Ben Daon Latest News, Photos, and Videos

The cast of the upcoming new Nickelodeon series The Astronauts are taking fans behind-the-scenes!

Miya Cech, Ben Daon, Bryce Gheisar, Kayden Grace Swan and Keith L. Williams open up about the show and what it’s like filming when they’re “in space,” and what it takes to make that illusion.

“One of my favorite parts of working on The Astronauts is the zero G. There isn’t any gravity in space, so we get to do a lot of wire work,” Ben said. “Twenty odd feet in the air. Literally redefining ‘hanging out.’”

“It’s like having balloons under your arms, and pretty much just slow motion [movements],” Kayden added.

The show’s stunt coordinator, Rob “Sluggo” Boyce, also dished on all the wire work and stunt movements.

“The show we’re working on takes place in space, so there’s zero gravity,” he says in the video. “Through many of the episodes, they’re just hanging from the ceiling and we’re floating around, puppeteering them, getting to do what we need them to do.”

The full trailer for Nickelodeon’s upcoming series The Astronauts has finally landed!

Miya Cech, Keith L. Williams, Ben Daon, Bryce Gheisar, and Kayden Grace Swan all star in the new series, set for a one hour premiere on Friday, November 13th.

In the hour long premiere, the spacecraft Odyssey II is set to launch on a mission to retrieve a foreign object that could potentially save mankind. The plan quickly goes awry when five untrained kids use their parents’ security clearances to sneak onto the empty ship.

Soon after they board, the onboard AI system triggers the launch sequence. Unable to stop the ship from blasting off, the kids must assume their new role as astronauts and brave harrowing tasks, as their parents rush to find a way to take control of the situation.

The Astronauts is also the first co-production from Nickelodeon’s partnership with Imagine Kids+Family.

Check out the trailer right here and tune in to the series premiere on Friday, November 13th at 7pm ET/PT on Nickelodeon!

The first teaser for The Astronauts is here!

Nickelodeon shared the sneak peek video during the 2020 Kids’ Choice Awards: Celebrate Together over the weekend.

In The Astronauts, the spaceship Odyssey II is set to launch to investigate a mysterious asteroid passing by Earth.

When a group of kids use their parent’s security clearance to sneak onto the empty ship, the launch sequence is accidentally initiated.

Blasting off into space with no proper training, a malfunctioning onboard AI system, and their parents watching from Earth, the kids embark on a journey of survival using only their smarts and friendship as tools.

The series stars Keith L. Williams, Miya Cech, Bryce Gheisar, Ben Daon, and Kayden Grace Swan, and will premiere on Nickelodeon later this year!
