Ricky Sprocket – Showbiz Boy is a 26 x 22 (52 x 11) minute animated comedy series aimed at six to 12-year olds. The series follows mega superstar child actor Ricky Sprocket, a regular kid with an annoying sister, too much homework, childhood issues and a crazy showbiz life. Ricky is not only funny and quirky, but a real character with his own emotions and life concerns. Ricky’s fans adore him - but even though he’s the world’s biggest star, he still has to take out the garbage!

“Nickelodeon channels around the world and Nicktoons Network in the US have embraced Ricky Sprocket from the moment they saw it,” said Tatiana Kober of Bejuba! Entertainment. “The series will strike a chord in children around the world as Ricky is a real kid living every child’s dream.”

“We are delighted to be working with Nickelodeon on this exciting new comedy. I think kids will really relate to the humour and pace of this cartoon,” said Studio B Productions Partner, Blair Peters.

“We feel Ricky Sprocket’s humour and strong character is a perfect fit with Nickelodeon and Nicktoons Networks. We are thrilled that they feel the same way,” said David Fine of Snowden Fine. “It’s great that the show has found a home with such prestigious broadcasters.”

Debbie Macdonald, Vice President, Programming Director, Nickelodeon UK said: “Ricky Sprocket is a real gem of a series. The high standards of animation, brilliant humour and quirky characters will resonate with Nick audiences all over the world.”
