The quest is yet to come in Nickelodeon’s all-new live-action puppet comedy series, The Barbarian and the Troll.

After Evan convinces Brendar to bring him on her quest to vanquish the evil demon, they cross treacherous terrain to confront bizarre and magical creatures and encounter an eclectic puppet cast of wacky characters.
