Episode Guide | Season 1 | Season 2 |
Season 1 is the first season of Make It Pop. Nickelodeon ordered 20 episodes in the season.[1]
Three unique girls--an aspiring pop diva, a fashionista and a bookworm--come together at school to form their own K-pop-inspired band in Nickelodeon’s newest live-action, daily scripted series, Make It Pop, premiering Monday, April 6, at 7 p.m. (all times ET/PT). Co-created by Thomas W. Lynch and multi-faceted entertainer Nick Cannon, Make It Pop features original songs and performances with a modern pop twist and an EDM beat from the show’s emerging, real-life group, XO-IQ. Viewers can catch a sneak peek of Make It Pop on Satruday, April 4 at 9 p.m. Make It Pop will air regularly on Nickelodeon weekdays at 7 p.m. and each episode will be available on Nick.com and the Nick App the day after its linear TV premiere.
Continuing Nickelodeon’s success with the daily, serialized format of hit shows like Every Witch Way and House of Anubis, Make It Pop is a new half-hour comedy where diva Sun Hi (Megan Lee), fashionista Jodi (Louriza Tronco) and bookworm Corki (Erika Tham) must learn to live together in perfect harmony after they are randomly selected to room together at boarding school. With the help of fellow classmate and aspiring DJ, Caleb (Dale Whibley), the girls grow from roommates to bandmates as their group, XO-IQ, becomes a school-wide sensation and they compete for a place in the upcoming school musical, all while balancing music, grades, relationship and crushes.
Make It Pop is co-created by Thomas W. Lynch (The Secret World of Alex Mack, South of Nowhere) and Nick Cannon (Nickelodeon HALO Awards) and produced by DHX Media. Lynch and Cannon will serve as executive producers together with DHX Media’s Steven DeNure and Anne Loi. The musical direction of the series is being led by Bill Silva Entertainment, with music supervision by Peter Coquillard and Pilar McCurry of Silva Music Publishing. XO-IQ is managed by Bill Silva Management.
