Stillwater Season 5 to Premiere on August 21
Today, Apple TV announced an all-new season five of the beloved, award-winning animated kids and family series Stillwater, premiering with five episodes on Friday, August 21, 2026.
Based on the bestselling Scholastic Zen book series by Jon J Muth, Stillwater follows a wise panda who teaches three young siblings about the world and each other. The series centers on siblings Karl (Judah Mackey), Addy (Eva Ariel Binder), and Michael (Tucker Chandler), who encounter everyday challenges — big and small — which sometimes feel insurmountable.
Fortunately for these three, they have Stillwater (James Sie), a wise panda, as their next-door neighbor. Through his example, stories, and gentle humor, Stillwater teaches the children the concept of mindfulness while offering them a deeper understanding of their feelings and tools to help them face their day-to-day challenges.
Stillwater is produced for Apple TV by Gaumont and Scholastic Entertainment.
Take a deep breath and embrace your inner peace by embarking on a fun adventure with the first four seasons of Stillwater available on Apple TV. Through breathing exercises, mindful moments, and simple everyday practices, this uplifting, Peabody and Daytime Emmy Award-winning series invites you and your family to discover your own zen through each episode.
Stillwater was produced through Apple TV’s changemakers initiative in collaboration with awareness and intention expert Mallika Chopra, author of Buddha and the Rose and the Just Be series for kids.
