The series also stars Benjamin Flores, Jr. as Triple G, Double G's son who the girls also hire as the game consultant, Thomas Kuc as Hudson, who is a test dummy for experiments on games, and Sheldon Bailey and Bubba Ganter as Ruthless and Bunny, Double G's assistants.
Plot
Babe and Kenzie are partners in Brooklyn who have created Sky Whale, a video game app, for their science project. When it proves to be successful, the two of them form a company called Game Shakers with the help of their friend Hudson. The three of them later befriend rapper Double G, who becomes their investor, and his son Triple G, who becomes their video game consultant.
Cast and characters
Main
- Babe (Cree Cicchino) is a 12-year-old girl and one of the creators of Game Shakers. She always does her own thing and doesn't mind stepping on someone's toes to do so. She is creative, confident, quick-witted, and fearless when it comes to making tough decisions.
- Kenzie (Madisyn Shipman) is a 12-year-old girl and one of the creators of Game Shakers. She lacks a social filter and tends to be extremely blunt, but makes up for her lackluster social skills with incredible tech knowledge.
- Triple G (Benjamin Flores, Jr.) is the son of Double G who had a lavish childhood, but all that he really wants is to be with kids his own age. He's eventually hired by Babe and Kenzie as their video game consultant.
- Hudson (Thomas Kuc) is a friend of Babe and Kenzie's, as well as a member of Game Shakers. Despite knowing that Hudson isn't necessarily intelligent, Babe said that he's "cute" and will do whatever they say.
- Double G (Kel Mitchell) is a successful rapper and billionaire whose real name is Gale J. Griffin. He is impulsive, unpredictable, and determined to have as much fun and money as possible. With the help of Babe and Kenzie, he rediscovers his love for gaming, and becomes the main investor of Game Shakers.
Recurring
- Ruthless (Sheldon Bailey) is Double G's assistant who is extremely loud.
- Bunny (Bubba Ganter) is Double G's other assistant. Bubba Ganter also played Bunny in the Sam & Cat episode "#PeezyB", where he was also the assistant of Kel Mitchell's character Peezy B.
- Mr. Sammich (Regi Davis) is Babe, Kenzie, and Hudson's science teacher at Sugar Hill High School.
