Take an adventure back to the Dark Ages with Max & the Midknights! This new and upcoming animated series will arrive on Nickelodeon next month. Each episode will feature Max, a young girl who dreams of being a knight. To reach her goals, she has the support of her friends and takes on medieval conquests that are more suited for experienced knights.
But hey, Max could do anything she sets her mind to, and that's an important lesson for children to learn, even if the outcomes might be disappointing. The essence is that you did your best despite what your audience tries to tell you differently. Kids naturally have confidence due to their developing minds and curiosity to explore and try new things, and Max and the Midnights firmly narrate the theme.
Having screened the episodes before the October premiere, I could already tell that kids, especially those who are into history and medieval realms, will enjoy Max & the Midknights. It's creative, fun, and has the correct dose of adventure without the scary elements. And you'll learn about the Middle Ages without diving too deep. Plus, there are dragons, which make every storyline better.
Here's everything to know about this exciting new show and what to expect!
