Produced by Nelvana, the 26-episode, 2D-animated series combines the struggles of tween life with the responsibility of controlling an entire dimension of monsters.
Ollie’s Pack follows Ollie and his backpack, which doubles as a powerful portal allowing an array of monsters to travel from the Monsterverse into Ollie’s world on Earth. Throughout the series, Ollie and his two best friends must protect the earth from the horrifying monsters that have escaped, while often utilizing the helpful monsters who assist with their everyday tween problems, like sneaking into a movie or winning their school’s Battle of the Bands contest. No matter the circumstances, Ollie’s thirst for adventure undoubtedly gets him into trouble that only he and his friends can resolve. The series is created by Pedro Eboli (Cupcake & Dino) and Graham Peterson (Rick & Morty), and is based on Monster Pack, an original short made for Nickelodeon’s 2013 Animated Shorts Program.
Ollie’s Pack made its world premiere on Nickelodeon in the U.S. in April 2020, and is currently rolling out on Nickelodeon channels and branded blocks internationally, reaching over 170 countries and territories.
When a fan asked Eboli on Twitter on whether Ollie’s Pack would be getting a season two, the creator revealed: "I don`t think there is a season 2 of Ollie`s Pack in the books, as far as I can tell. I was not contacted about it, and last I checked there were no news. Sorry."
At the moment, there doesn't seem to be plans for a second season of Ollie’s Pack, although this could change in the future.

I really wish Nickelodeon would give more new shows a chance instead of continuing to over-rely on SpongeBob SquarePants and The Loud House
ReplyDeleteOllie's Pack was a good-quality modern NickToon and it's a shame to see it be demoted to the cartoon burn-off channel known as NickToons Network!
Ollie's pack is cancelled
