This show has a wiki of its own: Max & the Midknights.
Max & the Midknights[1] is an animated American fantasy comedy based on the graphic novel series of the same name written and illustrated by Lincoln Pierce (the author of Big Nate, which has also been adapted into a Nickelodeon animated series). The series was greenlit by Nickelodeon on November 17, 2021.
It started its production in January 2022 and its production of its first two episodes started in November 2023 and finished in January 2024. They were released on YouTube on June 9 and July 7, 2024 respectively.[2][3] The series will air on Nickelodeon on October 30, 2024.[4]
Synopsis[]
Max & the Midknights follows a determined 10-year-old girl named Max, who pursues her dream of becoming a knight by leading her friends on an epic adventure in the fantastical medieval kingdom of Byjovia. As a small girl with big ideas in the Middle Ages, Max will defy the status quo, fight for justice, and inspire everyone she meets with her feisty and fearless leadership. Not only will Max and the Midknights battle sword-wielding zombies, duel a malevolent sorceress, and tame a fire-breathing dragon, they'll also have loads of fun, forge lasting bonds of friendship, and push each other to be braver and bolder versions of themselves. Clever, kind, and seriously sassy, Max is always ready to lend a hand -- or a sword -- whenever anyone needs help.
