Exclusive: Meet the stars of Nickelodeon's game-changing new show about girls in biz

 
In Nickelodeon's new show Game Shakers, two talented chicas start a biz—but it's not *all* fun and games being a #girlboss. We sat down with the stars for a sneak peek at this seriously inspiring series (and chatted about their own awesome ambitions, weasel poop and way more)...
Seventh graders Babe (Cree Cicchino) and Kenzie (Madisyn Shipman) figured that Sky Whale, the awesome game they created together, was just a fun science project that could hopefully earn them a good grade. But once everyone starts playing it, the game totally explodes in popularity—even catching the eye of billionaire rapper Double G (Kel Mitchell). The problem? Double G isn't exactly a fan.

A double deal...

Double G loves the game, but what he doesn't love is that Babe and Kenzie used his song without asking. So when he threatens to sue, the girls put their heads together and propose a deal. If Double G lets them use his song, they'll partner up with his son, Triple G (Benjamin Flores, Jr.), for their business. And with fellow seventh grader Hudson (Thomas Kuc) as their game tester, they've put together the perfect team.

 

Company craziness...

But with a business like theirs, these Gamer Shakers are bound to find themselves in about a million outrageous situations—including a whole bunch in a special Halloween episode to look out for. And if you think their on-screen antics (like Babe's dancing) are wacky, you should hear about what happens behind the scenes. "There's one episode where we had a weasel on set," shares Madisyn. "It pooped and peed on my arm—and we had to finish the scene like nothing happened. It was pretty intense!" Shooting in the same studio as the Henry Danger cast has its perks, too. "There are so many funny moments we've shared," says Cree. "There are handshakes, dances, inside jokes. We're always laughing." Buds on-screen and off-screen, these kids keep the LOL-moments coming.

 

Totally techy...

But Sky Whale isn't the only app in Madisyn and Cree's life (although they admit that they and their families just can't stop playing, even off-set). The girls are also huge fans of social media and can't live without Instagram. As for their own business ideas, they're thinking big, with Madisyn dreaming about her own clothing company (designed with her BFF, of course) and Cree hoping to work with cute critters. "I'd love to be apart of an organization that helps save and protect animals—I believe it's so important."
