Glitch Techs is an animated show created by Eric Robles and Dan Milano for Nickelodeon and Netflix in 2020. It is produced by Top Draw Animation, Maven Animation Studio, and Nickelodeon Animation Studios.
Plot[]
Hinobi is a huge gaming and tech company that makes massively popular video games and consoles. What Hinobi customers do NOT know is that whenever one of their games has a glitch, the creatures from the game are released into the real world! That's when the company sends the Glitch Techs: a trained support team equipped with an arsenal of fantastic gaming gear designed to capture video game pests and put them back where they belong! Once a glitch is returned, the Techs must remove any evidence it was there – including the memories of any witnesses! Not only do Glitch Techs fight for the safety of the city, but they also work at Hinobi stores, helping customers with tech support and service needs. Enter Miko and High Five – new recruits who fight glitches and reformat witnesses all before the store closes at 5 pm. Talk about a crazy job!
Production Information[]
Glitch Techs started production in 2016. In early 2019, Nickelodeon froze production of the episodes after the 20 in post production, and laid off several of the team members for reasons unknown. It was picked up by Netflix as part of a multi-year deal between Nickelodeon and Netflix, and it premiered on February 21, 2020. 20 episodes have been released so far across 2 seasons. As of now, no word has been given by Nickelodeon or Netflix over whether or not Glitch Techs will continue production. This leads to some fans assuming the show has been silently cancelled.

Trivia[]
- Glitch Techs was intended to air back in late 2018 on Nickelodeon, but instead was pushed to 2019 and finally to February 2020 on Netflix because of Nickelodeon's multi-year deal to release content for them.
- The second half of Season 1 (10 episodes) is now considered Season 2 on Netflix based on Dan Milano's tweet.
- Originally Nickelodeon ordered a 20 episode first season, and later 10 additional episodes were ordered. These last 10 were already written, boarded, and designed. However, they have not yet been animated since production of the show froze early 2019.
- Dan Milano mentioned that because he, Eric Robles, and Ian Graham wanted to show us what those later episodes would be like, so they had no choice but to replace two of the first 20 episodes with two from the extra 10. As a result, The Real Glitch Techs and Settling the Score from the extra batch got fully animated, but two of the first 20 episodes (Food Feud and Bolypius) had to be left unproduced with the rest.
- About the currently unproduced episodes, five were ready to be shipped to be fully animated, but the rest were near in completion with pre-production. As of now, these episodes are sitting safe in Nickelodeon’s server until the network could allow production of the show to continue. It's unknown if Netflix will order continuation, or if Paramount Plus will pick up the series from them.
- In Instagram on November 20, 2023 Eric Robles announce that Glitch Techs will move to Paramount+. [1]
- Eric Robles has revealed in a tweet that Glitch Techs has been planning a story arc.
- Eric Robles has revealed that one of the episodes yet to be completed, "Return to Castlestein", would feature the return of Nogrog, voiced by Adam Croasdell and "Mobs and Minions", would Taylor Meskimen (replacing Rachael Russakoff) is the 2nd voice of Nica Kubota.
