Nickelodeon’s new live-action series Erin and Aaron (Season 1) will stream on Netflix US and other regions starting in Fall 2023.
Previously, Deadline had informed that the entire first season would premiere on Netflix internationally in the fall. New information, from a source close to the production, now tells us that the series will also be broadcast nationally in the United States.
What is Nickelodeon? Erin and Aaron About?
Erin and Aaron is an all-new musical series starring Ava Ro and Jensen Gering as the similarly named titular characters Erin and Aaron. It tells the story of a newly merged family and two wavering brothers who find common ground in their love of music.
The supporting cast includes her television parents, David S. Jung and Larisa OleynikLike Chuck and Sylvia. Larisa is making her big comeback after a 25-year absence from Nickelodeon’s live-action television.

Completing the cast is pyper brown plays the youngest girl, Natasha, while luca diaz and Celia Mendez He plays Hunter and Vivian, Erin and Aaron’s best friends.
Because it is Erin and Aaron Are you coming to Netflix?
It seems that the new Nickelodeon series has a similar treatment to That Lay Lay Girl what allows you stream on Netflix worldwide but without Netflix Original branding in the US.
Netflix has a long history of collaborating with Paramount on Nickelodeon shows and movies, including the original series. failure technologiesthe brilliant original film Rocko’s Modern Life Static Clingand the upcoming spin-off of the SpongeBob Universe, Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie.
As you know, Netflix formed a multi-year production deal in 2019.

Netflix also pays Paramount Global an annual license fee to stream the series, which translates to more money for a company currently struggling with sinking stocks and dwindling free cash flow. At a time when only Netflix and Hulu are profitable, it makes sense for Paramount to hang on to those additional revenue streams. The additional licensing revenue from Netflix incentivizes Paramount to renew this series for additional seasons, which fans will surely appreciate.
One of the biggest titles in this multi-year deal so far is Nickelodeon’s. That Lay Lay Girl which has performed quite well on Netflix’s Kids Top 10 list and is currently in the midst of a massive 39-episode second season, likely extended due to the success fueled by its presence on Netflix. Erin and Aaron it is expected to benefit in a similar way.

Willpower Erin and Aaron Stream on Paramount+?
Erin and Aaron will stream on Netflix worldwide this fall. However, Nickelodeon is owned by Paramount Global. When will you stream on your own streaming service?
If this program follows the pattern of That Lay Lay Girl Season 1, which began airing on Paramount+ around the same time Season 2A premiered on Netflix in February 2023, there is a 1-year exclusivity window for each season. We can only provide a guess, but we hope Paramount+ US gets access to the first season of Erin and Aaron in the fall of 2024.
Oddly enough, Paramount+ is facing the industry’s longest television window for new episodes airing on its cable networks, including MTV, VH1, CMT, and Nickelodeon. New episodes take 1.5-2 years to air on Paramount+. In the meantime, they are exclusively available on demand or via DVR. Erin and AaronParamount+’s expected broadcast date will likely be sped up from six months to 1 year, similar to That Lay Lay GirlDisponibility.
It is unknown why That Lay Lay Girl and Erin and AaronNetflix’s contracts with Netflix allow them to bypass the 2-year delay.
