Henry Danger will air regularly on
Nickelodeon Saturdays at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).
In the series premiere, Henry discovers that being a superhero's sidekick is much harder than he ever thought. Henry desperately struggles to balance the demands of his schoolwork, his family responsibilities, and his new job as Kid Danger - all while keeping his crime fighting alter ego a secret from everyone he knows, including his two best friends Charlotte (Riele Downs) and Jasper (Sean Ryan Fox) and younger sister Piper (Ella Anderson). When Henry's life begins to crumble under the pressure, he turns to Captain Man for help. Captain Man offers Henry the use of an amazing new device that solves Henry's problems... at first. But it comes with a high cost, as Henry discovers at school the next day.
