Recurring Cast[]
Axel Day as Nat McQueen - Nat is Kelsey’s little brother. Nat normally doesn’t say much at all. He is extremely quiet but his actions speak much louder and, having a very curious mind, he is always getting into something behind the scenes. He is pretty close to his sister and with her constantly busy with school nowadays, he struggles to find something to do.

He tends to gossip often which annoys a lot of people. Sunny is a friend bouncer- he bounces to different friend groups. One day he'll hang out with Mandy and Blake and then the next day you'll see him making friends with Drew. This causes many people not to exactly trust Sunny because he knows almost everyone in the school and they don't want him telling their business. Sunny is known to be a gossip and spread things around school, since school is so easy for him, it's how he entertains himself. Kelsey and Kristie, while they find him to be a nice guy to be friends with, make sure to steer clear of telling him too much.
Elaina London as Johanna - Johanna is a student at Lennford Prep and is a good friend of Shay. Johanna is a very frantic girl and tends to stress a lot, even over the smallest of things. Shay is a lot calmer than Johanna so the two kind of balance each other out, even though Johanna can get on Shay's nerves with her constant worrying. Johanna is seen in the pilot episode of the series and appears in various episodes after.

Quirky, energetic, extremely smart, and very close best friends Kelsey and Kristie arrive at their brand new school Lennford Prep, an elite middle and high school for cream of the crop students. Excited to take on the new educational thrills coming their way, nerd girls Kelsey and Kristie embrace their new environment with open arms. The two meet very welcoming students such as Mandy and Blake and even one ultra competitive student, Drew. However, only on the first day, Kelsey and Kristie find struggles adjusting to the school such as the fast paced classes, strict teachers, and most of all, the fact that the two have almost no classes together. Just when Kelsey and Kristie think that their entire year will be spent separated, they end the day with a class they'll share together, Geometry Honors. In class finally together, Kelsey and Kristie are able to work their brains like they usually do and exhibit an impressive performance. Right before class ends, Kelsey is told to present a problem on the board. But, unlike how Kelsey has presented previous math problems in her life, their teacher Mr. G. does not allow her to present with Kristie. Without Kristie by her side, nervous and caught off guard, Kelsey freezes up and fails to do the problem, embarrassing herself in front of the entire class. After the incident, Kelsey no longer wants to go to Lennford. But the next morning, Kristie gives Kelsey a virgorous pep talk, concluding that even though they may not be able to do as much things together at Lennford as they could at their other school, they can't quit and they have to believe that all of the thinking they've done together all their lives was worth something. Plus, working together is never a bad thing at all, in fact, great things can come out of it. With that, Kelsey and Kristie decide to give Lennford another shot, this time with more confidence and a plan to show everyone that two heads are better than one.

Development[]
Nerd Girls was first pitched to Wiki Channel by Jessie1010 in April of 2014 as The Nerd Girls. Jessie1010 loved the idea of two quirky girls leading a show, as opposed to the usual perfect girl with a perfect life. He also loved the idea of having a show that centered around the academic part of school and its hardships. The channel loved the idea and embraced it with open arms. The title of the show was soon changed to Nerd Girls.
Kelsey and Kristie were the first characters written for the show. Their friends were originally written as Mandy and Alex. Alex's name was soon changed to Blake. A twin for Mandy named Brandi was also considered but did not make it to the pilot. Shay, Kristie's sister, was then added and to add more boys to the cast, Nat, Kelsey's brother, was written in. Lastly, Finns, the cooky next door neighbor of Kelsey and friend to the girls, was added to add variety to girls' lives.[3]
Jessie1010 really wanted the cast to be something special and he knew about Wiki Channel actress Olivia Staton, known for the hit movie Too Little Too Late and What's Up With...?. He wanted her to be apart of the show. Ahead of casting offered her the role of Kristie which she excepted. She also was given the position of an executive producer so she could have creative involvement. The show was finally picked up to a pilot in January 2015.[4] Veronica Rodriquez was cast to play Kelsey amongst a group of other talented actors cast to play the other characters (including Alexis Thomson from James in Hollywood). The pilot was filmed in February and picked up to a series in March for a summer 2015 premiere.
The series began promotion in May 2015. Wiki Channel used the hashtag #NerdGirlsBeLike to promote the show, including it in online memes posted by the channel and promos. The memes would include funny captions to pictures from the show and the promo videos included clips from the show, showing what a "nerd girl" would say. On May 29, Wiki Channel held a special programming events titled "Meet Volivia" which introduced Staton and Rodriquez as the stars of Nerd Girls. The night included special airings of both of the girls' Wiki Channel movies, the two talking about the show and themselves, and special clips from Nerd Girls. The show then premiered on June 15, 2015 to 5.5 million viewers after the premiere of Temple Run.[5]
In the July 2016, after one successful season airing on Wiki Channel, creator Jessie1010 announced that Nerd Girls would be moving to a new channel for the rest of its run, following up with a deal he got with another company. Reruns of the show are set to air for the rest of the summer of 2016 and then the show will be pulled from Wiki Channel's lineup completely.
