School of Rock is an American musical live-action sitcom which premiered March 12, 2016 on Nickelodeon. The series, based on the 2003 film of the same name, stars Breanna Yde, Ricardo Hurtado, Jade Pettyjohn, Lance Lim, Aidan Miner, Tony Cavalero, and Jama Williamson.

Plot

Set in Austin, Texas, the series follows a group of rule-abiding students—Zack, Lawrence, Freddy, Summer and Tomika—who learn to take risks and reach new heights thanks to substitute teacher Dewey Finn, a down-on-his-luck musician who uses the language of rock and roll to inspire his class to form a secret band. Throughout the school year, these middle-school classmates find themselves navigating relationships, discovering their unknown talents and learning lessons on loyalty and friendships.

  • Freddy (Ricardo Hurtado) is a 12-year-old schoolboy who is considered the most handsome guy in his class and is best friends with fellow classmates Zack and Lawrence. Unbeknownst to him, one of his classmates Summer has a huge crush on him. He plays the drums.
  • Summer (Jade Pettyjohn) is a 12-year-old schoolgirl who is best friends with Tomika and has a huge crush on Freddy. She plays the tambourine.
