Nickelodeon is currently in production on "Fresh Beat Band of Spies," a brand-new animated preschool series based on the hit live-action show, "The Fresh Beat Band." In the new series, Kiki (Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer), Marina (Tara Perry), Twist (Jon Beavers) and Shout (Thomas Hobson) are bandmates and also undercover spies. The pop band uses their individual talents and the coolest transforming spy gadgets to outwit a goofy cast of bad guys and solve wild and wacky mysteries. The series, which teaches problem-solving to preschoolers, is created by Nadine van der Velde and Scott Kraft ("The Fresh Beat Band"). "Fresh Beat Band of Spies" will premiere in 2015.

The Fresh Beat Band soundtracks - "The Fresh Beat Band: Music From The Hit TV Show" and "The Fresh Beat Band: More Music From The Hit TV Show Vol 2.0" - are currently available on iTunes and in stores everywhere.
