How to Rock is an American teen sitcom that ran on Nickelodeon from February 4[2] to December 8, 2012.[3] It stars singer Cymphonique Miller, who previously sang the theme song for Nickelodeon's Winx Club.[4] The series is based on the 2011 book, How to Rock Braces and Glasses by Meg Haston published by Little, Brown Books For Young Readers and Alloy Entertainment.[5] The series was officially green-lit on May 23, 2011, with a 20-episode production order, later increased to 26.[6] Two of the ordered episodes were merged into a special episode, so 25 episodes actually aired.[1][7] The series began filming in August 2011. It is the first television sitcom to be produced by Alloy Entertainment.[8]

It was confirmed by the series showrunner David M. Israel on August 26, 2012, that How to Rock would not be returning for a second season.[9]
