Nickelodeon Suggests That Side Hustle Will Return for a Second Season

In the latest plot twist straight out of a Hollywood script, Nickelodeon has teased fans about the renewal of its hit live-action comedy series “Side Hustle”. Cue the confetti! The first season just wrapped, and apparently, it was such a smash hit they decided why not go for another round, because who doesn’t love a good money-making scheme?

The choreographic genius behind the show, Jason Chong, recently shared a heartfelt memo from Nickelodeon thanking the cast for their tireless (and probably caffeine-fueled) efforts in season one. The note read like the final scene of a rom-com: “Thank you ALL for your Season 1 hustle! Can’t wait to have you hustle back for Season 2. Enjoy your break – from all your friends at Nick”. Ah, nothing says friendship quite like promising more work.

By the way, on a random TikTok video, Nickelodeon decided to drop hints about the upcoming season like it was a hot new fashion line. They tantalizingly replied to a fan’s question, “Are you excited for season 2?” as if they were discussing an exclusive brunch invite. Spoiler alert: Everyone is always excited about more episodes when money, humor, and questionable life decisions are involved.

Fast forward to August 26, and we have even juicier updates—Director Wendy Faraone confirmed that production for season two was kicking off. And guess what? Episode #204 is titled “Al-Dude-Isburg.” Because when life gives you lemons, make sure you name your episodes something utterly baffling. Production is occurring at Paramount Pictures Studios, where presumably, the only stress relief is imagining the paycheck at the end.

“Side Hustle” is that glorious potion of chaos where friends Lex (Jules LeBlanc) and Presley (Jayden Bartels) tackle money-making schemes that often resemble elaborate Rube Goldberg machines—only to realize that they’re the ones ultimately getting crushed. Munchy (Isaiah Crews) is there to contribute to the melodrama, proving that no good scheme is without its redundant complexities. Because really, who doesn’t love an entrepreneurial disaster story?

Shot in front of a live studio audience—because laughing in a room full of strangers is always a solid strategy—“Side Hustle” initially set off with a modest 10 episodes. But because juggling flaming batons is always in fashion, they doubled it to 20, proving that more is definitely merrier in the world of teen-centric comedy.

As for the masterminds behind the madness, John Beck and Ron Hart are steering the ship alongside Nickelodeon’s Shauna Phelan. Their next venture? A brand new comedy called “That Girl Lay Lay,” which is gearing up to take the spotlight in September. So much hustle, so little time to catch your breath—who needs downtime when you can keep the wheels spinning in the pursuit of comedy gold?
