In addition to its emotional well-being focus, Season 55 will feature celebrity appearances from stars like Michael B. Jordan, Noah Kahan, and Jonathan Van Ness, adding an extra layer of excitement for both young viewers and adults alike. Another exciting addition is the introduction of “Mecha Builders,” a series of animated STEM-themed shorts designed to spark curiosity and learning in children.
