Club 57 is a fun TV show from Italy and the United States. It was made by Rainbow SpA and Nickelodeon. Both companies are part of ViacomCBS. Catharina Ledoboer created the series. Iginio Straffi and Pierluigi Gazzolo were the producers.
The show first aired in Italy on Rai Gulp on April 15, 2019. It then came to Nickelodeon Latin America on May 6, 2019. The story is about Eva (Evaluna Montaner), a student from the year 2019. She accidentally travels back to 1957 with her brother Ruben (Sebastián Silva). Eva meets a cool Italian boy named JJ (Riccardo Frascari) and falls in love. She decides to stay in the past with him.
The idea for Club 57 came after Iginio Straffi met with other Nickelodeon creators. Straffi wanted to make another show with Nickelodeon after Winx Club. He saw an early version of Club 57 that was filmed in Miami in 2016. Straffi liked the idea. He decided that the main male character, JJ, should be Italian. Catharina Ledoboer worked closely with the Italian team. This helped make the show great for European viewers. Many people who worked on Winx Club also helped make Club 57. This included writers and designers.
The first 60 episodes were filmed over six months. They started in Apulia, Italy, in September 2018. Then, they moved to Miami, Florida. The actors watched movies from the 1950s to learn about that time. Riccardo Frascari, who is Italian, learned Spanish for his role as JJ. Evaluna Montaner's father, Ricardo Montaner, wrote the music. Her brothers, Mau and Ricky Montaner, and her fiancé, Camilo Echeverry, also helped. Club 57 was very popular when it first aired. It was the top show on Telefe in May 2019.
In October 2019, Rainbow SpA said that a second season was being made.

What is Club 57 About?
Eva (Evaluna Montaner) and Ruben (Sebastián Silva) are siblings from the year 2019. They find an old time machine in their grandfather's lab. They accidentally send themselves back to 1957. At first, they try to blend in and not be noticed.
Eva soon falls for an Italian boy named JJ. He works as a lighting person for a dance show called Club 57. Eva also becomes friends with Amelia (Isabella Castillo), the main dancer. But JJ's ex-girlfriend, Vero (Carolina Mestrovic), gets mad at Eva. Eva doesn't want to leave JJ, so she decides to stay in the past. Meanwhile, Ruben starts selling his future technology to his grandfather (Andrés Mercado). In 1957, his grandfather is only in his twenties!
Eva and Ruben's actions in 1957 get the attention of the Guardians of Time. These guardians watch over the universe's timeline. They send a new guardian named Aurek (Martín Barba) and his robot helper, Droide (Jonathan Quintana). Their job is to catch Eva and Ruben. They need to stop them from changing the past.
Eva and Ruben manage to escape. They eventually return to 2019. But they find that their actions in the past have changed their present. Their parents are no longer together.
