Tim Rex in Space to Launch on Nickelodeon in August 4
Preschoolers will embark on epic intergalactic adventures as Nickelodeon readies brand-new animated preschool series, Tim Rex in Space, for launch on Monday, August 4. The series marks the brand’s first global co-production with Channel 5’s Milkshake!
Tim Rex in Space will premiere for three consecutive weeks, Monday-Thursday, at 9:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon and encore at 6:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on the Nick Jr. channel. The series airs on Nickelodeon channels 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 — a quintessentially 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 voice cast for Tim Rex in Space features Cassian Swan-Mckee as Tim, Ace Gill as Tommy, Hope Delaney as Tia, and Jamie Smart as Kai. The cast also includes Stephen Alan Yorke, Nim Miller, Sophia Nomvete, Jessica Robinson, Alex Carter, and Lorraine Bruce.
Tim Rex in Space is created and produced by Mint Copenhagen for Nickelodeon and Milkshake!, with animation studio, Jam Media. The series is produced by Josephine Jerris Margolis and Louise Barkholt for Mint and directed by Sam Dransfield (Bossy Bear).
The animation director is Jess Patterson (Nova Jones), the series designer/ art director is Joshua Hogan, and the head writer is Andy Potter (Sharkdog, Class Dismissed). Tracy Nampala (Pip and Posy Let’s Learn, Ricky Zoom, Supertato, Brave Bunnies, and Colourblocks) serves as the VR Director.
