The Emmy Award-winning kids and family series ‘Jane’ will return for a second season on April 19 on Apple TV+, which yesterday unveiled the trailer

The mission-driven series for kids and families is inspired by the work of world-renowned ethologist and conservationist, Dr. Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and a United Nations Messenger of Peace.

From Emmy Award winner J.J. Johnson (‘Dino Dana’, ‘Endlings’, ‘Ghostwriter’), Sinking Ship Entertainment and the Jane Goodall Institute, the new five-episode season of ‘Jane’ will premiere globally later this month, the streamer said in a media statement.

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 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,” said Dr. Goodall, adding, “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.”
