Santiago of the Seas On Nickelodeon In October

We reported on Santiago of the Seas a long time ago, but now we have some news as well as a date for the launch of the show.

Santiago of the Seas will premiere on October 9th and this Spanish-language and Latino-Caribbean culture infused action-adventure series will feature the 8 year old Santiago “Santi” Montes a pirate who searches for treasure and keeps everyone safe. We also learn more of Santiago’s crew, who we now know to be Tomás and Lorelai, who you can learn more about below. In the premiere “The Legend of Capitán Calavera,” Santiago and his friends become the protectors of Isla Encanto after they discover the lost treasure of Capitán Calavera. The Santiago of the Seas toys should be soon to follow and we expect them to fly off the shelves.

¡PIRATAS AHOY!

Preschoolers will set sail for swashbuckling adventures in Nickelodeon’s brand-new animated series Santiago of the Seas, premiering Friday, Oct. 9, at 12:30 p.m. (ET/PT). Infused with a Spanish-language and Latino-Caribbean culture curriculum, the action-adventure series (20 episodes) follows 8-year-old Santiago “Santi” Montes, a brave and kind-hearted pirate, as he embarks on daring rescues, searches for treasures and keeps the high seas safe in a fantastical Caribbean world. Following the U.S. launch, Santiago of the Seas will roll out on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. channels internationally.

In the series, Santiago’s (Kevin Chacon) steadfast and loyal crew consists of: Tomás (Justice Quiroz), his clumsy energetic cousin whose magical guitar can be used to harness the wind; and Lorelai (Alyssa Cheatham), a knowledgeable mermaid who can speak to sea creatures and transform into a young human girl. Together, Santi and his best mates sail the seas on the majestic ship El Bravo, using their smarts, pirate skills and moral compasses to guard their home of Isla Encanto from villains like the nefarious pirate Bonnie Bones (Kyndra Sanchez) and her Palm Crow sidekick Sir Butterscotch (John Leguizamo).

In the Santiago of the Seas series premiere, “The Legend of Capitán Calavera,” Santiago and his friends become the new pirate protectors of Isla Encanto after discovering the lost treasure of the legendary Capitán Calavera. Following the premiere, NickJr.com and the Nick Jr. App will feature original short-form content and full-length episodes. Episodes will also be available on Nick Jr. On Demand and Download-To-Own services.
