MUMBAI: Based on Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures' feature film Barnyard, Nickelodeon will premiere an animated comedy series Back At The Barnyard, titled on 29 September at 9 pm (ET/PT). The show will air next day on Nicktoons Network.

Created by the Oscar-nominated writer/director Steve Oedekerk (Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective), the series follows the adventures of a group of party animals who live colourful lives undetected by the humans living around them. Back At The Barnyard will air every Saturday at 10:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the US.

"Back At The Barnyard delivers the same lovable characters as the feature film, but packs in even more fun and laughs with rapid-fire gags and slapstick humor," said Nickelodeon Television EVP original programming and development Marjorie Cohn.

Picking up a few years after the feature film left off, Back At The Barnyard chronicles the animal shenanigans that take place in the barnyard when the farmer's back is turned. The series centers around a carefree party cow named Otis, who has recently become the patriarch of the farm. He is driven by an endless need for fun and frivolity while avoiding close calls with humans and other threats to the animals' unconventional way of life.

Raised on the farm but wild at heart, Otis has an insatiable zeal for laughter, happiness and the pursuit of a good time, though these schemes of having "human fun" often leave him and his friends in a jam. But his responsible side ultimately wins and Otis does the right thing, remaining a true leader to his barnyard friends. He and his band of malcontents, including his best friend Pip, the sassy smart-mouthed cow, Bessy and the loyal to a fault Pig, will stop at nothing to squeeze every last drop of fun out of their time in the barnyard, state an official release.
