Miles_From_Tomorrowland_logoSeason two of Disney Junior’s Emmy-nominated intergalactic animated series “Miles from Tomorrowland” premieres MONDAY, JUNE 20 on Disney Channel (9:00 a.m. EDT) and will be available on the Disney Junior App beginning Monday, June 13. The series, which boasts a pedigree of consultants from NASA, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, Google and the Space Tourism Society, charts the outer space missions of young adventurer Miles Callisto and his family as they work together to help connect the galaxy on behalf of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.

The new season finds Miles utilizing his newfound Galactech power mode, which enhances the Callistos’ vehicles, gadgets and space suits, allowing Miles to take on more daring missions with his supercharged Blastboard and robo-ostrich best friend Merc. With these augmented abilities, Miles must take the lead in a variety of challenging adventures including exploring different planets, encountering new aliens and venturing out even further into the universe.

The show, which incorporates unique space and science facts into each storyline, has been applauded by esteemed individuals across STEM fields for its role in encouraging kids to further explore their natural curiosity in science, space and technology. Ann Merchant, deputy executive director of Communications at the National Academy of Science says, “We hear over and over again from numerous scientists and engineers about the impact that characters and stories from film and television had on them as children. We think that twenty years from now, ‘Miles from Tomorrowland’ will be cited as that early source of inspiration for future budding scientists.”
