N00bees is the Nickelodeon's first-ever gaming series, co-produced with Mediapro, and will bring fans closer to the world of video games. The show
began filming in Bogotá, Colombia in May 2018, and is set to air on Nickelodeon Latinoamérica in the fall. The series, featuring 60 1-hour episodes, will also run on the free-to-air (FTA) network RCN in Colombia later this year. The Spanish language series will also be adapted to Portuguese for Nick viewers in Brazil (Brasil).
N00Bees, whose title denotes a person who is new at playing an online game and/or is bad at it, follows Silvia, her brother Erick and their friends Tania, Pablo and Niko. Silvia has never been interested in video games. She has always preferred the outdoors and playing her favorite sport basketball. She is the opposite of her father, Hector, and her brother - for them video games is everything! When Erick is presented with the unique opportunity of participating in the E-Sports Championship, his greatest dream, Silvia does everything possible to help him achieve it, even if it means becoming a professional gamer. Silvia and Erick along with their friends create N00Bees - an E-sports team that will compete for the title at the Professional Video Games League. But the task will not be easy. Besides dealing with all the usual problems associated with growing up, Silvia will have to learn how to play video games while competing against David, the best player in the region and with whom she'll fall in love. What nobody knows is that something will happen to Silvia that will make her gain some incredible powers allowing her to control the way she plays videogames, and this will be epic! All this will unleash all kinds of adventures and moments that fans CANNOT miss!
