Nick has will produce 20 new episodes for the series, which follows the exploits of a 12-year old boy and his pet snake, said network officials.

“When Sanjay and Craig was first brought to us and was described as being about two best friends, with one that just happens to be a snake, we knew that it had the makings of a great Nickelodeon cartoon,” said Russell Hicks, president, of content development and production for Nickelodeon “This show is connecting with kids because our creators had a great vision and they are telling stories that our audience relates to and that are just flat out funny with a lot of heart.”
