That's all right, that's okay. I bet you never thought you'd hear them say that they think it’s time for a remake of the 2000 film Snow Day, but it's happening. Nickelodeon and Paramount+ have released a trailer for the reimagining of the third film ever released by Nickelodeon Movies. With it, they revealed a premiere date.
The new Snow Day will be released on Paramount+ on December 16 and air on Nickelodeon at 7 PM that night. A similar same-day release strategy occurred for October's Monster High: The Movie and last year's A Loud House Christmas. It's no ordinary remake either, it's a full-blown musical. It stars Ky Baldwin and Michaela Russell (young Wanda in WandaVision) as siblings Hal and Natalie Brandston jubilant over their school's closure for a snow day, ready to live it to the fullest. However, Natalie wants more and doesn't want it to end. So she must challenge the town's bitter snow plow man if she wants to have that second snow day. That snow plow man, played by Chris Elliott in the original film, is played by iCarly's Jerry Trainor. Yes, the remake of the film that launched Josh Peck's Nickelodeon career now stars his Drake & Josh co-star. The remake was initially announced in March as it began production.
While the original film also starred the likes of Jean Smart and Chevy Chase as the Brandston parents, Emanuelle Chriqui, Pam Grier, and John Schneider, the remake has Laura Bell Bundy and Rob Huebel in Smart and Chase’s parental roles and also features Logan Aultman, Monique Jasmine Paul, Destiny Rettinger, Viggo Hanvelt, Dominic Mariche, Myles Erlick, and Lilly Bartlam. Michael Lembeck, who previously directed The J Team for the streamer, as well as both The Santa Clause sequels for Disney, is directing the remake. The script is still credited to Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi who may or may not be directly involved, along with Samantha Martin, who also wrote the teleplay and some original music for this version. Her credits include Henry Danger's musical episode. In the intervening years, Viscardi had risen through the ranks of Nickelodeon Animation Studios as Senior Vice President of Animation and Development before moving into a producer role at the network in 2018.
