Nickelodeon is kicking off 2024 with an all-new animated series, Rock Paper Scissors, starring Ron Funches (Trolls,Trolls Band Together), Thomas Lennon (Zoey 102, 17 Again, Reno 911!), and two Latino comics Carlos Alazraqui (Rocko’s Modern Life, Reno 911!) and Melissa Villaseñor (Saturday Night Live). The animated series will premiere on February 12th at 5:30 pm on Nickelodeon.
In Rock Paper Scissors, titular characters, Rock, Paper and Scissors, are a trio of best friends and roommates who lovingly compete over everything in hilarious but mostly wildly absurd ways. Throughout season one, the trio will go to extremes playing hide-and-seek around the world, running from the birthday police, defending the world from an alien invasion, going head-to-head with the Rat Bros and more.
Originally launched in 2019 as a short, Rock Paper Scissors was greenlit for series from Nickelodeon’s Intergalactic Shorts Program. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, the original Rock Paper Scissors short and series are created, written, and executive produced by Kyle Stegina (Robot Chicken) and Josh Lehrman (Robot Chicken), with Conrad Vernon (Sausage Party) and Bob Boyle (The Fairly OddParents) serving as executive producers on the series. Development is overseen by Nickelodeon Animation’s Kari Kim, Vice President of Animation Development, and Daniel Wineman, Vice President of Original Animation Development. The series is overseen by Executive in Charge, Jason Oliveri.
