A team of pet hamsters brave "royal missions" to protect their eight-year-old owner, Harry, in Nickelodeon's brand new animated preschool series, Hamsters of Hamsterdale, premiering this October on Nick Jr. Global!
Originally announced during Nickelodeon Upfront 2021 under the working title The Hamster Show, Hamsters of Hamsterdale is a new creator-driven 2D-animated preschool series that will help fuel Nickelodeon's ever-expanding content slate.
In Hamsters of Hamsterdale, "8-year-old Harry is the proud owner of a crew of hamsters and the builder of their detailed and expansive tubed home. Little does Harry know that his furry friends are constantly watching him, believing that Harry is their King and they are his heroic protectors. Together, the hamsters explore their kingdom, comedically misunderstanding the human world and braving 'royal missions,' such as saving King Harry from daily doom, granting his wishes and keeping his life running smoothly." The series is being made for a preschool audience.
Hamsters of Hamsterdale (26 x 11-minute episodes) is created by Zach Smith (Baby Shark’s Big Show!). Jason Groh (Go Away, Unicorn!, Wishfart) is the director and Lynne Warner (Corn & Peg, The Most Magnificent Thing) is the supervising producer for Nelvana. The series is executive produced by Colin Bohm, Doug Murphy, Zach Smith, Pam Westman, with Jason Groh serving as a director and Lan Lamon serving as a producer. The series is produced by Nelvana and animated by Atomic Cartoons.
