Details have been revealed about the upcoming season finale of Nickelodeon's popular animated series, Ollie’s Pack, which combines the struggles of tween life with the responsibility of controlling an entire dimension of monsters!
Titled "Back To the Pack", the season one finale of Ollie’s Pack will be a two-part special - and it sounds like it's going to be epic!
Ollie’s Pack follows Ollie and his backpack, which doubles as a powerful portal allowing an array of monsters to travel from the Monsterverse into Ollie’s world on Earth. Throughout the series, Ollie and his two best friends must protect the earth from the horrifying monsters that have escaped, while often utilizing the helpful monsters who assist with their everyday tween problems, like sneaking into a movie or winning their school’s Battle of the Bands contest. No matter the circumstances, Ollie’s thirst for adventure undoubtedly gets him into trouble that only he and his friends can resolve. The 26-episode series is produced by Nelvana.
In "Back To the Pack Part 1", when Ollie tries to find out something about his father, he accidentally breaks his backpack, which opens a portal. Then, in "Back To the Pack Part 2", Ollie and his friends must travel to the monster world to save the multiverse! (#126)
"Back To the Pack" is set to premiere on Nicktoons Global, Nickelodeon's pan-regional Nicktoons channel available in Central Eastern Europe, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia and more, on Friday 22nd January 2021. The episode synopsis above comes from Nicktoons Germany. A U.S. airdate has yet to be announced, but it shouldn't be too long!
Ollie’s Pack stars the voices of James Hartnett (Cupcake & Dino) as Ollie, an ordinary, impulsive, and creative kid who has been given the status of Chosen One and Keeper of the Pack; Ana Sani (Mysticons) as Cleo, the brave and adventurous comic relief; and David Berni (Rocket Monkeys) as Bernie, the nervy and logical voice of reason.
It's currently unknown whether Ollie’s Pack will receive a season two.

While news on Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action adaptation has been slow, fans were reenergized with the announcement of a cast reunion on Jan. 9. Dante Basco (Hook), who voiced Zuko in the beloved animated series, has rounded up Jack de Sena (Sokka), Grey Griffin (Azula), Michaela Murphy (Toph), and more to join him for the virtual event.
Basco told EW the reunion came out of a desire to alleviate his feelings of boredom and helplessness during the pandemic. He started with Twitch streams to rewatch Avatar and brought on former costars. Their efforts have raised over $30,000 for COVID relief and the Trevor Project. It was the perfect opportunity, as Basco says he's "never watched the whole thing from the beginning to the end."
Capturing the Avatar (in real life)
Since the streams were basically mini-Avatar reunions anyways, Basco thought a formal gathering was a natural transition. The final piece of the puzzle was enlisting Aang's voice actor, Zach Tyler Eisen, who left acting after the series. The familiar parallel of tracking down Eisen in real life was not lost on Basco, who jokes that his journey mirrored the Fire Nation prince's own goal to capture the Avatar in the series.
"Once we got Zach, then let's just do the reunion because everyone else we're connected to one way or the other in L.A.," Basco says. "And it's funny because I mean, Zuko is looking for the Avatar. The little inside pun is 'I found him!'"
After a photographer friend of Basco's found an email connected to Eisen, the former costars got on the phone. Basco says he hopes the reunion will only be the start of Eisen rejoining the Avatar world.
"When we did the finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender on my Twitch, he just popped in for a second. And so I was like, 'I really want you to reunite with the whole Gaang,'" he adds. "A lot of us, we do cons together around the world and we're all still in industry working… and so I was like 'You gotta join the world. It's really fun.' He's like 'I'd love to." I was like 'Cool, let's do a reunion. And then once you do the reunion, just run with it. Welcome back. We're back, the Gaang's back together.'"
Basco says he's also reached out to Mae Whitman, who voiced Katara, and hopes she can "pop up and say hello" during the reunion. Overall, he says fans should expect "somewhat of a con experience."
"We haven't seen each other for months and years now," he says. "And to really be on the same panel together to talk about the show, to answer questions, to talk about our experiences, to talk about the resurgence of the show, what it means 15 years later, and what it means in this time of pandemic and this time of unrest."
Thanks to streaming on CBS All Access and Netflix, fans have recently flocked to the show, which originally ran from 2005 to 2008. But according to Basco, the show's resurgence is also due to its themes, which he says are more pertinent than ever.
