Plot Synopsis

Based on Lincoln Peirce's children's books and comic strip of the same name, BIG NATE is an animated series that centers on Nate Wright, a sixth-grade kid who has a never-ending need to prove his awesomeness to the world. Whether he's dealing with disasters at home or detention at school, Nate is no stranger to a challenge. Luckily, he's able to express himself through the world of cartoons that he creates. Charming, mischievous and a magnet for misadventure, Nate always finds a way to turn trouble into fun. In the series premiere, "The Legend of the Gunting," Nate has multiple detentions on the docket, per usual. But this time he is only one detention away from a fate only whispered about in the halls of P.S. 38. Meanwhile, the unhinged new kid is determined to become Nate's prank partner. Jack Black guest stars as Brad Gunter, a prankster of epic proportions and Nate's inspiration, and Daniel Jacobs lends his voice as Bentley Carter, the new kid at P.S. 38 eager to wreak havoc through the school on teachers and students alike.
