Nickelodeon has picked up new comedy series Supah Ninjas to join its hit live-action programming line up, it was announced today by Marjorie Cohn, President, Original Programming and Development, Nickelodeon. Comic book in tone and cinematic in style, Supah Ninjas follows three unsuspecting kids who are drafted into the secret world of ninjas. Created by Eric Garcia and Leo Chu (Afro Samurai) the series will be helmed by executive producers Garcia, Chu and Brian Robbins and Sharla Sumpter Bridgett (Fred: The Movie) under the Varsity Pictures production banner. The series is slated to begin production this year in Los Angeles for premiere in 2011.
“Supah Ninjas’ cinematic style and fantasy-fulfilling super hero adventures offer up a unique twist on the everyday trials of adolescence,” said Cohn. “This series adds another flavor to our hit live-action line up and gives our audience a broader assortment of comedy choices.”
Mike Fukanaga (Ryan Potter) was an average high school student – a little shy, a bit awkward, and hopelessly incapable of talking to girls. But when he discovers he descends from a long line of ninjas, that all begins to change. With the guidance of his holographic grandfather, Mike teams up with his best friend Owen (Carlos Knight) and his crush Amanda (Gracie Dzienny) to form the “Supah Ninjas”, a secret team of ninja crime fighters protecting the city from criminals. As if fighting crime and surviving high school weren’t hard enough, they are also sworn to conceal their identities, vowing to “stay in the shadows” and never to reveal their “supah” cool alter-egos.
