The perils of the digital age catch up to the kids of P.S. 38 (along with plenty of other troubles) in nine new episodes of Big Nate launching this week. Set to premiere Friday, August 19 on Paramount+, the latest misadventures of author Lincoln Peirce’s beloved misfit will see Nate pursuing his singing dreams, saveing a pregnant lizard and taking spring break to the next level.

Ahead of the batch release, check out the exclusive clip from Episode 9, “Best Laid Cell Plans”! When Francis gets an emergency cell phone, the gang makes major plans for it.
