SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--An ordinary 13-year-old kid’s life takes a wild turn when he lands the dream job as the sidekick-in-training to a superhero in Nickelodeon’s new live-action comedy Henry Danger, premiering Saturday, Sept. 13, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT). Henry Danger kicks off a night of back-to-back series premieres with Nickelodeon’s other new live-action comedy, Nicky Ricky Dicky & Dawn, premiering at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
Henry Danger, a multi-camera, scripted half-hour series created and executive produced by multi-Emmy nominated hit-maker Dan Schneider (Sam & Cat, Victorious, iCarly, Zoey 101, Drake & Josh) and co-creator and co-executive producer Dana Olsen (George of the Jungle, Inspector Gadget) follows the adventures of Henry Hart (Jace Norman) who gets selected by superhero Captain Man (Cooper Barnes) to be his apprentice. After promising to keep his new identity a secret, Henry must navigate a double life balancing the challenges of eighth grade with the crazy adventures of a crime fighter. Henry Danger will air regularly on Nickelodeon Saturdays at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).
In the series premiere, Henry discovers that being a superhero's sidekick is much harder than he ever thought. Henry desperately struggles to balance the demands of his schoolwork, his family responsibilities, and his new job as Kid Danger — all while keeping his crime fighting alter ego a secret from everyone he knows, including his two best friends Charlotte (Riele Downs) and Jasper (Sean Ryan Fox) and younger sister Piper (Ella Anderson). When Henry's life begins to crumble under the pressure, he turns to Captain Man for help. Captain Man offers Henry the use of an amazing new device that solves Henry's problems...at first. But it comes with a high cost, as Henry discovers at school the next day.
Viewers will get an immersive look at Henry’s whole world online at Nick.com/HenryDanger. Fans of the show will enjoy a personalized, interactive experience with fun games, pictures and a series of motion comics. There will also be an opportunity to interview Captain Man himself for the position of superhero sidekick, take a quiz to find out your own sidekick personality and watch exclusive behind-the-scenes footage with the cast to learn all about the next generation of Nick stars both on and off screen.
