Big Nate

Paramount+ released the official trailer and key art for season two of the original animated comedy series Big Nate, based on the best-selling children's books and comic strip written and drawn by acclaimed author and cartoonist Lincoln Peirce. The first 10 episodes of the second season will premiere on Friday, July 7 streaming exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada, and the following day in the UK. Additional international markets will premiere later this year.

In new episodes of the Emmy nominated series, Nate Wright and his misfit group of friends tackle new adventures, face epic challenges and unleash their boundless imaginations at P.S. 38. This new season pushes the boundaries of visual creativity, featuring episodes with animation styles including stop-motion, shadow box theater, photogrammetry and claymation. With laughter, friendship and heaps of Nate's signature mischief, season two promises to be bigger, bolder, and funnier than ever. Joining Big Nate this season are guest stars Laraine Newman (Ridley Jones) as Marge, Nate's grandma whose misguided optimism has clearly been inherited by her grandson; Matthew Lillard (Scooby-Doo) as Agent Fish, one of Nate's comic character creations - an anxious FBI agent with a literal fish head; JB Blanc (Barry) as Agent Moose, one of Nate's comic character creations - a confident FBI agent with a literal moose head; Maya Aoki Tuttle (Spidey and His Amazing Friends) as Cammie, the kind of popular kid who actually has confidence; and Stephanie Sheh (Royal Crackers) as Ruby, the new kid at P.S. 38 and Nate's dream girl, but he doesn't know that yet.

The series stars Ben Giroux (Nate Wright), Dove Cameron (Ellen Wright), Rob Delaney (Martin Wright), Bryce Charles (Dee Dee Holloway), Daniel MK Cohen (Francis Pope), Arnie Pantoja (Teddy Ortiz), Charlie Schlatter (Chad Applewhite), Ali Stroker (Amy), Kevin Michael Richardson (Principal Nichols), Carolyn Hennesy (Mrs. Godfrey), Nik Dodani (Randy), Betsy Sodaro (Kim), Lisa Kay Jennings (Gina), Chandni Parekh (Jenny), Todd Haberkorn (Artur), Ryan Garcia (Mr. Rosa), Mike Rivkin (Mr. Galvin), and Chester Rushing (Zeff).
