Nickelodeon's new animated preschool series, Butterbean’s Café
Preschoolers will be whisked away on magical culinary adventures in Nickelodeon’s brand-new CG-animated series, Butterbean’s Café, premiering Monday 4th February 2019 at 07:35 Uhr on Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland) and at 07:45 Uhr on Nickelodeon Austria (Österreich) and Nickelodeon Switzerland (Schweiz)! Following launch, new episodes of Butterbean’s Café will air regularly weekdays at 07:35 Uhr on Nick Deutschland and at 07:45 Uhr on Nick Österreich and Nick Schweiz.
Butterbean’s Café will also premiere on Nick Jr. Deutschland on Monday 4th February 2019 at 03:00 Uhr, and will regularly throughout the week.
Update (31/1) - Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland) has made a late schedule change which will see the channel remove its preschool programming block from its schedule from Monday 4th February 2019. The move means that Butterbean’s Café will not premiere on the main Nickelodeon channel in Germany on that date as originally planned. However, Butterbean’s Café will still premiere on Nick Jr. Deutschland on Monday 4th February 2019 at 03:00 Uhr, and will regularly throughout the week. The schedule change does not effect Nickelodeon Austria (Österreich) and Nickelodeon Switzerland (Schweiz).
Created by Robert Scull and Jonny Belt (Bubble Guppies), Butterbean’s Café, the series (40 episodes) centers on a fairy named Butterbean and her adventures running her neighborhood café and bakery, and showcases creative cooking and features a curriculum with social-emotional lessons that highlight kindness and gratitude, and leadership skills.
In the series, Butterbean, her fairy friends--Dazzle, Poppy and Jasper --and her little sister Cricket take pride in serving up healthy snacks and sweet treats to the residents in their community of Puddlebrook. Butterbean’s special magic beans, the fairies’ enchanted kitchen tools and the team’s can-do spirit all combine to make their cafe the most awesome eatery in town.
In Butterbean’s Café’s series premiere, “The Grand Opening!,” Butterbean and her friends work together to make the opening of the café a success, while competing café owner Ms. Marmalady (voiced by Alysia Reiner of Orange Is the New Black) attempts to throw them off track.
Online at nickjr.de, parents and children can find out more about Butterbean’s Café, dance-along to the Deutsche version of the Butterbean’s Café theme song, and watch the first episode in full for free!

Butterbean’s Café made its world debut on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Monday 12th November 2018, and will be rolling out on Nickelodeon’s international channels and branded blocks throughout 2019.
The US-English dub of Butterbean’s Café features the voice talent of Margaret Ying Drake as Butterbean, Olivia Grace Manning as Dazzle, Kirrilee Berger as Poppy, Koda Gursoy as Jasper, and Gabriella Pizzolo as Cricket, and features guest voice appearances by top celebrity chefs and culinary experts, including Richard Blais (Top Chef, Guy’s Grocery Games), Alton Brown (Good Eats, Iron Chef America), Carla Hall (The Chew, Top Chef), Padma Lakshmi (Top Chef), Giada De Laurentiis (Giada at Home) and Rachael Ray (The Rachael Ray Show).

Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland) is set to revamp its morning schedules in February 2019.
Currently, Nick Deutschland, a free-to-air (FTA) channel in Germany, airs a selection of preschool series, such as Team Umizoomi, Dot., Blaze and the Monster Machines, Rusty Rivets, Shimmer and Shine, Top Wing, Nella the Princess Knight and Sunny Day every morning, however, from Monday 4th February 2019, these will be replaced with marathons of shows aimed at older children. Marathons include back-to-back episodes of Spongebob Schwammkopf, Fairly OddParents (Cosmo&Wanda: Wenn Elfen helfen), The Loud House (Willkommen bei den Louds), School of Rock, Pokémon, Die Thundermans, Make It Pop, and The Penguins of Madagascar (Die Pinguine aus Madagascar).
