Glitch Techs is one of the most diverse series ever produced by Nickelodeon Animation. The series features a strong female Muslim recurring character, Zahra, who provides inspiration to young Muslim audiences who finally see themselves reflected in an animated character. With so many young children at home throughout the pandemic, Glitch Techs is a fun, action-packed, inclusive, family-friendly show for the entire family.

“When you see Zahra, you don’t think of her as “the Muslim one”, you think of her as the sarcastic one, the cool one - who happens to be Muslim. And that is the goal”

— ZEHRA FAZAL

Zehra+Fazal

Glitch Techs features a diverse cast, including a Muslim-American female character, Zahra. When developing Glitch Techs, Dan Milano and Eric Robles wanted characters that represented the audience it was meant for, so someone can see themselves onscreen.

“True growth and learning happens when you’re surrounded by different perspectives. It’s so important to me to see people of my background not made foreign. We’re American.”
