From creator JJ Johnson (Dino Dan), Amazon’s first live-action adventure series for children celebrates lifelong learning and creativity
The first seven episodes are now available for unlimited streaming on Prime Instant Video

LONDON – 25th July 2014 - Amazon today announced its third original kids series, Annedroids, is now available for unlimited streaming on Prime Instant Video at no additional cost to Prime members. Created by Emmy-nominated JJ Johnson (Dino Dan) and Sinking Ship Entertainment, and aimed at children aged four through seven, Annedroids is a live-action adventure series about “Anne,”  a young female scientist, her human friends and their android assistants, and the amazing scientific discoveries they make while undertaking the biggest experiment of them all: growing up. The series spotlights, through trial and error, how science, technology, engineering, the arts and math (STEAM) can inspire children to do great things.

Annedroids stars Addison Holley (Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood) as “Anne,” Adrianna Di Liello (Stage Fright) as her friend “Shania,” and Jadiel Dowlin as “Nick.” The series also features vocal talent from Millie Davis (Orphan Black) as “Pal.”

“It’s a pleasure to be working with Amazon on a series that organically showcases the STEAM curriculum by way of a relatable girl,” said creator and executive producer JJ Johnson. “With ‘Anne’ at the helm of the show, there’s nothing she likes more than getting her hands dirty to make things, break things apart to see how they work and mixing things together to see what happens. The series is entertaining, enlightening and educational that the entire family will enjoy.”

“JJ has a unique way of infusing rich characters and storylines into thought-provoking children’s programming,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids’ Programming at Amazon Studios. “Sinking Ship is constantly pushing themselves to do great work and pushing the production values on kids programming to a whole new level. Anne builds on this goal for them and I believe this is their most ambitious production to date. We’re excited be collaborating with an accomplished creator and studio whose proven track record in the space is sure to leave a positive impact on a new generation of kids.”

Amazon recently launched its two first kids series, Tumble Leaf which won the 2014 Annecy International Animated Film Festival award and Creative Galaxy from acclaimed creator Angela Santomero. Both series are available for unlimited streaming in Prime Instant Video. Tumble Leaf features a curious blue fox named “Fig” and his best friend “Stick” on playful adventures. Creative Galaxy is an interactive art adventure series for preschoolers following “Arty” and “Epiphany” as they travel around the galaxy to solve problems with art, inspiring creative thinking through crafts, music and dance.

Starting today, Prime members have unlimited streaming access to the first seven episodes of Annedroids, at no additional cost to their membership.