Viewers of Nickelodeon's preschool programming block will still be able to find all their favourite Nick Jr. shows, and more, such as PAW Patrol, on Nick Jr., Nickelodeon's dedicated channel for preschoolers. Programming will also be available to watch online at nickjr.de and via the channel's Video-On-Demand partners.
Nick has decided to shakeup the morning schedules in an effort to diversify the mornings.
The move will effect the premiere of Butterbean’s Café. Nickelodeon's brand-new CG-animated series, which was set to debut in the preschool block on Monday 4th February 2019. Butterbean’s Café will now launch as a Nick Jr. channel exclusive on Sunday 3rd February 2019 airing Sundays to Thursdays at 03:00 Uhr, with encores everyday, so viewers can catch the latest episodes.
The move, however, will not effect Nickelodeon Switzerland (Schweiz) and Nick Austria (Österreich), who will continue to air the Nick Jr. programming block everyday.
The news follows Nickelodeon's decision to close down Nicknight, the channel's evening programming block, and replace it with MTV+1, a timeshift version of the main MTV channel in November 2018. Like the Nick Jr. block, Nicknight still airs on Nickelodeon in Switzerland and Austria, airing a range of retro Nickelodeon shows, such as Rugrats, Bucket & Skinner, Rocket Power, Big Time Rush, AAAHH!!! Real Monsters (Aaahh!!! Monster), Clarissa Explains It All, Drake & Josh, iCarly, How to Rock, Rocko's Modern Life (Rockos modernes Leben), Sam & Cat, Victorious, SpongeBob Schwammkopf, All Grown Up!, Zoey 101 and The Penguins of Madagascar (Die Pinguine aus Madagascar).
Schon kommende Woche: Nickelodeon trennt sich von Nick Jr.
Nickelodeon nimmt weitreichende Veränderungen in seinem Programmschema vor. Wie der Sender gegenüber TV Wunschliste bestätigte, verschwindet der vormittägliche Nick Jr.-Block schon kommende Woche und wird durch täglich wechselnde Serien ersetzt, die sich nicht vorrangig an Vorschulkinder richten. Zum vorerst letzten Mal sind Formate wie "Top Wing", "Dot." oder "Rusty Rivets" am 3. Februar zu sehen. Ab dem 4. Februar bestückt Nickelodeon sein Programm bereits ab 5.45 Uhr mit Marathons von bekannten Produktionen wie "SpongeBob Schwammkopf" und "Cosmo und Wanda".
So sind am Montag, 4. Februar, bis 10.30 Uhr nonstop Folgen von "SpongeBob Schwammkopf" zu sehen. Die Zusammensetzung des Programms an den weiteren Tagen variiert täglich und wöchentlich. In der ersten Februarwoche sind am Dienstagmorgen "Cosmo und Wanda" und ab 8.00 Uhr "Die Thundermans" zu sehen, am Mittwoch "Die Pinguine aus Madagascar" und "School of Rock", am Donnerstag "Willkommen bei den Louds" und "Die Pinguine aus Madagascar" sowie am Freitag "Pokémon" und "Willkommen bei den Louds". Am Samstag gibt es bis 9.30 Uhr einen "SpongeBob"-Marathon, am Sonntag einen "Willkommen bei den Louds"-Marathon. In den darauffolgenden Wochen sind vormittags auch Marathons von "Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn", "Henry Danger", "Spotlight" und "Sam & Cat" eingeplant.
"Wir haben uns entschieden, den Vormittag bei Nick zu verändern und den bislang rein auf Vorschulprogramme konzentrierten Morgen abwechslungsreicher zu gestalten. Zukünftig richten wir das Programm flexibel an alle Altersstufen und rücken stärker Formate wie 'Willkommen bei den Louds', 'SpongeBob Schwammkopf' oder 'Cosmo & Wanda' in den Fokus, die sowohl jüngere als auch ältere Kinder begeistern. Unsere reinen Vorschulformate finden Kinder und Eltern den veränderten Nutzungsgewohnheiten entsprechend verstärkt bei nickjr.de und unseren VOD-Partnern", teilt Steffen Kottkamp, Brand Director Kids & Family GSA, auf Anfrage von TV Wunschliste mit.
