From Creator J.J. Johnson (Dino Dan), the new season
of Annedroids, which recently garnered 10 Daytime Emmy
nominations, continues the journey of Anne and her friends as they
inspire children—through trial and error—to identify problems, ask
questions, and experiment
SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced that the third season of its
Emmy-nominated original kids series Annedroids
is scheduled to debut on June 24 on Prime Video in the US. Created by
Emmy Award-winning producer/director J.J.
Johnson (Dino Dan) and Sinking
Ship Entertainment (Odd Squad), 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 third season of Annedroids brings back Anne (Addison
Holley, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood), and her friends
Nick (Jadiel
Dowlin) and Shania (Adrianna
Di Liello, Stage Fright). The trio embarks on more
adventures and experiments with their android friend, Pal (voiced by Millie
Davis, Orphan Black) who’s more interested than ever to
become a real kid. This season finds Nick banned from the junkyard by
his mom, Anne upgrading junkyard security, and Shania trying her best to
help things return to normal. New friends and familiar faces join them
this season, including Zack (Jonny
Gray, Max and Shred), who helps Anne build a new
dogdroid named Fangs, and Charlie (Devyn
Nekoda, Backstage) who mistakes Pal for a real kid and
takes Pal to the mall.
“We’re excited to debut a third season of Annedroids and are
thrilled about the series’ recent recognition with the Television
Academy,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at Amazon
Studios. “Our customers have embraced Anne and her tenacity to innovate
through trial and error, a powerful message to kids.”
“Annedroids continues to defy stereotypes and expectations,” said
J.J. Johnson, series Creator and Executive Producer. “We’re humbled by
the critical acclaim the show has received and excited to present our
fans with an epic third season of more action, more drama and more
robotic mayhem.”
Annedroids recently received 10 Daytime Emmy nominations,
including Outstanding Children’s Series, Outstanding Performer in a
Children’s or Pre-School Children’s Series and Outstanding Directing in
a Children’s or Pre-School Children’s Series. The series also garnered
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.
