Nickelodeon Germany To Premiere "Game Shakers" On Sunday 17th January 2016

The Nickelodeon Germany fan Facebook page "Nick News" is reporting the exciting Nickelodeon International news that Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland) will start to premiere and show Nickelodeon's brand-new original comedy series "Game Shakers" from Sunday 17th January 2016!

Although unconfirmed, it is expected that Nickelodeon Austria (Österreich), Nickelodeon Switzerland (Schweiz), Nickelodeon Netherlands (Nederland), Nickelodeon Belgium (België; Flanders), Nickelodeon Denmark (Danmark), Nickelodeon Sweden (Sverige), Nickelodeon Poland (Polska) and Nickelodeon Norway will also debut Nick's all-new sitcom "Game Shakers" at the same time.

Created by hit-maker Dan Schneider ("Henry Danger", "iCarly", "Victorious", "Sam & Cat", "Zoey 101", "Drake & Josh", "Kenan & Kel"), "Game Shakers" follows a pair of 7th grade girls, Babe (Cree Cicchino) and Kenzie (Madisyn Shipman), who, after creating a wildly successful mobile game app called Sky Whale for a science project, start a gaming company in Brooklyn called Game Shakers with their friend Hudson (Thomas Kuc).

They're making games and kicking app!

But when superstar rapper Double G (Kel Mitchell, "Kenan & Kel", "All That", "Good Burger"), a super successful, unpredictable rapper, finds out the girls used one of his songs in their game without licensing it, he threatens to sue them for all he is owed! To make things right, Babe and Kenzie decide to make the rap superstar their business partner and hire his son, Triple G (Benjamin Lil P-Nut” Flores, Jr, "The Haunted Hathaways"), as a game consultant. Together, Babe, Kenzie, Hudson, Triple G and Double G will work to make Game Shakers a huge success in the gaming world! Will this new deal be a high score or a game over for Babe and Kenzie? Let the games begin!

Leading up to the debut of "Game Shakers" on Nickelodeon Germany, viewers can play "Sky Whale", the game featured in the series' premiere episode, on iOS and Android by downloading the app for free!

But will their combined power be enough to take down this intergalactic bounty hunter and his menacing team of monsters? Dino Charge Ready!

The latest season of "Power Rangers" promises to be larger-than-life and will deliver more Dino-charged action and adventure than ever before, with an out-of-this-world storyline and an epic new team of Rangers.
