The official website of Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand, nickelodeon.com.au, has unveiled the channels brand new official "Sanjay and Craig" show website, which may indicate that Nick AU & NZ, and Nickelodeon channels and networks around the world (Planet Nickelodeon / Planet Orange), including Nickelodeon UK, may start to premiere and show Nickelodeon's latest all-new original animated series (Nicktoon) "Sanjay and Craig" quite soon! Nick Australia and New Zealand, the Australian and Kiwi version of the popular children's channel, have also recently launched the networks' official "Sam & Cat" and "Monsters Vs. Aliens" show pages.
Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand's official "Sanjay & Craig" website features a Meet The Characters section featuring bios for each of the characters in "Sanjay and Craig" - Sanjay Patel, Craig, Megan Sparkles, Hector Flanagan, and Remington Tufflips - and a show info page featuring information about Nick's brand new animated comedy series "Sanjay and Craig".
"Sanjay and Craig" (20 episodes x 30 minutes) follows the adventures of Sanjay, an excitable and irreverent 12-year-old boy (Maulik Pancholy, "30 Rock") and Craig, a smooth-talking snake and master of disguise (Chris Hardwick, "Nerdist", "The Talking Dead"). Together, they embark on epic kid-inspired quests that are at times totally ridiculous, absolutely gross and weirdly sweet. From perfecting the ultimate bike skid, tightroping across a pool of garbage on a dare or Craig manipulating a contest to win his best buddy one hundred dogs, their routine hijinks often cross into the land of the fantastical and the absurd. Only Sanjay and his closest friends can hear Craig's warped words of wisdom. The only thing that stands in their way is their unhinged, snake-phobic neighbor, Mr. Noodman (Tony Hale, "Veep", "Arrested Development"), who's always on the verge of figuring out that Craig can talk.
"Sanjay and Craig" is a brand-new, creator-driven animated series that blends a comedic and stylistic sensibility with a distinctive mix of unusual, wonderful and random humor. The series features the additional voice talents of Linda Cardellini ("Mad Men", "Freaks and Geeks") as Megan; Matt Jones ("Breaking Bad") as Hector; Kunal Nayyar ("The Big Bang Theory") as Vijay; Grey DeLisle ("The Fairly OddParents") as Darlene and Sandy Dickson; and "Remington Tufflips" as himself.
Sanjay and Craig is created and co-executive produced by first-generation Nickelodeon viewers Jim Dirschberger, Jay Howell and Andreas Trolf, who were influenced by the cartoons from their childhoods to create content for today’s post-millennial kids. These first-time creators were paired with award-winning writers and producers Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi (The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Alvin and the Chipmunks) to develop this original animated series.

What's Next For BTR?
The guys may be on a Big Time Tour right now, but Kendall spilled some secrets about their last day on set - and what's next for the boys!
With Season 4 of the hit show complete, Rushers can't help but wonder what's next for James, Carlos, Kendall, and Logan. A four-season run is a huge success for any TV show, but now that the guys are getting older and pursuing different projects, everyone's wondering what their next move will be, As Carlos pursues his dream of directing and Kendall works on new music with his band Heffron Drive, fans are concerned that it might be the end:
But not to worry! "We're doing the tour and we have our album out," Kendall tells Popstar! exclusively. "It's all kind of happening right now, nothing is going away. Especially with this new album, who knows what song might just take off on its own."
Plus, Kendall spills on a big time rumour that Rushers are hoping becomes a reality! "I even heard that we're going to come back and do a movie or something, so we're going to keep filming," he spills. "They didn't get rid of the sets."
However, there are a few props from the set that are long gone! "There's this blue microphone," smiles Kendall. "We wrapped [filming] in the booth and there were all four of the mics and I just put it in my pocket. And then one of the gold records they had on the wall, I took the Boys in the Attic platinum record." But Kendall quickly learned that not everything you see on TV works in real life.
"I got to a rehearsal and plugged the mic in and it was a fake microphone," he explains. "I should have known the microphones would be fake too!"
All jokes aside, the last day of filming was an emotional one for the guys. "Carlos always gets sentimental first," he says. But things didn't get too sentimental because Kendall isn't ready to let go yet! "I'm still holding onto that its not over until somebody says it is, and the filming isn't over," he says. So what was it like on the last day of shooting season four? "We wrapped and the first person I went to was Scott obviously because he created the whole thing. I couldn't say much because if I talked at all I would have been choked up. Someone would be like, 'It was a great four years.' And I'd just be like, 'Yep' and that's all I could get out." Aww! With a huge tour and a hot new album, BTR is in no rush to say goodbye!
