20-Episode Pick-Up for the Booty Shakin' Duck Tales
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A second season is in the oven for Nickelodeon's Breadwinners, a
popular animated series that ranks #1 in its Saturday 11:00 a.m. time
slot with Kids 2-11/6-11 and Boys 2-11/6-11. The announcement was made
today by Russell Hicks, President, Content Development and Production.
The outrageous comedy series, filled with infectious music and boundless
energy, follows two quazy ducks who never give up on delivering bread to
hungry beaks everywhere in their jet-fueled rocket van. The series will
make its season one debut on the network's international channels this
fall.

"The popularity and success of Breadwinners is a testament to our
commitment to creator-driven animation," Hicks said. "We're thrilled to
bring our audience another season of this great show as part of our
continued pledge to building our pipeline of original animation."
The 20-episode order continues with more of SwaySway and Buhdeuce's wild
and quazy adventures aided by their trusted allies: the Bread Maker,
Ketta, T-Midi and Jelly. As SwaySway and Buhdeuce delve deeper into the
expansive world of Pondgea, they dodge more menacing monsters, discover
new magical breads, and meet more riduckulous customers along the
way. No matter what, this duck duo will keep moving to the beat and
getting bread up in yo beak!
Nickelodeon closed April as the top basic cable net in total day with
Kids 2-11 (2.7/872K, up +4% versus a year ago) and total viewers (1.6M),
securing its fourth straight monthly win driven by its hit animation and
preschool roster.
Breadwinners is created by Steve Borst (Teen Titans Go!, MAD)
and Gary "Doodles" Di Raffaele (MAD, Metalocalypse), who was
discovered from Nick's 2012 Animated Shorts Program. This team of
emerging and innovative artists delivers a funny and original series for
this new generation of kids. With vast inspirations from classic
buddy-comedy animation, and various current gaming, internet and music
cultures, this innovative show introduces the next duck duo who always
keep their beaks up and their heads boppin'.