"If you look in the show, it's a time of unrest and imbalance in the world of Avatar," he explains. "It's this group of kids trying to find the balance in the world. And I think collectively, the world, we're all in the Gaang, we're in this group of kids going, 'How can we find balance in the world right now?' And that's part of the charm. There are so many lessons that still are relevant today."
As for how his character would fare in a pandemic, Basco says with a smile that Zuko would thrive "for sure."
"He'd wear a mask, a COVID-approved Blue Spirit mask but he'd be out there with some mischief and some adventure and save some lives," he says, referencing the classic Book 1 episode.
Netflix live-action
In the early stages of the live-action series' development, ATLA creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko stoked hopes by announcing they wanted to involve Basco, one of the most vocal champions of the show. But when the two revealed in August they were stepping away due to creative differences, it left a lot of questions up in the air.
Basco clarified to EW that he "was never fully involved," but was in talks with the creators (affectionately dubbed "Bryke" by fans) about consulting in the live-action adaptation.
"Who knows, down the line I may be involved if it makes sense. So we'll see what happens. I think like the rest of the fanbase, my fingers are crossed for the best stuff to happen with the project," he says.
On the bright side, Basco has talked about future collaborations with Bryke, whom he calls "brilliant filmmakers, brilliant animators, brilliant storytellers." They've kept in touch and are set to catch up via Zoom soon. But no matter what happens, Basco says he will always be part of the Avatar history and family.
"As actors and as filmmakers, you always want to do something that hopefully people remember," Basco says. "To be a part of a project like Avatar that, in its own way, is like its own Star Wars universe, that's very cool. It's something that I never expected coming out of doing an animation from Nickelodeon."
The Avatar: The Last Airbender cast reunion will take place Saturday at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. Tickets cost $10. For more information, visit https://www.noveriamanagement.com/atla-reunion.

The NFL playoffs start this weekend, and Nickelodeon will air the Chicago Bears vs. New Orleans Saints Wild Card game on Sunday at 4:40 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT. Nickelodeon superstar SpongeBob SquarePants will take over the Nickelodeon broadcast — and recently made an appearance on ESPN 1000 in Chicago (albeit, as a series of audio clips mashed together to make it seem like he's talking in an interview) to get fans ready for the game. The radio host asked him if Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano will be fired once the season is over.
"I don't know," SpongeBob said. "Do you think that's too much to expect?" The host went on to ask the beloved Nickelodeon character - voiced by Tom Kenny - if he's predicting a Bears' win over the Saints on Sunday. "Never, ever, never, never, ever, never, never!" SpongeBob replied. He then ended the interview by saying "This is the happiest day of my life!"
On Sunday, SpongeBob will be joined by play-by-play announcer Noah Eagle and analyst Nate Burleson. Nickelodeon star Nevaeh Green (All That, Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered) will join Eagle and Burleson in the booth, and Green's Nick co-star Lex Lumpkin (All That, Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered) will serve as a reporter during the game.
"This is a first of its kind presentation for the NFL together with Nickelodeon, and we are very excited to create a unique telecast that will maximize the co-viewing appeal for kids and families, while maintaining the integrity of the game and its traditions," Sean McManus, Chairman, CBS Sports, said in a press release from ViacomCBS. "Partnering with Nickelodeon to showcase the NFL Playoffs is a great opportunity to highlight the power, depth and reach of ViacomCBS, as we continue to unlock the true potential of our merged company with the first of many opportunities between CBS Sports and our ViacomCBS family."
In March of last year, the NFL announced it has added Nickelodeon to broadcast playoff games to target the "younger audience." This was made possible due to the playoffs being expanded from 12 to 14 teams this year, meaning there will be six wild card games played this weekend instead of four. Along with the game airing on Nickelodeon, Bears vs. Saints can be seen on CBS and Amazon Prime Video. As for the game itself, this will be the third time the Bears and Saints have faced each other in the playoffs. The last meeting came in 2007 when the Bears beat the Saints 39-14 in the NFC Championship.
The NFL Wild Card Game on Nickelodeon kicks off on Saturday, January 10 with “The SpongeBob SportsPants Countdown Special” at 4:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT, followed by the NFL Wild Card Game LIVE at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT! Look out for a very special half-time sneak peek at Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years!

Original post:
EA Sports is teasing an upcoming crossover between its hit Madden video game franchise and Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants!
A teaser from the Madden NFL Twitter account today asks fans, "Are you ready?" Attached to the tweet is an image of SpongeBob's face and the reveal date: January 7. This is presumably when all will be revealed about Madden 21's campaign.
