The adventures of a 10-year-old girl dreaming of knighthood and
the hijinks of best friends Rock, Paper and Scissors will soon
unfold on Nickelodeon with the pickup of two all-new animated
series. Nickelodeon has greenlit Max & the Midknights, based on
the best-selling children’s book series written and drawn by
acclaimed author and cartoonist Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), and
Rock, Paper, Scissors, the first short picked up for series from
Nickelodeon’s Intergalactic Shorts Program. Today’s announcement
was made by Ramsey Naito, President of Animation, Paramount
Animation and Nickelodeon Animation. Max & the Midknights and
Rock, Paper, Scissors will be produced by Nickelodeon Animation
Studio in Burbank.
“These two series packed with relatable characters, hilarious
escapades and rich, imaginative worlds are the perfect additions to
our Nickelodeon content family,” said Naito. “Translating the
mega-popular Max & the Midknights from a book to television
series is a creative undertaking that we can’t wait to dive into,
and the comedic adventures of friends Rock, Paper and Scissors is
truly made for our Nickelodeon audience.”
Said Peirce: “I am absolutely delighted to join forces with my
friends at Nickelodeon to bring Max & the Midknights to life.
Nickelodeon's passion for unforgettable stories and iconic
characters is unparalleled, and there's no partner I'd rather work
with. I couldn't be happier.”
Max & the Midknights (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’s second series based off the beloved works from Peirce
and follows Big Nate, which is set to debut next year.
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 Max and the
Midknights battle sword-wielding zombies, duel a malevolent
sorceress, and tame a fire-breathing dragon, they'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 -- or a
sword -- whenever anyone needs help.
Rock, Paper, Scissors (20 episodes) brings the iconic childhood
game to life! This character-driven comedy follows the hilarious
shenanigans of roommates Rock, Paper, and Scissors 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 “brains” you mean
“making stuff that’s always blowing up”); 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.
The Max & the Midknights television series is executive
produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Jane Startz (Ella
Enchanted, The Magic School Bus, Baby Sitter’s Club) and Lincoln
Peirce (Big Nate) and produced by Amy McKenna (Batman: The Brave
and the Bold, Wonder Woman: Bloodlines). Sharon Flynn (All Hail
King Julien) and David Skelly (The Muppets, Toy Story 2, Monsters,
Inc.) serve as co-executive producers and showrunners. Nathan

Stegina (Robot Chicken) and Josh Lehrman (Robot Chicken). Bob Boyle
(The Fairly OddParents) and Conrad Vernon (Sausage Party) serve as