Nachdem sich Nickeloden zum 1. November 2018 zugunsten einer zeitversetzten Version von MTV von seiner abendlichen Programmfarbe Nicknight getrennt hat, verschwindet mit Nick Jr. nun also bereits der zweite Programmblock. Als Pay-TV-Sender bleibt die Marke Nick Jr. jedoch in Deutschland erhalten. Unberührt von den Programmänderungen sind darüber hinaus die Ländervarianten Nick Austria und Nick Schweiz, wo es weiterhin den Nick-Jr.-Block geben wird. Beide Kanäle senden im Gegensatz zur deutschen Version auch immer noch 24 Stunden am Tag inklusive Nicknight-Programmblock. Österreichische und Schweizer Zuschauer dürfen sich kommende Woche auf ein Wiedersehen mit Klassikern wie "Rugrats", "All Grown Up - Fast erwachsen", "Rocket Power" und "KatzeKratz" im Abendprogramm freuen - deutschen Fans werden diese Serien hingegen vorenthalten.
Nickelodeon has named veteran reality TV producer Rob Bagshaw as its Executive Vice President (EVP) of Unscripted Content.
In the newly created role, Bagshaw will lead development and production of unscripted content across all formats and platforms for Nickelodeon ranging from reality competition shows to live events like Kids’ Choice Awards and Kids’ Choice Sports. The new role is effective immediately. He will be based in Burbank, Calif., and report to Nickelodeon President Brian Robbins.
“Unscripted series are continually the most popular shows in every demo, and Rob has a proven talent for creating a wide range of hits,” said Robbins in a statement. “I’m excited to have him join our team, where he can use his experience and skills to create the next wave of fun, must-watch shows for our kids and family audience.”
Bagshaw brings over 20 years of unscripted television experience to Nickelodeon having produced and launched many groundbreaking shows throughout his career. He was most recently executive producer of upcoming YouTube series If I Could Tell You Just One Thing and E!’s The Funny Dance Show. He has previously served as Senior Vice President (SVP) and head of Bunim/Murray Production’s New York office, executive producer of current programming and development for BBC Worldwide Productions, and head of international programming for UK production company Mentorn Media. He has worked on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Project Runway All Stars, Top Chef Masters and Paradise Hotel, Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Challenge, and British talk shows This Morning and The Big Breakfast, among other unscripted shows.
“I am thrilled to join Brian and the Nickelodeon family to create an exciting slate of unscripted content,” said Bagshaw in a statement. “This is the perfect time to build on the network’s extraordinary legacy and bring audiences together with a new portfolio of awesome, co-viewing entertainment.”
It is the latest executive move for the Viacom network, which has been revamping its programming team under new president Brian Robbins. In the months since taking the helm of the kids network, Robbins has tapped Disney alum Paul DeBenedittis to oversee programming strategy and Ramsey Naito and Shauna Phelan to lead animation and scripted live action, respectively. Most recently, Paula Kaplan, the EVP of Talent and Development at Viacom Digital Studios (VDS) was named Executive Vice President of Talent and Development for Viacom Digital Studios and EVP of Talent for Nickelodeon.
Nickelodeon Asia is partnering with EYEYAH!, a Singapore-based publisher of social-emotional development activity books for kids, to raise awareness about the dangers of the internet by way of a 10-part animated series. The PSA-style videos will be available on Nick’s digital and on-air platforms across Asia as part of Safer Internet Day on Tuesday 5th February 2019.
