Production[]
In 1991, the first year the Big Nate comic was published, Peanuts executive producer Lee Mendelson purchased the option from Lincoln Peirce to make a 2D-animated Big Nate television series for Saturday Morning Cartoons at NBC, who "was paid $5,000 to write a quote-on-quote bible describing the characters and outlining a few story ideas". However, the day after this deal was finalized, NBC canceled all of their Saturday Morning Cartoons, sending the series into development hell.[5]
An animated Big Nate series was ultimately announced by Nickelodeon on February 19, 2020. In a news release, Nickelodeon's executive vice president of animation production and development, Ramsey Naito, stated that she had wanted to adapt the Big Nate book series into an animated series for a long time.[1][3] The series was originally planned to premiere in September 2021.[2] However, in December 2021, with the casting, it was announced that it will premiere on Paramount+ in early 2022.[4]
