Actress, model, recording artist, and personality Alyssa Cheatham’s name and face may both be familiar. As Will Smith’s daughter in the Warner Bros feature film, Collateral Beauty, this multi-talented young entertainer’s star was just beginning to rise and now, she has unquestionably become a recognizable member of #younghollywood. 

Since her blockbuster role in Collateral Beauty, Cheatham has been busy with an abundance of additional projects on screen and in the sound booth and her latest, Nickelodeon’s brand new preschool series, Santiago of the Seas, is about to set sail in October.

Today is my birthday! I am 11 years old!!! I am also so excited to share a secret that I’ve been keeping for over two years!!!! Nickelodeon’s brand new preschool series #SantiagoOfTheSeas is coming this fall! This news was JUST announced, worldwide! So, now I can tell you that I have a series regular role on the animated @nickjr show, as a singing mermaid named Lorelai 🧜🏾‍♀️🧜🏾‍♀️🧜🏾‍♀️ who can transform from mermaid to girl, as I move between land and sea! Santiago of the Seas, is a cartoon-adventure show infused with Spanish language and Latino-Carribean culture curriculum, following a brave and kind 8-year-old pirate, Santiago "Santi" Montes, as he embarks on daring rescues, searches for treasures and keeps the high seas safe in a fantastical Caribbean world. As part of Santi’s crew, we navigate the seas, help animals and people, and solve problems along the way! The @nickelodeon show is so entertaining and educational! You’ll get to hear me speak multiple languages, since my character can speak any language in world and I do lots of singing! Voicing this role and watching her come to life, was the coolest experience!!!! Thank you so much to my agent @pamelamgoldman for the opportunity and thank you to the rest of my team @robynlb129 @spencernachman @stephcorvino and my mom/coach @icoachstars for helping me achieve my dreams! Somebody pinch me!!! This doesn’t even feel real 😭❤️. I was wondering how my birthday this year was going to turn out, with everything going on. I have to say though, this is truly the best birthday gift ever. I definitely could not have imagined this 🤩😍.

Listos para aventura? Is everyone ready for adventure? Well, the new Spanish-language and Latino-Caribbean infused show will have preschoolers setting sail for culture-laced swashbuckling adventures and more. The 20-episode action-adventure series will follow eight-year-old Santiago “Santi” Montes, voiced by Kevin Chacon, a brave and kind-hearted pirate, as he embarks on daring rescues, searching for treasures and keeping the high seas safe in a fantastical Caribbean world. Following the U.S. launch, Santiago of the Seas will also be available on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. channels internationally. 

In addition to Cheatham and Chacon, the series will include the voices of Justice Quiroz, Kyndra Sanchez, and the famous John Leguizamo. 

In the Santiago of the Seas series premiere, “The Legend of Capitán Calavera,” Santiago and his friends become the new pirate protectors of Isla Encanto after discovering the lost treasure of the legendary Capitán Calavera. Following the premiere, log on to NickJr.com and the Nick Jr. App as they both will feature original short-form content and full-length episodes of the show. Episodes will also be available on both Nick Jr. On Demand and Download-To-Own services.  

This adorable new preschool series was created by Niki López, Leslie Valdes and Valerie Walsh Valdes. Valdes and Walsh Valdes, (Dora the Explorer), serve as executive producers with López co-executive producing. 

Mark your calendars for October 9th at 12:30 p.m. ET/PT. This looks like one adventure that is truly emocionante and your preschooler should not miss put!
