Nickelodeon greenlights a third season of its animated series Sanjay and Craig with a 20-episode order. It was announced by Russell Hicks, president, Content Development and Production, Nickelodeon.

The original series follows the misadventures of Sanjay, an excitable and irreverent 12-year-old boy and his best friend Craig, a smooth-talking snake and master of disguise.

New episodes from season two will debut this summer on Nickelodeon, with season two set to roll out internationally this fall.

“When Sanjay and Craig was first brought to us and was described as being about two best friends, with one that just happens to be a snake, we knew that it had the makings of a great Nickelodeon cartoon,” said Hicks.

The third season will continue to draw from real kid experiences as inspiration for Sanjay and Craig’s many crazy adventures.

The series will build upon the growing collection of cool and eclectic music, while featuring more half-hour specials, including a holiday episode, filled with weird and funny epic journeys that Sanjay, Craig, and best friends Hector and Megan pursue.

Sanjay and Craig was created by Jim Dirschberger, Jay Howell and Andreas Trolf.

Nickelodeon, now in its 35th year, is an entertainment brand for kids.