EYEYAH! provided art direction to 10 illustrators—Yeah Yeah Chloe (Australia), 3Land Boy (Bangkok, pictured), Olivier Rinckel (France), Adeline Tan (Singapore), Domic Foong (Singapore), Esther Goh (Singapore), Yellow Mushmellow (Singapore), Kristian Jones (UK), Matt C Stoke (UK) and Russell Taysom (UK)—whose video concepts highlighting potentially dangerous aspects of the internet such as addiction, online strangers and privacy were then animated by Acid House in the Philippines.
Viewers will also be encouraged to talk about online safety by using the hashtag #internetsafe on social media.
The PSAs are a part of Nickelodeon International's ongoing Together for Good initiative, which, launched in 2015, aims to empower kids to make positive changes in the world around them. The initiative serves as Nickelodeon’s international platform to inspire its audiences to get involved in their communities, provide the resources and education to get the job done and celebrate the impact they are making every day, and encompasses a partnership with child rights organization Plan International on Together We Rock, a pro-social campaign to encourage gender equity. The kids broadcaster followed that up last year by partnering with NGO KidsRights Foundation to launch #KidsCan, a global campaign to teach children about making positive changes in their communities, and by partnering with the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) to launch the #AWFRoarChallenge, which includes the Together for Good Wildlife Special educational mini-series created to inspire kids to raise awareness about endangered wildlife and empower them to become change-makers.
All ten videos can be viewed on EYEYAH!'s official YouTube channel and in the videos embedded below.

Wonder Park (2019) - "Meet Steve!" - Paramount Pictures
Meet Steve (John Oliver)! Wonder Park's trusty chief safety officer! Just don't break any rules around him...
When the park of her dreams needs saving, only June’s imagination can bring it back to life! Experience the wonder of Wonder Park in theatres and RealD 3D in the US on March 15th and in 2D and 3D cinemas in the UK on April 8th!
Look out for Paramount Pictures' and Nickelodeon Movies' pre-game spot for Wonder Park this Super Bowl Sunday!
A tribute to creativity, Wonder Park tells the story of 10-year-old June, a wildly imaginative young girl who builds models of amusements parks with her mother. When June gets older, she starts to lose her sense of wonder and begins to shun her childhood ideas, including the idea of the park, packing away her models away. Nevertheless, her childhood catches up with her!
One day whilst exploring deep in the woods, in a magical moment, she discovers a roller coaster car buried under ivy. It transports her to a fantastical wonder park, like the ones she used to build, populated by animals who were its past employees. But the park is broken down, abandoned and in a state of decay.
June soon rediscovers the wonder of her world, and teams up with a whole host of talking animals to restore the park to its full glory, complete with spinning contraptions and inverting roller coasters, all whilst contending with a invasion of a army of cheeky chimpanzombies looking to stir up all kinds of destructive mischief.
The US version of the movie includes Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Rules Don’t Apply, The Producers) as Dad, Jennifer Garner (Nine Lives, The Tribes of Palos Verdes) as Mom, Kenan Thompson (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, SNL) as Gus, Ken Jeong (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Bob’s Burgers) as Cooper, Mila Kunis (Family Guy, A Bad Moms Christmas) as Greta, John Oliver (The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, live-action Lion King) as Steve, Ken Hudson Campbell, who voiced Boomer the Bear, Sofia Mali as Young June, Brianna Denski (Momsters: When Moms Go Bad) as June, Oev Michael Urbas as Banky, Norbert Leo Butz (Bloodline) as Peanut, Kate McGregor-Stewart as Aunt Albertine, Kevin Chamberlin as Uncle Tony, Kath Soucie (Rugrats, Hey Arnold!) as Bus Counselor Shannon, and Noen Perez as Chatty Kid.
The UK audio track of the movie features mostly the same voice talent, with a few changes: Iconic British voice talent Tom Baker (Doctor Who, Little Britain, Monarch on the Glen) will voice Boomer the Bear and YouTube sensations Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee will voice beavers Gus and Cooper!
