“Wylde Pak,” an animated series following the daily life of a blended multi-generational Korean American family, will debut this summer on Nickelodeon, the network announced Tuesday.
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.
“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.”
“Wylde Pak” stars Nikki Castillo as the voice of Lily Pak, a competitive and fun-loving 11-year-old, and Benjamin Plessala (“SpongeBob: 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 include Ben Pronsky (“The Loud House”) as William Wylde, Jack and Lily’s fun-loving dad, Jee Young Han (“Unprisoned”) as the voice of Min-Ju Pak, Lily’s energetic mom and Jack’s stepmom, and Jean Yoon as the voice of Halmoni, Min’s unpredictable mom, and Lily and Jack’s caring yet stubborn grandma.
The show will be produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank.
