In the wake of the 2020 Kids' Choice Awards being postponed due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Nickelodeon has something exciting in store for fans this weekend.
On Saturday night the network will be virtually holding the "ultimate house party," revealing the first-ever Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2020: Celebrate Together, a brand-new special that will benefit No Kid Hungry and is being hosted by Victoria Justice. The special will also feature a sneak-peek of Nickelodeon's upcoming Slime Voyage.
Update (9/1) - Nickelodeon recently held a press day for The Astronauts!:
Update (5/19) - Imagine Kids+Family reportedly tried to acquire the use of eight Rotofarms for use in The Astronauts, however, Rotofarm creator Toby Farmer unfortunately didn't have Rotofarms to spare the production. Rotofarm is a device inspired by NASA research on growing plants in space. It uses anti-gravity — literally, when the wheel rotates around its LED light source and the plants are hanging upside down — to grow plants faster. A magnetic cover reduces the glare and increases the internal humidity. You manage it via an app.
