They stole the show in the big-screen feature Madagascar and its sequel, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and now they’ve scored their own TV series, debuting this weekend on Nickelodeon.
Titled Penguins of Madagascar, the half-hour series is executive produced by Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley and produced by DreamWorks Animation. It features the voice talents of Tom McGrath, Jeff Bennett, John DiMaggio, James Patrick Stuart, Danny Jacobs, Andy Richter, Kevin Michael Richardson and Nicole Sullivan.
The series premieres with the episode ‘Launchtime,’ airing Saturday, March 28, at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT, immediately following Nick’s 22nd Annual Kids Choice Awards. The series will then air a new episode each weeknight at 8 p.m. from two weeks before moving into a permanent time slot Saturdays at 10 a.m. starting April 18.
Here’s an advance look at a clip from the show.
