Max & the Midknights
This animated Nickelodeon adventure follows ten-year-old Max on a quest to become a knight in a colorful, comedic medieval kingdom, facing villains, trolls, zombies, and dragons alongside her loyal friends. The show covers Season 1 (premiere October 30, 2024) and the ongoing series; the tone stays funny and fast-moving, keeping even tense moments feeling more silly than scary.
A great fit for kids around 6–9 who love silly action-adventure; sensitive children under 6 may find the villain and zombie episodes a bit much.
Episodes to know about
Uncle Budrick faces beheading; the threat is played with urgency before the gang narrowly rescues him.
The group battles a pair of large, ferocious trolls; the monsters are played more threatening than silly in this episode.
Zombies rise from a graveyard and attack the Midknights at night; this is the show's spookiest episode and the one most likely to unsettle sensitive younger viewers.
