Apple TV+ is jumping headfirst into even more animated waters, with WondLa, an adaptation of the bestselling book series The Search for WondLa by Tony DiTerlizzi. The series, which is set to premiere its first season at the end of the month, is headlined by Jeanine Mason (“Roswell, New Mexico”), Teri Hatcher, Brad Garrett (“Everybody Loves Raymond”), and Gary Anthony Williams (“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows”).
Here is the synopsis for the series:
Eva is a typical teen: curious, enthusiastic, spirited. The only difference … she’s being raised alone by a robot caretaker, Muthr, in a state-of-the-art underground bunker. On her 16th birthday, an attack on her sanctuary forces her onto the Earth’s surface, and it’s not what she expected. The planet is inhabited by aliens, covered with otherworldly fauna, and there are no other humans to be found. In fact, it’s no longer called Earth — it’s called Orbona. Otto, a lovable giant waterbear with whom Eva shares telepathic powers, Rovender, a cantankerous alien with a troubled past, and Muthr join Eva as she embarks on a quest to find humans, her home and her true destiny.
Here is the trailer for the series:
The seven-episode first season of WondLa is set to launch globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, June 28.
