Humor and heart await in Nickelodeon’s all-new 2D-animated series Wylde Pak, which follows the daily life of a blended multigenerational Korean-American family. Inspired by co-creators and executive producers Paul Watling and Kyle Marshall’s family life, the 26-episode comedy series follows half siblings Lily and Jack as they learn to navigate new family dynamics under one roof for the first time.
Produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, the series is slated to debut this summer on the network. A first-look clip was revealed with the announcement (watch it below).
“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.”
Synopsis: 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.
In the first look clip shared today, Lily, Jack and their family embark on the epic quest of navigating their local Asian market, Woori World, competing to find a highly coveted box of imported Hallasand cookies. With mind-bending obstacles coming at them from every direction, Jack, Lily and their family must work together to stand a chance against some tough competition.
Wylde Pak 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 just came into town for the summer.
Additional voices are provided by Ben Pronsky (The Loud House) as William Wylde, Jack and Lily’s fun-loving dad; Jee Young Han (Unprisoned) as Min-Ju Pak, Lily’s energetic mom and Jack’s stepmom; and Jean Yoon (Kim’s Convenience) as 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. It is co-created by Paul Watling (The Tiger’s Apprentice) and Kyle Marshall (The Loud House), who both 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.
