NEW YORK,Feb. 12, 2018– Nickelodeon will bring its hit animated preschool series Sunny Day to life this summer with the debut of a robust portfolio of consumer products, beginning with a new line of toys from Mattel, and the launch of the Sunny Day Tour, an immersive on-ground activation that will travel to cities across the U.S.
Nickelodeon has also greenlit a second season (20 episodes) of Sunny Day that will follow Sunny, a 10-year-old master hairstylist and entrepreneur, as she goes on exciting new adventures in her seaside town of Friendly Falls.

The all-new toy line created in conjunction with Mattel includes basic and deluxe doll assortments, accessories, plush, role play and playsets. It will be available as a first-to-market this May at Walmart and will roll out to all other retailers in August.
“Sunny Day is a show that celebrates individuality and self-expression, and we wanted our new toy line to embody these empowering characteristics,”saidJennifer Caveza,SeniorVicePresident,Toys,NickelodeonConsumerProducts.“Created with Mattel, these products invite fans of the show to express their creativity, whether that’s through hair styling on the dolls or by recreating adventures in Sunny’s salon-on-the-go Glam Van.”

Sunny Day has broad appeal, inspiring entrepreneurship and creativity for any kiddo that walks down our toy aisles,” said Anne Marie Kehoe, Vice President, Toys, Walmart.  “We are excited to be the first in market to carry this Nickelodeon property and anticipate it being a hit.”

In season two of Sunny Day (20 episodes), Sunny, 10-year-old master hairstylist, entrepreneur, and problem solver extraordinaire, will “gear up and go” on exciting new adventures around her seaside community of Friendly Falls.  Along with best pals Blair, Rox, and Doodle, Lacey will join the salon team to manage Sunny’s new Pet Parlor.  Sunny will also hit the road in a brand-new vehicle, the Groom & Vroom, a styling vehicle exclusively for pets.  Developed and produced by Silvergate Media, Sunny Day features a social-emotional curriculum highlighting leadership, innovative thinking and teamwork.  New episodes of Sunny Day will continue to air regularly on Nickelodeon this year.
