BURBANK, Calif.-Nov. 17, 2020-Nickelodeon has set the cast for its highly anticipated new preschool series Baby Shark's Big Show!, which will premiere with an original holiday special on Friday, Dec. 11, at 12:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Co-produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and SmartStudy, the global entertainment company behind the beloved children's brand Pinkfong, Baby Shark's Big Show!

· Mommy (Rothwell) - Fun-loving with a fierce streak, Mommy Shark works for the Mayor of Carnivore Cove.

· Grandma (Wilson) - A new-agey prankster who's all about good vibes and bubbleberry pies.

· Grandpa (Warburton) - A charismatic shark who loves to tell stories about the glory days.

In "Baby Shark's Big Fishmas Special," the season's hottest toy - Burpin' Bubbz - is at the top of Baby and William's Fishmas wish lists, and when Santa Jaws goes missing, it's up to them to save the holiday. Following the premiere, the special will be available on Nick Jr. On Demand and Download-To-Own services, as well as NickJr.com and the Nick Jr. App, which will also feature short-form content.
