Fred (often stylized as FЯED) is a media franchise based on the web series of the same name created by Lucas Cruikshank and Brian Robbins.[1] The films are produced by Derf Films, Varsity Pictures, The Collective and Nickelodeon.

Similar to the web series, the franchise follows a high-pitched, loud mouthed individual known as Fred Figglehorn and the misadventures he goes on in the real world while discovering various life lessons. When the first film was in production, various changes were made to the original series, most notably Fred's age being changed from a 6-year-old child to a teenager.
