Apple TV+ announces second season for beloved kids series ‘Eva the Owlet’

A second season of beloved animated kids and family series “Eva the Owlet” is coming to Apple TV+ January 24, 2025.
Apple TV+ on Wednesday announced a second season for the beloved animated kids and family series “Eva the Owlet,” based on the bestselling Scholastic book series “Owl Diaries” by award-winning author Rebecca Elliott, to premiere on Friday, January 24, 2025.
Celebrated by fans around the world, “Eva the Owlet” has been hailed as “spunky,” “captivating” and “a real hoot.” The series stars Eva, a creative, cheeky owlet who lives next door to her best friend Lucy in the woodland world of Treetopington. With big ideas and an even bigger personality, Eva goes on high-flying adventures, expressing herself in her diary along the way! Season two takes viewers through a night in the life of Eva, a spunky and enthusiastic owlet who dreams big. Whether she’s planning a backyard campout with her friends or saving the town’s Spring Acorn Roll from hungry squirrels, Eva tackles her goals with conviction and flair, expressing herself in her journal along the way.
In the upcoming holiday special titled “Eva’s Moon Wish,” as Treetopington celebrates a special holiday, Eva helps a lost oriole look for his family — and learns the true meaning of community.
Since first being published, “Owl Diaries” now has eight foreign language translations and 12 million copies in print. Produced by award-winning Scholastic Entertainment (“Clifford the Big Red Dog,” “Goosebumps,” “The Magic School Bus”) with production services and 4K animation by Emmy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated studio Brown Bag Films (“Doc McStuffins,” “Vampirina,” “Octonauts”), “Eva the Owlet” also features original songs by critically acclaimed musician and singer-songwriter Fitz of Fitz and the Tantrums. Voice talent includes Vivienne Rutherford (“Eureka!,” “9-1-1: Lone Star”) as the titular character Eva, Jessica DiCicco (“The Loud House,” “Puppy Dog Pals”) as Eva’s mom, Dino Andrade (“Loud House,” “We Baby Bears”) as Eva’s dad, as well as Romy Fay (“Best Foot Forward”), Sascha Yurchak, Jon Olson (“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” “Pokemon: Detective Pikachu”), Evie Hsu (“Team Mekbots: Animal Rescue”), Sarah Vattano (“Uglies,” “Rise Up, Sing Out”), Pressly James Crosby (“General Hospital”) and Kenna Ramsey (“Rent”).
“Eva the Owlet” is executive produced by Scholastic Entertainment’s Peabody and Daytime Emmy Award-winning team, including Iole Lucchese (“Clifford the Big Red Dog”), Caitlin Friedman (“Stillwater”) and Jef Kaminsky (“Signs of Survival”). Cathal Gaffney and Darragh O’Connell of Brown Bag Films also serve as executive producers.

The late Dr. John F. Evans, a writing clinician, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach at Duke Integrative Medicine, and the Founder and Executive Director of Wellness & Writing Connections, LLC, served as the expressive writing expert on the series through Apple TV+’s changemakers initiative. The series was one of the last projects he worked on, hoping to inspire young viewers to write, to find their voices, and to believe in themselves.
