Today, Nickelodeon announced a new Nicktoon, Wylde Pak, which follows the daily life of a blended multigenerational Korean American family. Inspired by the lives of co-creators and executive producers Paul Watling (The Tiger’s Apprentice) and Kyle Marshall (The Loud House), the 26 episode series follows half siblings Lily and Jack as they learn to navigate new family dynamics under one roof for the first time. The series is slated to debut this summer. A clip was released.
“Nickelodeon’s commitment to showcasing stories about the human experience, filled with humor and adventure, holds true with the debut of the original series Wylde Pak,” said Ramsey Naito, President of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation. “We can’t wait for our audience to meet this wonderfully blended family, which encapsulates what it means to be a modern family navigating the world around them while learning more about each other along the way.”
In Wylde Pak, living together for the first time, half-siblings Jack and Lily are pushed outside their comfort zones as they learn to coexist while navigating new family dynamics, friends, and endless hijinks all while helping run the family’s pet grooming and boarding business. With guidance from their parents and grandmother, the two will learn about each other’s previously separate lives, blended identity, vibrant culture, and the importance of family.
The series stars Nikki Castillo (K.C. Undercover) as the voice of Lily Pak, a competitive and fun loving 11 year old; and Benjamin Plessala (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run) as Jack Wylde, Lily’s 13 year-old adventurous half brother who has just come into town for the summer. Additional voices include Ben Pronsky (The Loud House) as William Wylde, Jack and Lily’s dad; Jee Young Han (Unprisoned) as Min-Ju Pak, Lily’s energetic mom and Jack’s stepmom; and Jean Yoon (Kim’s Convenience) as the voice of Halmoni, Min’s unpredictable mom and Lily and Jack’s caring yet stubborn grandma.
Wylde Pak is the second short from Nickelodeon’s Intergalactic Shorts Program to be greenlit into a series following Rock Paper Scissors. Watling and Marshall serve as executive producers alongside Seonna Hong (My Life as a Teenage Robot) and Conrad Vernon (Shrek). Development and production are overseen by Claudia Spinelli, Senior Vice President, TV Series Animation, Nickelodeon and Daniel Wineman, Vice President of Original Animation Development. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
