Nickelodeon’s Side Hustle: The Fashion Faux Pas We Didn’t Know We Needed
Brace yourselves, folks! Nickelodeon has generously decided to bless us with a 20-episode second season of its buddy comedy, Side Hustle. Because who doesn’t love kids wrecking boats and paying back their friends’ dads through a series of absolutely ridiculous jobs? Mark your calendars: new episodes from Season 1 kick off on Saturday, September 11, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The grand unveiling of Season 2? That joyous occasion falls on Saturday, October 2. So set those reminders or risk missing out on what’s sure to be a dramatic rollercoaster of poorly thought-out career choices.
Catwalk or Craft Table? The Great Misunderstanding
In a recently unearthed teaser from the Season 2 premiere episode dubbed “Model Employees,” we find our intrepid trio: Lex (Jules LeBlanc), Presley (Jayden Bartels), and Munchy (Isaiah Crews), teetering on the brink of excitement. Their dreams of strutting down a catwalk during the town’s fashion week are soon thwarted by the cruel reality of life. Turns out, they’re not high-fashion models but rather glorified toy model builders. Talk about a career pivot!
Now, instead of draping couture, they’re knee-deep in plastic and glue. Disappointment looms like an uninvited guest at a birthday party. But don’t worry; these pint-sized entrepreneurs will try to scam their way into the real fashion show before the credits roll. Because that’s exactly how the fashion industry works—finesse and sheer audacity.
Returning Cast or a Revival of Regrets?
The drama continues with the return of Mitchell Berg and Jacques Chevelle, presumably practicing their best shocked expressions as they watch the chaos unfold. And if you thought the fun ended there, think again! Noah Beck from Noah Beck Tries Things will also grace us with his presence in his acting debut, which is sure to be a life-changing experience—if by “life-changing” we mean “incredibly awkward.”
Accidental Boating Mishaps and Money-Making Mishaps
If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “What kind of comic gold comes from destroying a boat?”, then look no further than Side Hustle. Lex and Presley are on a mission to repay Munchy’s dad after their classic instance of teenage vandalism, which is always a fantastic life lesson. Why not make some cash while navigating the choppy waters of responsibility, one ill-fated gig at a time?
The Minds Behind the Madness
Created by the brilliant minds of Dave Malkoff, who also moonlights as an executive producer and showrunner (because why not wear multiple hats?), the series is overseen by Nickelodeon’s own Zack Olin and Shauna Phelan. They’re like the fairy godparents of live-action chaos, complete with a wand that appears to grant wishes for hilariously bad job prospects.
Your New Favorite Train Wreck
As Season 2 rolls in, prepare yourself for the absurdity that is Side Hustle. With a premise that’s held together by unfulfilled dreams and misguided enthusiasm, it’s the kind of comedy that will have you questioning your own life choices. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and watch as these kids navigate through toy model auditions with the grace of a giraffe on roller skates. Ah, childhood—savor it; it’s fleeting.
