Apple TV+ Orders Kids’ Series Inspired by Dr. Jane Goodall

Apple TV+ is going straight to series with Jane, a new mission-driven show for kids and families from J.J. Johnson, Sinking Ship Entertainment and the Jane Goodall Institute.

The live action/CGI blended series centers on Jane Garcia, a 10-year-old girl with an active imagination. Through pretend play, Jane and her trusty teammates work to protect an endangered animal in each episode.

“Television programs that enrich and inspire, as well as entertain, can give children hope and motivate them and their families,” said Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE and founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and a UN Messenger of Peace. “That’s why I’m thrilled that Apple TV+ and Sinking Ship Entertainment will work with the Jane Goodall Institute to develop a new children’s program that will do just that.”