The PG-rated film is written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows) from a story by Applebaum (Origin), Nemec (Knightfall), and Robert Gordon (Galaxy Quest). Appelbaum, Nemec, and Kendra Haaland serve as producers, with Karen Rosenfelt and Don Hahn executive producing. The movie is being produced by Paramount Animation, Nickelodeon Movies and Ilion Animation Studios. A director has yet to be announced for the movie.
Wonder Park is scheduled to roll into theaters on Friday, March 15, 2019. An animated television series based on the film will also debut on Nickelodeon in 2019.

Viacom Digital Studios (VDS) is expanding its talent and development team with two new hires: Heather Johns, formerly with Kevin Hart/Lionsgate’s Laugh Out Loud, and RJ Larese, who hails from Popsugar.
Johns has been named Vice President (VP) of talent and development for pop culture, music and lifestyle overseeing talent discovery, talent development, booking, and talent relations for MTV and BET digital brands. Meanwhile, Larese, VP of talent and development for comedy and kids programming, is focused on scouting, talent development, booking and talent relations for Nickelodeon and Comedy Central digital brands.
Both Johns and Larese report directly to Paula Kaplan, Viacom Digital Studios Executive Vice President (EVP) of talent and development and EVP of talent for Nickelodeon. Also reporting into Kaplan are Megan Bycel, Senior Vice President (SVP) of talent at Awesomeness (which Viacom bought last summer), and Aubrey Bendix, senior director of casting and talent relations who oversees scripted projects at Awesomeness.
“The Talent and Development team at Viacom Digital Studios is fully committed to discovering and developing talent that engages audiences across next-gen platforms,” Kaplan said in a statement. “In expanding the team with Heather and RJ and incorporating the diverse talent pool Megan oversees at Awesomeness, we are uniquely positioned to further pioneer VDS efforts in programming and production for young digital-native consumers.”
RJ Larese
Viacom formed VDS, led by president Kelly Day, in late 2017, and unveiled the venture at NewFronts 2018. Viacom Digital Studios encompasses a 300-staffer team that developed over 600 hours of original content in 2018 and struck talent deals including with teen influencer JoJo Siwa.
Johns joins VDS from Laugh Out Loud Network, the Kevin Hart/Lionsgate digital comedy platform, where she was VP of content and business development after serving as executive director of development.

SpongeBob SquarePants first debuted on Nickelodeon USA on May 1, 1999 and is still going strong.
Since its launch in July 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has emerged as a pop culture phenomenon. The series has been the most-watched animated program with kids 2-11 for more than 15 consecutive years, and over the past several years, it has averaged more than 100,000,000 total viewers every quarter across all Nickelodeon networks. SpongeBob SquarePants is the most widely distributed property in Viacom International Media Networks history, seen in more than 208 countries and territories and translated in 55+ languages. The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimistic and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. Among those friends are SpongeBob's best friend, a pink starfish named Patrick Star, his neighbor and co-worker octopus Squidward Tentacles, and Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from Texas.
SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Stephen Hillenburg, who previously worked as a writer, director and creative director on Nickelodeon's animated series Rocko's Modern Life. Hillenburg graduated from the California Institute of the Arts with a master's degree in experimental animation and his undergraduate degree, from Humboldt State University, was in natural science with an emphasis in marine biology. Hillenburg executive produced the series until his untimely passing in November 2018. His first feature film, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, which debuted Nov. 19, 2004 and his second theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, hit theaters Feb. 6, 2015, landing at #1 opening weekend.
SpongeBob has also been making news for a different reason as well and it involves paying tribute to the late Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants. A petition which calls for a SpongeBob Super Bowl tribute featuring "Sweet Victory", a song featured in the series and a favorite among fans, for the show creator has gained immense traction.
From the looks of it, fans’ effort to get a Super Bowl tribute seems to be a success. A recent promo video released by Maroon 5 on their official Twitter account has teased that the band has something planned to pay their tribute to Hillenburg.
