Development
In 1991, the first year the Big Nate comic was published, Peanuts executive producer Lee Mendelson purchased the option from Lincoln Peirce to make a 2D-animated Big Nate television series for Saturday Morning Cartoons at NBC, who “was paid $5,000 to write a quote-on-quote bible describing the characters and outlining a few story ideas”. However, the day after this deal was finalized, NBC canceled all of their Saturday Morning Cartoons, sending the series into development hell.

In March of 2003, Peirce announced that he was working with Warner Bros. to make a Big Nate animated series that would go on The WB and their programming block, Kids’ WB.

After UPN and The WB merged to turn into The CW, Kids’ WB was turned into The CW 4Kids. An anime programming block on The CW. After all of this, the Big Nate show was on hiatus since 2008 until Cartoon Network picked it up in 2013 for a few more seasons.

In September 2020, Warner Bros said that they were making an animated movie for Big Nate, coming in July 2022. Previously in May 2020, WarnerMedia said that they are making a streaming service called HBO Max and they made a Big Nate animated series that came out on July 2021. Then, they changed the release date of the movie to September 18, 2021 after COVID cases were getting lower.