Update (1/7) - EA Sports has announced that, included in today's update of Madden NFL 21 is a "New SpongeBob Yard Location"! The update is available for Xbox Series X|S & PS5 and Xbox One, PS4, PC versions of the game!
The news follows CBS Sports and Nickelodeon announcing that they are teaming up for a special NFL Playoff broadcast. This Sunday's (Jan. 10) Wild Card game between the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints will be broadcast on Nickelodeon, and the televised event will include a variety of Nickelodeon-themed elements - including slime.
Play-by-play announcer Noah Eagle will be joined by CBS Sports’ analyst Nate Burleson and Nick star Gabrielle Nevaeh Green (All That, Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered) in the booth to call the NFL Wild Card Game on Nickelodeon. Additionally, Nick star Lex Lumpkin (All That, Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered) will serve as a reporter during the game. Nickelodeon’s coverage begins with “The SpongeBob SportsPants Countdown Special,” a sports-themed compilation special at 4 p.m. (ET) hosted by the Denver Broncos’ Von Miller, highlighting SpongeBob’s best sports moments and featuring pre-kickoff appearances by CBS Sports’ Jim Nantz and Tony Romo, as well as Eagle, Burleson and Green.
Here is a glimpse at what the broadcast this weekend may look like on TV--it's pretty wild stuff. A more "traditional" broadcast will also be available on CBS.
SpongeBob, Slime, and Googly Eyes, @NFLonCBS and @Nickelodeon will present the NFL like you’ve NEVER seen it before on Wild Card Weekend.
During halftime, Nickelodeon will air a special teaser for the new SpongeBob spin-off Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, which follows, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward's adventures when they were children. The prequel series premieres in 2021 on the streaming platform Paramount+ and later on Nickelodeon.
SpongeBob Madden 21 Map Teaser
It's not exactly clear, however, what role EA Sports and the Madden series may play in all of this, but it seems something is in the works and will be revealed very soon. Keep checking back for more!
Of course, the best collaboration would be Squidward's Sweet Victory performance made available in Madden 21, something that would make up for the bungled halftime performance at last year's Super Bowl. Others want SpongeBob and Patrick to be added as commentators to the game, although the chances of that happening are probably slim to none. Is mayonnaise a football?
This isn't the first time EA Sports and Madden have teamed up with Nickelodeon and SpongeBob SquarePants. In 2018, SpongeBob and his BFF Patrick guest starred in a trailer for NFL 19.
As for SpongeBob, the iconic character's most recent video game adaptation, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, is also slated to get a mobile release, which will drop on January 21.
Madden 21 Adds SpongeBob-Inspired Game Modes And Gear To Celebrate NFL Playoffs
SpongeBob and company have invaded The Yard in Madden 21.
EA and Nickelodeon have officially pulled back the curtain on their Madden-SpongeBob collaboration, revealing several new game modes for The Yard, along with exclusive gear and a new Reef-Top location.
At first blush, the collaboration between Madden 21 and SpongeBob doesn't make much sense – Mr. SquarePants might be a professional bubble-blower, but his football skills leave a bit to be desired. However, there's actually a good reason for the awkward partnership. This weekend marks the start of the NFL Playoffs, and one of the games will be broadcast on Nickelodeon, complete with kid-friendly content and halftime show.
The Nick-NFL mashup has spilled over into Madden 21, giving us a bunch of new content in The Yard. Here are some of the most interesting additions:
- The Flying Dutchman's Ghostly Grab: A game mode in which you'll "fly high with the Dutchman and make incredible catches." Snagging deep touchdowns and completions will earn you bonus points.
- Sandy's Rocket Arm Rally: Players can throw the ball more than 80 yards – turning every QB into a superpowered Patrick Mahomes.
- The Goo Lagoon Bowl: "Navigate the goo in sloooow motion!"
- SpongeBob Reef-Top: A new location in The Yard, complete with massive SpongeBob blimps and the Krusty Krab.
- SpongeBob Gear: Compression sleeves, back protectors, and bikini bottom shorts are just some of the new equipment you'll be able to unlock.
Patrick Mahomes with a Patrick Star-themed back protector is something I never expected to need in my life – but here we are anyway. Some fans on Twitter are disappointed with the update – claiming EA should instead fix its servers and franchise mode – but the SpongeBob content is bound to appeal to a large portion of its audience. After all, it's SpongeBob. Who doesn’t like the guy?
