“Get Ready, Eva 9 Fans — WondLa Season 2 Is Bringing the Heat This April!”
Get ready to update your watchlist and your existential crisis, because Apple TV+ just dropped the trailer for Season 2 of WondLa — and things are getting delightfully weird (again). Coming in hot on April 25, the animated saga is back with more twists, revelations, and enough sci-fi flavor to make even your Alexa nervous.
For the uninitiated: WondLa is based on the beloved New York Times bestselling trilogy The Search for WondLa by Tony DiTerlizzi — who just so happens to be executive producing this intergalactic adventure alongside animation legend Bobs Gannaway (Lilo & Stitch: The Series, anyone?). Skydance Animation and Apple TV+ are teaming up once again to bring us this visually stunning, emotionally rich, and sneakily deep series that isn’t just for kids (trust us, adults get equally hooked).
So, What’s the Deal With WondLa?
At the center of this gorgeously animated epic is Eva Nine, a 16-year-old who was raised in isolation and has now stepped out into a futuristic world that’s equal parts utopia and dystopia. After Season 1’s “wait, WHAT?!” cliffhanger, Eva is back — and she’s on the move, searching for answers about her past, her purpose, and the strange world she’s trying to call home.
But surprise! Answers just bring more questions (because of course they do). In this new chapter, Eva’s personal journey becomes a universal one. She finds herself hunted by a mysterious force convinced that she holds the key to something… well, massive. Bigger-than-life revelations? Check. Emotional gut-punches? Oh, definitely. Killer robot drama and glowing alien forests? Absolutely.
A Voice Cast That’s Out of This World
If the plot alone doesn’t pull you in, the voice cast will. WondLa Season 2 brings back Jeanine Mason (Roswell, New Mexico) as Eva Nine, Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond) as the lovable (and slightly sarcastic) Otto, and Gary Anthony Williams as Rovender. Fan-favorite Alan Tudyk returns as the enigmatic Cadmus Pryde, and Teri Hatcher is back too, voicing Eva’s new caretaker.
Oh, and did we mention new characters? John Kim (Cruel Intentions) joins the cast as Hailey, along with Ana Villafañe (Castro’s Daughter) as Eva 8. Clone drama? Yes please.
Animation Meets Existentialism (With Lasers)
One of WondLa’s biggest strengths is how it wraps big questions — about identity, belonging, humanity — into a high-octane, gorgeously designed sci-fi adventure. It’s like Blade Runner and Wall-E had an animated baby that grew up reading The Little Prince.
Behind the scenes, this season’s seven half-hour episodes are executive produced by a dream team including DiTerlizzi, Gannaway, and Skydance heavy-hitters like John Lasseter, David Ellison, and Dana Goldberg. Translation: expect polish, power, and plot twists that hit like asteroid showers.
Apple + Skydance = Animation Gold
This isn’t the first time Apple TV+ and Skydance Animation have teamed up — remember Luck? Their creative chemistry is clear, and WondLa is shaping up to be one of their most ambitious and beloved projects yet. With cinematic storytelling, layered characters, and a growing fanbase hungry for more Eva Nine, the franchise is carving out its own legendary status.
TL;DR? If you haven’t boarded the WondLa spaceship yet, now’s the time. With Season 2 set to blast off April 25, it’s the perfect moment to catch up, geek out, and maybe question the nature of reality (in the fun, animated way).
So strap in. Eva Nine is back. And she’s bringing answers—along with a whole lot of new mysteries.
