Get ready for another Drake & Josh movie. Sparked by the success and popularity of the Nickelodeon sitcom, Drake Bell and Josh Peck returns with yet another TV movie called Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp.  Fans can catch the premiere on Friday, August 3 at 8pm ET/PT.

Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp marks the second TV movie following Drake & Josh Go Hollywood.  It revolves around Drake’s journey to fame and fortune as Spin City Records pursues him for their label.  But Josh’s lack of experience as a manager, not to mention his fondness for big shrimp, leads him to a messed up record deal he sealed for his wannabe rock star stepbrother.  Music, drama and comedy muddle up the plot as the stepbrothers struggle to uphold their rocky friendship.

In addition to the upcoming TV movie, Nickelodeon will also be serving a huge doze of Drake vs. Josh on Saturday, August 4, with an eight-hour marathon starting at 12 noon. Hosted by Miranda Cosgrove, who plays Drake’s biological sister Megan Parker, the marathon will feature favorite episodes as Cosgrove keeps score for Drake and Josh for competing in events like Shrimpo Roman Wrestling, Shrimptona 500, Shrimp Regata and The Long Swim Home.  On top of that, the show will be interlaced with a sneak peak of Cosgrove’s own TEENick series, iCarly, in September, and will finish with an encore of Really Big Shrimp at 8pm.

"Kids loved the first Drake & Josh TV movie, Drake & Josh Go Hollywood, which scored huge ratings last year, and Really Big Shrimp has big personal stakes for the guys that really puts their relationship to the test.  Not only does it feature Josh and Drake at their comic best but it has a great song from Drake.  Kids won't want to miss it," Nickelodeon's Executive Vice President Marjorie Cohn said.