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS Content Makes Its Way Into MADDEN NFL 21's The Yard
If nautical nonsense be something you wish then drop on in to Madden NFL 21's The Yard and experience the all-new SpongeBob SquarePants collaboration. The special event features new modes, challenges, and gear.
Earlier this week, Electronic Arts teased some sort of collaboration with Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants in Madden NFL 21. As expected, that collaboration is taking place within The Yard, the game's backyard-inspired 6v6 game mode. Heading into The Yard, players will discover all-new SpongeBob SquarePants-inspired content, including new game modes, a new location, and special cosmetic gear.
There are three new playable game modes that are cleverly inspired by SpongeBob. The Flying Dutchman's Ghostly Grab challenges players to make incredible catches and score long touchdowns to earn bonus points. Inspired by Sandy's crazy invention, Sandy's Rocket Arm allows players to launch passes that can travel 80 yards or further. Lastly, the Goo Lagoon Bowl puts goo all over the field causes players to move in slow motion.
In addition to these new modes, there is also a new playable location: SpongeBob Reef-Top. This doesn't actually take you under the sea, but it does feature a giant inflatable SpongeBob balloon flying above the field. Surrounding the field is SpongeBob's pineapple home and The Krusty Krab. The field is also appropriately themed. Completing challenges at SpongeBob Reef-Top will unlock exclusive SpongeBob-inspired gear themed after SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, Plankton, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs.
While Madden is primarily known as a simulation of the NFL, The Yard offers players more of an arcade-like experience. It also allows EA the opportunity to host these sorts of special events and sponsorships without ruining the traditional football gameplay experience. The Yard existing as a separate mode allows for this kind of silly collaboration.
How to unlock Spongebob-themed gear and clothes in Madden 21
Who wants all the gear under the sea?
As previously predicted, Nickelodeon’s ultra-popular cartoon, Spongebob Squarepants, has crossed over into Madden 21’s The Yard. Along with its Bikini Bottom-inspired location, all players have the chance to scoop up gear based on all the beloved characters in the show. Here’s how to get each piece available.
Where to find all of Spongebob’s gear
Surprisingly, unlike most cosmetics, the event’s gear is not available for purchase in The Yard’s store – so you won’t have to spend any in or out-of-game currency whatsoever. Instead, you can discover each piece of clothing by first going to the “Spongebob Frenzy!” field via The Yard’s location menu.
From there, press triangle (on PlayStation) or Y (on Xbox) to view all unlockable rewards during the event. You can make progress and level up this “city pass” by earning specific high scores in any of the three challenges. The score needed for a particular item will be found underneath its image in this rewards menu.
There are 13 Spongebob-related items to collect – or one of each kind of clothing (including a pair of socks, a sleeve, and a visor). Also, every one of these is listed as Legendary, with the rarest item, the Nickelodeon Spongebob Jersey, only requiring you to get a high score of 20,000.
The challenges are relatively challenging, as each lends super strength, or increased speed, to a particular positional player on the enemy’s team. No matter, the event does allow you to use only the best superstars, in the likes of Patrick Mahomes, J.J. Watt, Deandre Hopkins, and Stefan Diggs.

PREMIERING MONDAY 11TH JANUARY ON NICKTOONS AFRICA
Share it: @NickAfrica #NickUnfiltered
Comedian and actor Jay Pharoah (Saturday Night Live, 2 Minutes of Fame), will host Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered (previously Game Face), premiering Monday 11th January 2021 at 16:55 CAT on NickToons Africa! The remotely produced game show features panelists Darci Lynne and All That’s Lex Lumpkin and Gabrielle Nevaeh Green, who must guess the identities of virtually disguised celebrity guests.
Following launch, new episodes will continue to air regularly on the Nicktoons channel in Africa.
Said Pharoah, “As a person who likes to transform and play multiple characters, I always love a good disguise and I can’t wait to see which panelist will be able to figure out our guests’ identities. Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered is going to be an outrageously good time, and we have some big names and surprises that you really won’t want to miss!”
Each episode of Nickelodeon’s Unfiltered will feature celebrity guests whose true identities are hidden behind an animated 3D filter and voice changer, while the panel deciphers the mystery through rounds of Q&A, wacky trivia and hilarious game competitions. The first panelist to guess the star hiding behind the filter wins the round. Viewers can get in on the fun by downloading the show’s filters to transform into the same digital characters as their favorite celebrities.
