Nickelodeon UK & Ireland will premiere Planet Lulin, a brand new Australian coming-of-age comedy drama series about a sparky pre-teen girl whose alien powers suddenly kick in, making her the target of hostile intergalactic invaders, on Saturday 11th January 2025 at 10:30am! Following launch, fans can catch new episodes weekends at 10:30am on Nick UK & Eire, with each episode replaying the same day at 6:00pm.
Twelve-year-old Lulin is living her best undercover alien life in the small Aussie 'burb of Bogger's Marsh. That is, until her Astoradian powers kick in and start creating chaos.
In Planet Lulin, twelve-year-old Lulin’s going through some little green changes – that’s what happens when you have a human dad and an extra-terrestrial mum. But those little green changes are getting in the way of her success in SCI-BOG, the school science competition.
Lulin’s dad, Ken, and her extra-terrestrial grandma, Ezme, try to help, but Lulin’s the first ever human-Astoradian. No one knows what’s going to happen next; especially not with her powers!
With her pals Henri and Spider by her side, Lulin’s doing her best to rise to the challenge of SCI-BOG, but it’s not that easy when she’s blasting energy waves from her fingers, oozing green slime and getting scorch marks instead of pimples. On top of all that, intergalactic invaders are trying to track her down and send her to a void outside of the universe!
A vibrant, funny, live-action series for school-aged kids, Planet Lulin explores universal themes of self-discovery and belonging while navigating the cosmic shifts of adolescence and growing up.
