A representative from Silvergate Media, the studio that developed and produced Sunny Day, reportedly told a member of the Fans of Nick Jr, Disney Junior or PBS Kids Shows Facebook page that the show officially wrapped production not too long ago, and that most of the production crew have gone on to work on Nickelodeon and Silvergate's upcoming preschool series, Fashion Ally (working title).
The series centres on Sunny, a 10-year-old master hairstylist and entrepreneur who uses creative problem-solving to tackle any dilemma that arises in her seaside town of Friendly Falls. The characters in the series celebrate individuality and self-expression, while the show’s social-emotional curriculum highlights leadership, innovative thinking and teamwork.
Sunny is a confident and creative natural leader who runs her own hair salon in the town of Friendly Falls. When adventure calls, Sunny sets out to save the day with her can-do attitude, salon-on-the-go Glam Van, best friends and colleagues, Rox and Blair, and her dog Doodle. Each episode of Sunny Day features a unique digital extension where kids and their parents can watch fun, live-action hairstyle tutorials that are tied directly to the hairstyles featured in each episode and narrated by Sunny.
Initially greenlit for 40 episodes, Sunny Day made its world debut on Nickelodeon USA in August 2017 and has since rolled out on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. channels globally. In the U.S., season one currently has four more episodes left to air. Nickelodeon renewed the show for a 20-episode second season, which is slated to premiere on Nick in the near future. Season two will feature a new vehicle, Groom and Vroom, a new mobile saloon designed only on pets, in addition to the Glam Van. In addition, Lacey will join the salon team to manage Sunny’s new Pet Parlor.
The voice cast of the US-English dub of Sunny Day includes: Lilla Crawford as Sunny, Rob Morrison as Doodle, Élan Luz Rivera as Rox, and Taylor Louderman as Blair.
The voice cast of the British-English dub of Sunny Day includes: Lily Portman as Sunny, Chris Garner as Doodle, Abigail Wisdom as Rox, and Eleanor Snowdon as Blair.
Inspired by Sunny and her friends Rox and Blair’s colorful and creative personalities, Sunny Day consumer products featuring the bold, vibrant color palette from the show and spanning categories including toy, consumer electronics, home goods and more from best-in-class partners begun to roll-out in 2018. The all-new toy line created in conjunction with Mattel includes basic and deluxe doll assortments, accessories, plush, role play and playsets. It became available as a first-to-market in May 2018 at Walmart and rolled out to all other retailers in August 2018.
To support the new merchandise line, Nickelodeon launched the Sunny Day Tour, which kicked off at the Bentonville Film Festival in May 2018, before making stops at select Walmart stores across the country during the summer. This interactive experience was free to the public and included immersive activities, a product showcase and content screenings.
