‘Stillwater’ Sets Season 5 Release Date At Apple TV; First-Look Photos

Relax and take a deep breath. Apple TV has set Friday, August 21 for the Season 5 premiere of the Peabody and Daytime Emmy-winning animated kids and family series Stillwater. The new season will launch with all five episodes.

Based on Jon J Muth’s bestselling Scholastic “Zen” book series, Stillwater follows a wise panda who teaches three young siblings about the world and each other. The series centers on siblings Karl (Judah Mackey), Addy (Eva Ariel Binder) and Michael (Tucker Chandler), who encounter everyday challenges – big and small – which sometimes feel insurmountable. Fortunately for these three, they have Stillwater (James Sie), a wise panda, as their next-door neighbor. Through his example, stories and gentle humor, Stillwater teaches the children the concept of mindfulness, while offering them a deeper understanding of their feelings as well as tools that help them face their own day-to-day challenges.

Stillwater is produced through Apple TV’s changemakers initiative in collaboration with awareness and intention expert Mallika Chopra, author of Buddha and the Rose and the Just Be series for kids.

Gaumont and Scholastic Entertainment produce with Sidonie Dumas; Nicolas Atlan; Terry Kalagian; Iole Lucchese; Caitlin Friedman; Jef Kaminsky; Jun Falkenstein; and Rob Hoegee serving as executive producers.
