Nickelodeon’s Nicktoons Network will prmiere the new animated series The Secret Show on Saturday, Jan. 20 at 8:30 p.m. (ET). The cable outlet has ordered 13 half-hour episodes of the spy comedy, which is commissioned by the BBC and produced by Collingwood O’Hare Ent. The show will air regularly on Saturdays at 8:30 p.m.
The Secret Show is described as a fast-paced mix of Get Smart and Monty Python that features retro-styled animation. Special agents Victor Volt and Anita Knight work for U.Z.Z. protecting the world against the evil forces of T.H.E.M. in this show within a show, masked behind a fictional on-screen series titled The Fluffy Bunny Show.
In the first part of the premiere episode, “The Secret Thing,” the Impostors, creatures capable of replicating humans as “hard copy holograms,” try to steal The Secret Thing and Victor and Anita must protect it at all costs. The second part, “Who Stole Switzerland,” involves Martian gravity thieves who are sucking up the Earth’s gravity into trucks and flying it off to planet Mars so they can have ‘falling down parties.’
Collingwood O’Hare has won BAFTA Awards for Best Pre-School Animation for Animal Stories, Eddy & The Bear and Yoko! Jakamoko! Toto! The studio’s other award-winning productions include Dr. Seuss’s Daisy- Head Mayzie, Dennis & Gnasher from The Beano, The Magic Key, Oscar’s Orchestra, Pond Life and The King’s Beard. BBC Worldwide owns the global cross-media rights for The Secret Show, including program distribution, merchandising and DVD rights.
