From Creator J.J. Johnson (Dino Dan),
the new season of Annedroids, a series which garnered 10 Daytime
Emmy Award nominations and a Gold Parents’ Choice Award in 2016,
continues to inspire children to be curious and learn by showcasing
STEM curriculum
(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon today announced that the fourth season of
its Emmy-nominated, Gold Parents’ Choice Award-winning original
kids series, Annedroids, is scheduled to debut March 3 on
Prime Video in the US and UK. Created by multi Emmy Award-winning
producer/director J.J. Johnson (Dino Dan) and produced by Sinking
Ship Entertainment (Odd Squad), Annedroids is a live-action
adventure series that follows Anne, a young female scientist, and
her human friends, along with the android assistants she’s created,
as they make amazing scientific discoveries while undertaking the
biggest experiment of them all: growing up. Through trial and
error, the series spotlights how science, technology, engineering,
and math (STEM) can inspire children to do great things. In 2016,
Annedroids was nominated for 10 Emmys, tying Sesame Street for the
most nominations that year.
The fourth season of Annedroids returns with Anne
(Addison Holley, Wishenpoof) and her friends, Nick (Jadiel
Dowlin) and Shania (Adrianna Di Liello, Stage Fright), as they
embark on more adventures and experiments with their android
friends, including: Pal (voiced by Millie Davis, Odd
Squad), who is fascinated by everything and loves asking questions;
Eyes, whose ability to see things from all angles can get him into
trouble; and Hand, who’s strong and dependable but a little bit
clumsy; as well as Pidgely, a real pigeon who became a cy-bird when
Anne gave him some robotic upgrades; Fangs, a robotic dog that can
turn into a skunk, a porcupine and a snake; and Art, a former
cleaning robot who defected from working with evil robotics
scientist Ada at Magnus Tech.
The new season sheds light on the concept of a “modern day
family,” where the word “family” isn’t necessarily defined by blood
relation, but rather the people that are closest to you. In this
season, Anne, Nick and Shania will band together and use scientific
approaches to solve a myriad of problems, including getting lost in
the wilderness, dealing with a friend moving out of town, building
a robot for competition, and defending the junkyard from a hostile
takeover – which leads to an action-packed and epic season
finale!
“We’re excited to debut a fourth season of Annedroids and proud
of the notoriety and accolades this series has garnered within the
television industry,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming
at Amazon Studios. “Our customers have embraced its inspiring
characters and strong message of innovation and scientific
discovery.”
“In Annedroids our characters never fail, they just discover new
ways of doing things wrong until they get them right,” says J.J.
Johnson, series Creator and Executive Producer. “Expect grander
discoveries, surprising character revelations and an explosive
conclusion to Pal’s journey in this, our most ambitious season
yet.”
Annedroids has received a total of 11 Daytime Emmy nominations
with 10 of them from 2016, 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 Institute Science Film Festival 2014, a Gold
Parents’ Choice Award, 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.
Season three has an average customer rating of 4.8 stars. Here
