Drake & Josh is an American teen sitcom created by Dan Schneider for Nickelodeon. The series follows teenage stepbrothers Drake Parker (Drake Bell) and Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) as they live together despite their opposite personalities. Nancy Sullivan and Jonathan Goldstein star as Drake's mother and Josh's father, respectively, and Miranda Cosgrove plays Drake's devious younger sister. Bell performs the series' theme song, "I Found a Way", written by Bell and Backhouse Mike.

Contents

Bell and Peck previously appeared in The Amanda Show , a Nickelodeon variety series created by Schneider that ran on Nickelodeon from 1999 to 2002. A sketch featuring Bell and Peck arguing over a piece of shrimp prompted network executives to cast the two actors in their own spin-off, Drake & Josh. The series premiered on January 11, 2004, on Nickelodeon to critical acclaim.

During production of the fourth season, Bell was injured during a car accident, and filming stalled for four months during his recovery. A television film, Drake & Josh Go Hollywood , premiered in early 2006. A television special, Really Big Shrimp , served as the series finale, and the series' final new broadcast episode aired on September 16, 2007, marking 56 episodes in 4 seasons for the show. After the finale, the network aired the one-time special Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh in 2008.

Drake & Josh was a ratings success, garnering 3.2 million viewers for its premiere, and it consistently ranked as one of the most watched series in its demographic during its run. It won 2 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, 2 UK Kids' Choice Awards, and 3 Australian Kids' Choice Awards and was nominated for 7 other awards, including at the Young Artist Awards and the Casting Society of America. Other media include books, DVD and VHS releases, promotional singles, and video games based on the series.

Plot

The series revolves around two teenage stepbrothers, Drake Parker and Josh Nichols, who live in San Diego, California, with Drake's younger biological sister Megan and biological mother Audrey, and Josh's biological father Walter. Drake is cool and charismatic, having his own band and being popular with girls, yet can be narcissistic and absent-minded, while Josh is intellectual, clumsy, and awkward; yet very loving and caring. Josh starts working at a local movie theater in the second season, which becomes a key set location for the rest of the series. Despite their opposite personalities, Drake and Josh have shown multiple times throughout the series that they care deeply about each other and have each others' backs. The two boys are often involved in comedic escapades and challenges while handling various teenage problems.

Production

Drake Bell and Josh Peck had previously acted together on The Amanda Show , created by Dan Schneider. [2] Bell and Peck's differing personalities inspired Schneider to create a new show starring them as characters with traits similar to their own. [3] An unaired pilot episode featured Stephen Furst as Walter Nichols, although he was busy with another project when Drake & Josh was picked up as a series, and Jonathan Goldstein was cast in the role instead. [4] [5] A house in Los Angeles' Encino neighborhood was used for exterior shots of the family's home, [6] [7] [8] while interior scenes were shot on a sound stage at the Nickelodeon on Sunset studios in Hollywood. [9] Tribune Studios in Hollywood was also used as a filming location. [10]

Production was suspended in late December 2005, after Bell's injury in a car crash, [11] [12] prior to which he had filmed three episodes of the fourth season. [11] Bell's accident was the result of a driver falling asleep at the wheel and colliding head-on with Bell's 1966 Mustang, which had no seat belts or airbags, resulting in extensive facial injuries. [13] Filming resumed in March 2006 [13] [14] with the episode "My Dinner with Bobo". [15] The following month, Nickelodeon greenlit an additional seven episodes for the fourth season, and Bell and Peck signed on to direct several episodes. [16] [14] With the extended season, filming continued through July 2006. [14] According to Schneider, the show ended due to a collective decision from the creative forces behind the show. [17]

The profession of the family's mother is never revealed on the show, although Schneider had written dialogue into the series finale that would have revealed her profession at a catering business. The scene was filmed, but Schneider ultimately chose to remove it during editing. Schneider said, "On the one hand, I thought it was funny to finally reveal it, so casually, in the very last episode – there was something ironic about that. But then I decided that, because fans always seemed to have fun trying to figure it out (what 'Mom's' name and job were), it would be better to 'keep the bit going' for eternity, by never revealing it in any episode." [1]

Broadcast

Online videos

Beginning in December 2016, Bell and other cast members released a series of short online videos titled Where's Walter? Bell, Sullivan, and Yvette Nicole Brown reprised their roles for the videos, which involve a search for Walter after he goes missing. [38] [39] [40]

Possible revival

In March 2019, Bell announced that he and Peck were working on a Drake & Josh revival that would feature both of them reprising their roles. [41] The proposed project would have featured similar characters and scenarios in a more adult, comedic way. [42] At the time, Bell and Peck were in discussions with several networks about the project. [43]

In October 2021, it was reported that the original proposed revival had been cancelled, as a result of production delays and Bell's guilty plea to his recent criminal charges. [44]

In March 2022, Bell and his wife Janet stated that the reboot show they had pitched would be called Josh & Drake. Ultimately, the idea was shelved due to creative differences. The show's script was said to have been written by Peck. Janet stated, "Josh wrote Drake as a failed musician and Josh wrote himself as a real estate agent. OK, that's fine, but Drake is a musician in real life, so it wouldn't make sense." Bell added, "I just asked him to change a couple things and he couldn't and my wife wouldn't let me do it." [45]

In March 2023, Cosgrove told E! News "nothing's off the table" in regards to a possible revival. [46]

In August 2024, in addition to the latter statement, Bell stated that he would be open to a revival reprising his starring role but with a new setting with sets of characters in a buddy comedy setting, differing from the original series. [47]
