Apple TV+ today revealed the trailer for the second season of Emmy Award-winning Jane, which will consist of five episodes. Jane Season 2 premieres globally on Friday, April 19, 2024.
The mission-driven series for kids and families is inspired by the work of world-renowned ethologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace. It is from Emmy Award winner J.J. Johnson (Dino Dana, Endlings, Ghostwriter), Sinking Ship Entertainment, and the Jane Goodall Institute.
Ava Louise Murchison (Reacher) stars as Jane Garcia, a nine-year-old budding environmentalist on a quest to save endangered animals. Using her powerful imagination, Jane takes her best friends David, played by Mason Blomberg (Shameless), and Greybeard the chimpanzee on epic adventures to help protect wild animals all around the world.
Jane goes on these adventures because, according to her idol, Dr. Jane Goodall: “Only if we understand will we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help can they be saved.”
“I believe in the value and importance of a series like ‘Jane’ to inspire children and their families. Apple TV+ and Sinking Ship Entertainment’s continued commitment to green storytelling ensures that more young people are encouraged to take action to save their world,” said Dr. Goodall.
Jane marks the second Apple Original series produced by Sinking Ship Entertainment, joining the acclaimed Daytime Emmy Award-winning series Ghostwriter.
From Sinking Ship Entertainment, Jane Season 2 is a live-action/CGI blended series created by company partner J.J. Johnson, who executive produced alongside Christin Simms, Blair Powers, Matt Bishop, and the Jane Goodall Institute’s Andria Teather.
The series recently won a Children’s and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Visual Effects for a Live Action Program and was recognized by the Annual Environmental Media Association Awards in the Children’s Television category.
