From creator J.J. Johnson (Dino Dan),
the new season of the Emmy-nominated live-action adventure features
the voice of Geena Davis (Grey’s Anatomy)
Children’s series celebrates STEM curriculum
through Anne and her friends and inspires children—through trial
and error—to identify problems, ask questions, and experiment
(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced that the second season of
its Emmy-nominated original kids series Annedroids is now
available for Amazon Prime members in the US and UK. Created by
Emmy Award-winning producer/director J.J. Johnson (Dino Dan) and
Sinking Ship Entertainment (Odd Squad), the new season features the
voice of Geena Davis (Grey’s Anatomy) and is aimed at children aged
six through 11. Annedroids is a live-action adventure series about
Anne, a young female scientist, her human friends and the android
assistants she’s created, and the amazing scientific discoveries
they make while undertaking the biggest experiment of them all:
growing up. The series spotlights, through trial and error, how
science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) can inspire
children to do great things.
The second season of Annedroids finds Anne (Addison Holley,
Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood) and friends back in the junkyard for
more experiments, taking their adventures to the next level. As
Nick (Jadiel Dowlin) and Shania (Adrianna Di Liello, Stage Fright)
return to school after spending their summer in the junkyard, Anne
finds new ways to stay in touch using Pidgely, a pigeon with a
broken wing she equips with a rocket suit. Pal (voiced by Millie
Davis, Orphan Black) ventures outside the junkyard and expresses a
desire to be a real kid. Also this season, a mysterious robotics
scientist offers Anne the opportunity of a lifetime, forcing Anne
to make some tough decisions about her friends, family and future.
Along the way, the kids use DNA to track a lost dog, confront
dinosaurs in nightmares, and send the androids to space.
“After seeing such a positive response from our customers, we’re
thrilled to debut another season of Annedroids,” said Tara
Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at Amazon Studios. “Anne
continues to be a remarkable role model, for boys and girls alike.
While her big ideas and desire to learn may lead her to make
mistakes, through trial and error, she’s constantly making unusual
connections and innovating.”
“There’s a reason Common Sense Media ranked Anne from Annedroids
as one of their top 10 best role models for kids: she loves
knowledge, fosters curiosity in her friends and delights at solving
problems,” said J.J. Johnson, series Creator and Executive
Producer. “In season two, Anne will have a lot of new problems to
solve including intruders to the junkyard, broken pigeons, escaped
dinosaurs and how to get an android into space. Or as Anne would
say ‘just another day in the junkyard.’”
Annedroids recently received a Daytime Emmy nomination for
Outstanding Directing in a Children’s or Pre-School Children’s
Series as well as the Grand Prize for Best Production, All
Categories at the Youth Media Alliance Awards of Excellence.
Additionally, the series received the IPST Education Award at The
Goethe Institut Science Film Festival 2014, a Parents’ Choice
Foundation’s Silver Honor, and three Young Artist Awards. Common
Sense Media also named Anne’s character a top 10 best role model in
children’s TV.
