Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, the iconic Nickelodeon series that shaped the adolescence of many, has resurfaced on social media in an unexpected way. A recent Instagram post by Devon Werkheiser, the actor behind the lovable Ned Bigby, sent fans into a frenzy, sparking rumors of a pregnancy. However, as the truth unfolds, it turns out the image was not a revelation but a cleverly crafted prank that hints at an exciting new chapter in the lives of Ned and Moze.
The Speculation-Inducing Image: Is she Pregnant?
On January 29, 2024, Werkheiser shared a photo on his Instagram story featuring him and Lindsey Shaw, who portrayed Jennifer “Moze” Mosely, with Werkheiser’s hand resting on Shaw’s belly. The caption, “Little Ned 2024,” led fans to believe that the two former co-stars were expecting a child. Speculation ran rampant, with some enthusiasts even considering the possibility of a revival or spin-off chronicling the adventures of Ned and his friends in middle school.
The Jest Unveiled
Contrary to fans’ expectations, the photo was not an announcement of a pregnancy but a well-executed prank. Werkheiser and Shaw, through their podcast ‘Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide,’ revealed that the intention was to generate excitement for their upcoming project. The duo clarified that they remain good friends but are not romantically involved, putting to rest any speculations about a rekindled romance.
The Teaser and Its Revelation
The elaborate prank served as a teaser for the spin-off titled ‘Little Ned.’ The series will explore the adult lives of Ned and Moze, now married with a daughter named Little Ned. Paramount+ is slated to premiere the show in late 2024, comprising 10 episodes that promise to reintroduce familiar faces from middle school, along with new characters and challenges.
