Nickelodeon Studios is about to begin production on My Weird School, a new feature-length movie based on Dan Gutman’s bestselling book series.

The movie will follow middle school student Aj as he finds himself joining forces with faculty and friends to save the world from an alien invasion.

Production begins in Vancouver, Canada this month. The movie will stream day-and-date on Paramount+ and air on Nickelodeon channels in all markets where available. Premiere details will be announced at a later date.

With more than 100 titles and 35 million copies sold, Gutman’s My Weird School series follows the day-to-day life of wisecracking A.J., his loyal pals Ryan and Michael, and his archenemy, smarty-pants Andrea, as they face a set of wacky teachers at Ella Mentry School—the weirdest school ever.

In the movie, Aj, played by Hero Hunter, hates middle school but he is willing to give it a chance to prove him wrong.
