In celebration of Nickelodeon's upcoming Henry Danger animated spinoff The Adventures of Kid Danger and Captain Man, star Jace Norman recently joined Hidden Remote to discuss the exciting new chapter in the Henry Danger franchise!
Last week during Nickelodeon Upfront 2017, Nickelodeon announced an exciting new venture in the Henry Danger franchise with the pick up of The Adventures of Kid Danger and Captain Man(working title), a brand-new animated spin-off of the network’s top-rated superhero comedy series! Through the half-hour series, the beloved crime-fighting duo of Captain Man and Henry Danger make the jump to animation in a series which follows the duo as they embark on new wild adventures where they’ll face off against new threats in previously unseen lands.
Without any limitations, the new animated series will offer an exciting new look into Kid Danger and Captain Man’s adventures as they battle against monsters, aliens and going places the writers have been unable to explore until now!

Following the special announcement, Hidden Remote caught up with Henry Danger star Jace Norman, who plays Henry Hart and his superhero alter-ego Kid Danger on the series, to get the inside scoop on the series’ new animated spin-off, discuss the current season of Henry Danger, his latest Kids’ Choice Awards nominations and more!
Hidden Remote: First off, congratulations on the continued success of Henry Danger and on the series’ new animated spinoff! When you found out Nickelodeon was planning the spin-off what was your initial reaction to the news?
Norman: I was really excited! I had heard rumors about it and we didn’t really know if it was happening for sure. We had done a little preview of it – we did a couple of animated shorts that went up online and I think those got like 30 million views each – so they were really trying to make it a show. I know that Dan [Schneider] really wanted to [work on an animated spinoff] before we did those little pilots for online, so it was kind of a natural progression and when we finally got the word it was exciting.
Hidden Remote: Looking back, did you ever imagine that the show would not only become such an incredible hit with viewers but that you’d one day get the chance to voice the character in an animated spinoff as well?
Norman: I hoped obviously [that the series would be a success], but you never know and I had no idea about the animated series – that came completely out of the blue.

Nickelodeon has teamed up with child rights organization Plan International for a new pro-social campaign dedicated to promoting gender equity this spring, inviting kids to “rock themselves to greatness” with Together We Rock — comprised of a new digital game and an international marathon of empowerment-themed episodes of hit series School of Rock!
The recently launched campaign will run through the month of May 2017.
“At Nickelodeon, we’re fortunate to have a global platform that allows us to encourage the world to be a more playful place for kids everywhere,” said Mario Cader-Frech, SVP of Public Affairs & Social Responsibility at Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN). “Giving young girls creative tools that empower them to be proactive, bold leaders and help them navigate their world is an important part of that responsibility. Working with Plan International, we created Together We Rock specifically to remind kids that anyone can be a leader, regardless of gender.”
As part of Nickelodeon’s Together For Good initiative, the two entities are launching the Together We Rock game for free through Nick.com (playable on desktop and mobile). The game is led and narrated by Tomika from School of Rock, with players joining her on a quest to recruit new band members and unlock customizable elements through gameplay that lead to conquering bigger rock venues on their climb to the top — all while using concepts in coding to progress.
Together We Rock
During the game’s development process, Nick and members of the Plan International Youth Delegation — including young leaders aged between 16 and 25 from El Salvador, Uganda and the US — met at Viacom’s New York headquarters for a brainstorming session, coinciding with International Day of the Girl last fall. The meeting explored how the serious subject of gender equity could be explored in a fun way.
International Day of the Girl is a global observance day declared by the United Nations to grow opportunities for girls and increase awareness of the challenges and gender barriers to education, healthcare, legal rights and more faced by girls worldwide.
“Plan International is thrilled to continue our partnership with Nickelodeon International. As a child-centered, rights-based organization, we are impressed with and grateful for Nickelodeon’s commitment to tackling global gender inequity and teaching about gender equality in a fun and accessible way for young people,” says Tessie San Martin, President and CEO of Plan International USA. “Plan believes in the importance of youth having a voice at the decision-making table. Inviting game design participation and feedback from a diverse group of young people is a powerful example of Nickelodeon walking the talk around investing in youth, achieving gender equity, and promoting child rights.”
Nickelodeon channels will be airing a School of Rock marathon during the month of May across more than 170 countries and territories internationally, showcasing episodes from the live-action show that put female role models, equity-themed moments, and self-confidence in the spotlight.

