"Nickelodeon's commitment to showcasing stories about the human experience, filled with humor and adventure, holds true with the debut of the original series Wylde Pak," said Ramsey Naito, President of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation. "We can't wait for our audience to meet this wonderfully blended family, which encapsulates what it means to be a modern family navigating the world around them while learning more about each other along the way."
In Wylde Pak, living together for the first time, half-siblings Jack and Lily are pushed outside their comfort zones as they learn to coexist while navigating new family dynamics, friends, and endless hijinks all while helping run the family's pet grooming and boarding business. With guidance from their parents and grandmother, the two will learn about each other's previously separate lives, blended identity, vibrant culture, and the importance of family.
In the first look clip shared today, Lily, Jack, and their family embark on the epic quest of navigating their local Asian market, Woori World, competing to find a highly coveted box of imported Hallasand cookies. With mind-bending obstacles coming at them from every direction, Jack, Lily and their family must work together to stand a chance against some tough competition.
Wylde Pak stars Nikki Castillo (K.C. Undercover) as the voice of Lily Pak, a competitive and fun-loving 11-year-old and Benjamin Plessala (SpongeBob: Sponge on the Run) as Jack Wylde, Lily's 13-year-old adventurous half-brother who just came into town for the summer.
Additional voices include Ben Pronsky (The Loud House) as William Wylde, Jack and Lily's fun-loving dad, Jee Young Han (Unprisoned) as the voice of Min-Ju Pak, Lily's energetic mom and Jack's stepmom, and Jean Yoon (Kim's Convenience) as the voice of Halmoni, Min's unpredictable mom, and Lily and Jack's caring yet stubborn grandma.
