NICKELODEON RENEWS ORIGINAL ANIMATED SERIES "ROCK PAPER SCISSORS" FOR A SECOND AND THIRD SEASON

Nick Picks Up 20 All-New Animated Shorts to Debut Across Ecosystem

Season One Coming to Paramount+ Beginning May 28

BURBANK, Calif.-(April 24, 2025)-Nickelodeon today announced the renewal of the original animated series Rock Paper Scissors for a second (10 episodes) and third season (10 episodes), continuing to follow the wacky shenanigans and nonsensical adventures of the titular characters - Rock, Paper and Scissors. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, season two is slated to debut this fall on Nickelodeon in the U.S. and internationally in 2026.

"Rock Paper Scissors embodies the creative and character-driven storytelling we champion at Nickelodeon and the show's humor and heart has struck a chord with our audience," said Ramsey Naito, President, Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation. "With an all-star cast that brings incredible energy, humor and depth to every character, we can't wait to dive even deeper into the hilarious world these three best friends share."

Fans can watch Rock Paper Scissors season one in full (20 episodes) exclusively on Paramount+ beginning Wed., May 28. Inspired by the age-old tradition of settling things with your best friends, the game comes to life through the adventures of pals Rock, Paper and Scissors - a trio of best friends and roommates who lovingly compete over everything in sometimes laughable but mostly wildly absurd ways. Rock Paper Scissors was the number-one new animated series with K2-11 and K6-11 when it launched February 2024 and is an Annie Award, Children's & Family Emmys and NAMIC Vision Award-nominated series.

The animated comedy stars Ron Funches (Trolls, Trolls Band Together) as Rock, an aspiring model and member of the trio with the biggest heart and moral compass; Thomas Lennon (Zoey 102, 17 Again, Reno 911!) as Paper, the wannabe intellectual who dreams of being a famous inventor; and Carlos Alazraqui (Rocko's Modern Life, Reno 911!) as Scissors, who acts overly confident and always wants to be cool. The series also stars Melissa Villaseñor (Saturday Night Live) as Pencil, the trio's incredibly smart neighbor with a silly sense of humor, and Eddie Pepitone (The Muppets, Old School) as Lou, the angry landlord, who is also a garbage can.

In addition to the linear series, Nickelodeon has greenlit 20 one-minute shorts to further dive into the character's lives and adventures. The shorts will debut across Nickelodeon's ecosystem later this year.

For more Rock Paper Scissors, follow the trio on the Nicktoons YouTube channel. In addition to hysterical shorts and clips, full episodes are available to watch now, including "The Birthday Police" and "Paper's Big Lie."

Originally launched in 2019 as a short, Rock Paper Scissors was greenlit for series from Nickelodeon's Intergalactic Shorts Program. Created by Kyle Stegina (Robot Chicken) and Josh Lehrman (Robot Chicken), the series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation. Stegina and Lehrman serve as executive producers along with Conrad Vernon (Shrek 5) and Bob Boyle (The Fairly OddParents). Production is overseen by Daniel Wineman, Vice President of Original Animation Development. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