Before Nickelodeon’s rolls out its newest original series, Hunter Street star Stony Blyden is shining a light on the mysterious new series and what’s ahead from the 20-episode series!
This spring, Nickelodeon is transporting viewers to a world of mystery and adventure to follow one foster family on their hunt to find their missing parents in its new original series, Hunter Street!
The adventure begins when young Max (Stony Blyden) moves in with his new foster family and is quickly embraced by his foster parents Erik (Ronald Top) and Kate Hunter (Tooske Ragas) and his new siblings Sal (Daan Creyghton), Anika (Krya Smith), Daniel (Thomas Jansen), and Tess (MaeMae Renfrow). For the first time, Max finally feels connection to his foster family but his world is quickly turned upside down when Erik and Kate mysteriously disappear during his first night in his new home.
Following their disappearance, Max and his new siblings are thrust into the adventure of a lifetime as they work together to find their parents on an epic and suspenseful family adventure. Soon, the siblings are racing through canals, exploring secret tunnels and discovering hidden treasures while working to solve the mystery of their parents’ disappearance and fighting off old family rivals and untrustworthy heirs.
Stony Blyden, who plays 'Max Hunter'
Ahead of Hunter Street's series premiere on Monday, March 13, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT), Hidden Remote caught up with star Stony Blyden to discuss his character Max and the exciting adventure ahead this season for the Hunter kids!
Hidden Remote: When you first read the script for the series, what was it about the role and your character in particular that attracted you to the project and made you excited to be a part of the series?
Stony Blyden: The first thing I noticed was just how accepting all the characters were of one another. We have five different kids from all over the world going from being complete strangers to becoming an actual family. It was just really special.
HR: You play Max, who is described as naturally cool and funny with a heart of gold, but what can you tell us about Max and how he fits into the series?
Blyden: Yeah, so Max has pretty much spent most of his life bouncing between different foster homes; never really fitting or feeling like he belonged. That is until he meets the Hunter family and right away feels a connection that he’s never felt before. These people are important to him and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep them together.
Anika (Kyra Smith), Tess (MaeMae Renfrow), Sal (Daan Creyghton), and Max (Stony Blyden)
HR: Max’s new foster family is on the larger side, so how would you describe his relationship with is various foster siblings and how they vary from one another?
Blyden: It’s cool because if you look at the show as a whole, you’ll see these moments that he has with each character over the series. Whether it be a science experiment with Sal, a food fight with Anika and Thomas, or going on some wacky adventure with Tess. It’s these things that eventually bring them closer together.
HR: As you mentioned, Max has bounced around from foster home to foster home before finally finding the Hunter family who embrace him wholeheartedly. How has his past shaped who he has become when we first meet him and how will the hardships of his past influence his actions as he works to find his foster parents, Erik and Kate?
Blyden: Yeah, I mean one of the first scenes of the show is Max’s advisor telling him that if it doesn’t work out with him and the Hunter family, the only thing left is an orphanage. That’s the last thing Max wants so he’s willing to give it everything he’s got. And because he’s never really had a family he feels at home and later in the show you see how hard he’s willing to fight for them to stay together.

HR: Speaking of the search for Erik and Kate, what can you tell us about your character’s foster parents and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance?
Blyden: So what starts as a regular “person search” when they disappear, ends up being a lot deeper than what the kids originally thought. There’s a lot of secrets about their parents and their family they didn’t know. Can’t say much more than that….you’ll have to WATCH!
HR: And can you offer up any teasers as to who might be behind their disappearance or discuss any of the obstacles Max and his siblings face on their journey?
Blyden: I can’t go into too much detail in regard to their disappearance but I CAN tell you that we go on an epic and suspenseful adventure, including boat racing through the canals of Amsterdam, exploring secret tunnels and uncovering lost treasures!!
HR: Talking about Max’s journey throughout the series, what can fans look forward to from your character as the season progresses?
Blyden: He learns to love the people around him and not take family for granted because in the end that’s the most important thing you have.
HR: Is there a particular moment that you’re really excited for fans to see? Perhaps a favorite scene or episode?
Blyden: There’s a scene where me and Daan dress up as vikings to sneak into a theatre show and I think people will enjoy watching that.
HR: Before we go, what would be your best sales pitch to viewers unsure of whether they’ll enjoy the series? Why should they be tuning in this spring?
Blyden: I promise you, you’ve never seen anything like this on Nickelodeon. It’s so packed with mystery, adventure and comedy that once you’re in, you’re in for good!
