A major quest is coming for Brendar and Evan as they are going on the biggest adventure of their lives in Nickelodeon‘s new live-action puppet series The Barbarian and the Troll!
The series, which airs new episodes every Friday night, follows Evan, a bridge troll in search of adventure, and Brendar, a fierce female warrior on a quest to defeat the evil demon who has imprisoned her brother.
To give you a rundown on what you can expect, Evan the troll decides to burn his bridge and venture out into the world of Gothmoria for the first time to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a singer. He soon meets Brendar, who had been expelled from the Royal Order of Warrior Princesses and is now known as a “feared and revered” barbarian. After Evan convinces Brendar to bring him on her quest to vanquish the evil demon, they cross treacherous terrain to confront bizarre and magical creatures and encounter an eclectic puppet cast of wacky characters.
Without spoiling too much, we can tell you that between its witty humor, fun sing-along songs and valuable life lessons, The Barbarian and the Troll has something for everyone and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for Brendar and Evan in upcoming episodes.
Watch the trailer below:
To celebrate the premiere, cast members Brendar and Evan, along with creator, writer, and executive producer Daniel Knauf (Carnivàle, The Blacklist) gathered to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California for a special drive-in screening where the cast, crew, and special guests watched a few episodes safely from their own cars.
The Celeb Secrets team was included on the guest list of lucky VIPs and it was the best way to start the week, giving us the fix of in-person events that we’ve been patiently waiting for since the Coronavirus lockdown in March 2020. As soon as we drove into the event, we were greeted with a photo-op with Brendar and Evan, and it brings back the similar feeling of attending live events once again! We parked in our designated spot (which was a perfect view) and waited as we highly-anticipated the premiere of the show!
We took a peek at our goodie boxes which included classic movie snacks like candy and popcorn, but we also got our very own DIY puppet set. We watched the episode and laughed at the perfectly placed puns. It was so fun.
