Episodes

Season 1 (2015)

Production

The series was first announced in March 2014, just four months after its predecessor The Fresh Beat Band was cancelled. In August of the same year, it was announced that Nickelodeon was currently in production on the show and it was slated for a 2015 release. From November 2014 until February 2015, several songs from Fresh Beat Band of Spies episodes were performed as part of "The Fresh Beat Band: Greatest Hits Live" tour; products such as posters and T-shirts featuring the cartoon Fresh Beat characters were sold at these concerts.

Broadcast

Fresh Beat Band of Spies premiered in the United States on June 15, 2015 and continues to be shown in reruns on both Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. It was first shown on Nickelodeon Canada on September 1, 2015. The series will debut on Nick Jr. in Australia on February 1.

Reception

The series has received generally positive reviews from critics. Common Sense Media reviewer Emily Ashby gave the show four out of five stars, praising the show's use of "quirky villains" rather than "real scares." In October 2015, USA Today listed the series as one of the twenty-five best family programs of the year.

Accolades

The episode "Singing Pirate" was nominated for "Outstanding Achievement, Production Design in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production" in the 43rd Annie Awards.
