‘Rock Paper Scissors’ Gets 2-Season Renewal At Nickelodeon

Proud to be Directing the seconds season of such a wonderful series with so many talented artists and talent.



From Deadline:

EXCLUSIVE: Nickelodeon has handed a two-season renewal to Rock Paper Scissors, its popular original animated series, for a second and third season. Both seasons will each consist of 10 episodes, and continue to follow the wacky shenanigans and nonsensical adventures of the titular characters. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation, season two is slated to debut this fall on Nickelodeon in the U.S. and internationally in 2026.

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 in February 2024 and is an Annie Award, Children’s & Family Emmys and NAMIC Vision Award-nominated series.

Ron Funches stars as Rock, an aspiring model and member of the trio with the biggest heart and moral compass; Thomas Lennon as Paper, the wannabe intellectual who dreams of being a famous inventor; and Carlos Alazraqui as Scissors, who acts overly confident and always wants to be cool. The series also stars Melissa Villaseñor as Pencil, the trio’s incredibly smart neighbor with a silly sense of humor, and Eddie Pepitone 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.

“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.”

The 20-episode first season of Rock Paper Scissor will be available in full on Paramount+ beginning Wednesday, May 28.

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.
