Genius Brands’ Llama Llama Sets Season Two Premiere Date

Season two of the Genius Brands animated preschool series Llama Llama is slated to launch on Netflix on November 15.

Based on the award-winning and best-selling book series by Anna Dewdney, Llama Llama is about childhood firsts and features the special connections between the lead character, Llama, his Mama and his grandparents. Jennifer Garner returns in the lead role as Mama Llama for the series’ second season.

Jane Startz (Ella Enchanted, Tuck Everlasting, The Indian In The Cupboard, The Magic School Bus series), Andy Heyward (Inspector Gadget, The Real Ghostbusters, Strawberry Shortcake, Madeline, Carmen Sandiego) and Reed Duncan are producing Llama Llama season two. Joe Purdy (Arthur, Hey Arnold!) serves as the head writer, while Disney alum Ruben Aquino (Frozen, The Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan) is the series’ art director.

Season one of Llama Llama, currently available on Netflix, debuted worldwide in 20 different languages on the platform in January 2018.

Garner commented: “Llama Llama is beloved in my home and has a special place in my heart. Working on this beautiful series has been an honor, and…it’s time to share season two! More fun and more heartwarming tales ahead for Mama Llama and her little Llama—I can’t wait for everyone to have a Llama Llama Day with season two, on Netflix!”

Andy Heyward, chairman and CEO of Genius Brands, added: “We are thrilled to share the delivery of season two of Llama Llama and the upcoming premiere in November, which was accomplished through the support of Netflix and our creative team. This is a major milestone that further reinforces both the success and longevity of a brand poised to become an evergreen property. We are leveraging the growing popularity of Llama Llama among both children and parents by accelerating our product and merchandising strategy with tier one retailers and manufacturers around the world, which, in turn, should help drive both revenue and enhanced profitability as these SKUs hit the market.”
