July 10, 2024 - Nickelodeon today announced a new animated series, Tim Rex in Space, the brand’s first global co-production with Channel 5’s Milkshake!, that will premiere in 2025 on Nickelodeon channels in the U.S. and internationally, and on Milkshake! in the U.K.
Tim Rex in Space follows a Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) named Tim, his big brother Tommy, little sister Tia and triceratops bestie Kai as they tackle kid-shaped adventures with dino-sized solutions in space. Tim and his family live in a unique world comprised of a cluster of asteroids that make up the town of Rumbleton. This intergalactic environment is a quintessential 21st century suburban town, with each asteroid hosting family homes, cafés, shops, parks, and even a beach. All asteroids are connected by a network of slides, ziplines and trampolines, but can also easily be reached on a quick rocket ride.
The series features: Cassian Swan-Mckee as Tim; Ace Gil as Tommy; Hope Delaney as Tia; and Jamie Smart as Kai. The voice cast also includes Stephen Alan Yorke, Nim Miller, Sophia Nomvete, Jessica Robinson, Alex Carter and Lorraine Bruce.
