'Baby Shark's Big Movie' Welcomes Cardi B And Her Family Back And More In Latest Casting Announcement

The first film based on the Nick Jr. series also welcomes the Queen of Mars and an Ego

Back in August, it was confirmed that Baby Shark's Big Show! would follow PAW Patrol and Blue's Clues and You! as Nick Jr. series getting a feature film, theirs titled Baby Shark's Big Movie. On Thursday, Nickelodeon, Paramount+ and The Pinkfong Company announced the newest additions to the voice cast for the film.

To start things off, previous major guest stars from the series will be appearing, frankly a rarity if not a first for series adaptations like this. Cardi B and Offset will return as Sharki B and Offshark. They and their first child, Kulture, voicing Kulture Sharki, first appeared in the episode "The Seaweed Sway", and will now be joined by the family's second child, Wave, at just 18 months old, voicing Wavey Shark. As for the celebrities voicing new characters *NSYNC's Lance Bass is voicing himself as he hosts some sort of TV program. Ashley Tisdale, Saturday Night Live stars Chloe Fineman and Ego Nwodim, Aparna Narcherla, and K-Pop boy band ENHYPHEN will also be contributing their voices.

Tisdale plays Stariana, a starfish that is rising as a pop star, considered sharp-witted and manipulative. She will do anything to achieve a splash hit, including who plans to steal Baby Shark’s gift of song. Her daughter Jupiter even had a Baby Shark birthday party. Nancherla is Gillie, Stariana's assistant, a boxfish described as "chaotic" and "bumbling". Nwodim will play Leah, a lantern shark and Mommy Shark's college best friend, while Fineman plays Lannie, her hyper and lovable daughter. ENHYPEN will essentially play beluga versions of themselves.

Baby Shark's Big Show! stars Kimiko Glenn as Baby Shark, Luke Youngblood as William, Natasha Rothwell as Mommy Shark, Eric Edelstein as Daddy Shark, Debra Wilson as Grandma Shark and Patrick Warburton as Grandpa Shark are all reprising their roles to star in the film, which is set to premiere on Paramount+ this holiday season.

The story for the film is that the family moves to Chomp City, the big city of sharks. Baby Shark must adjust to life without his best friend William nearby, but grapple with Stariana who wants to dominate all underwater music. And so, he goes on a mission to break her spell to restore harmony to the seas.

The series, currently in its second season, has its first, its Christmas special, and shorts streaming on Paramount+.
