Pickle and Peanut is an American animated television series that premiered on Disney XD on September 7, 2015.[1][2] The series was created by Noah Z. Jones, creator of Fish Hooks and Almost Naked Animals, and developed by Joel Trussell. It is about two anthropomorphic friends, Pickle and Peanut, whose misadventures form the content of the show. As with Jones' previous Disney series Fish Hooks, the show utilises a combination of live action and animation elements.
On July 23, 2016, during the San Diego Comic Con 2016, Disney announced that the show has been renewed for a second season.[3]
Characters
Main
- Pickle (voiced by Jon Heder) – A friendly pickle. Often causing mischief, Pickle is the best friend of Peanut. Despite his adulthood, Pickle can be shy and sometimes a nerd, and cowardly. Like real pickles, Pickle is taller than Peanut. Pickle wears a belt that covers his belly button (so that nobody can see it, as revealed in "Swim Lessons"). Pickle works at the Mjärt Mart along with Peanut, doing cool stuff whenever they can.
- Peanut (voiced by Johnny Pemberton) – Pickle's best friend, a peanut who wants to be cool and popular. Peanut is a freewheeling, peanut-looking man. Besides the goal of popularity, he also tries to attract ladies. Peanut drives a van and wears a headband. Peanut is cooler and a bit smarter than Pickle. Peanut, like Pickle, works at the Mjärt Mart, doing cart stunts whenever they can.
