Breadwinners (TV series)

Breadwinners is an American animated comedy television series created by Gary "Doodles" DiRaffaele and Steve Borst and developed by Bill Braudis for Nickelodeon. The series is about two ducks named SwaySway and Buhdeuce who run a bread delivery company around Pondgea, the show's world. The series ran for two seasons and 40 episodes (comprising 77 segments) from February 17, 2014 - September 12, 2016 across Nickelodeon and its sister network, Nicktoons. After the series was cancelled in 2016, the show continued to air reruns on the latter until July 4, 2021. Breadwinners was also available on Paramount+ until its removal on December 20, 2024.

The series was originally conceived as an animated short from DiRaffaele's efficiency apartment in Studio City, Los Angeles, along with Borst. The two had previously met in Burbank while working on Kevin Shinick’s animated sketch comedy series, Mad, in 2013. Originally a one-off short, Breadwinners premiered at a short film festival held at a bar in New York City, and later was linked to the network, where they were contacted and the show was developed into a full-fledged series, which premiered on February 17, 2014.
