the Middle Ages, Max will defy the status quo, fight for justice, and inspire everyone she meets with her feisty and fearless leadership. Not only will <em>Max and the Midknights<\/em> battle sword-wielding zombies, duel a malevolent sorceress, and tame a fire-breathing dragon, they&#8217;ll also have loads of fun, forge lasting bonds of friendship, and push each other to be braver and bolder versions of themselves. Clever, kind, and seriously sassy, Max is always ready to lend a hand &#8212; or a sword &#8212; whenever anyone needs help.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rock, Paper, Scissors<\/em> (20 episodes) brings the iconic childhood game to life! This character-driven comedy follows the hilarious shenanigans of roommates <em>Rock, Paper, and Scissors<\/em> on their hijinks and ridiculous adventures. Rock, the moral compass of the group, is always struggling at his dream of becoming a model; Paper is an inventor and the brains of the group (if by &#8220;brains&#8221; you mean &#8220;making stuff that&#8217;s always blowing up&#8221;), and Scissors is the wannabe cool guy whose ego brings an endless fountain of chaos to these three friends. No matter how much they compete and mess with each other, at the end of the day, they will always bond over their shared love of one thing: wacky nonsense.<\/p><div id=\"morty-564780277\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The <em>Max &amp; the Midknights<\/em> television series is executive produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Jane Startz (<em>Ella Enchanted<\/em>, <em>The Magic School Bus<\/em>, <em>Baby Sitter&#8217;s Club<\/em>) and Lincoln Peirce (<em>Big Nate<\/em>) and produced by Amy McKenna (<em>Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Wonder Woman: Bloodlines<\/em>).
