Production
Announcement In March 2025, Nickelodeon announced that a new animated comedy television series, Wylde Pak, had been picked up for a season of 26 episodes. It is the second original television series following Rock Paper Scissors (2023–present) to originate from their initial Nickelodeon Intergalactic Shorts Program that was launched in 2019. Nikki Castillo, Benjamin Plessala, Ben Pronsky, Jee Young Han, Jean Yoon were announced to lead the voice cast. The series, created by Paul Watling and Kyle Marshall and inspired by their family lives, follows the everyday life of a newly formed multi-generational Korean American family. The science fiction element was eventually dropped, and the two looked to their family lives as inspirations for what the show could be. A seven-minute pilot was produced as part of the Nickelodeon Intergalactic Shorts Program that was launched in 2019. According to Marshall, development was intense and the short looked and felt different from the final series, but the characters and family dynamics were identical. Watling, Marshall, and Hong's mission was the create a show that depicts a relatable and unsanitized picture of familial relationship. Hong noted that diversity and representation were an important part of the show. As the central family is multi-generational and culturally blended, several less common family dynamics tackled in animation had to be nailed down. Other influences on the show include The Amazing World of Gumball (2011–2019), Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000), and My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999). == Release ==
