“Spirit Rangers” - Season 1

Explore the beauty of North America and all the land has to offer with the new computer-animated preschool series “Spirit Rangers,” premiering Monday, Oct. 10, on Netflix. Inspired by stories from Indigenous tribes and the incredible, natural landscapes of America’s national parks, this fantasy-adventure series for youngsters follows siblings Kodi (voiced by new talent Wacinyeya Iwasaka Yracheta), Summer (newcomer Isis Celilo Rogers) and Eddy (Talon Proc Alford, “Spidey and His Amazing Friends”) of the Chumash and Cowlitz Tribes, who have a shared secret: they’re Spirit Rangers. Able to transform into their respective animal spirits to help protect the national park they call home, the kids take on all kinds of challenges, from helping a lost thunderbird to waking up a sleepy sun. Celebrating community, nature and the rich heritage of Native American storytelling, the series is created by Santa Ynez Chumash tribal member Karissa Valencia (“Vampirina”) and is executive produced by Valencia and Chris Nee (“Doc McStuffins”). The “Spirit Rangers” voice cast also features Jaylan Evans (“Power Book III: Raising Kanan”), Devery Jacobs (“Reservation Dogs”), Cree Summer (“Atlantis: The Lost Empire,” 2001), Wes Studi (“Penny Dreadful”), Tantoo Cardinal (“Stumptown”), Shaun Taylor-Corbett (“Hi-5”), Nyla Rose (“AEW Dynamite”) and new actors Kimberly Guerrero and John Timothy.
