Adorable Animated Series from Al Roker "Weather Hunters", Starring Sheryl Lee Ralph, Holly Robinson Peete and LeVar Burton, Coming Soon!

This is possibly the cutest cartoon ever! Beloved Meterologist, Al Roker, has developed an adorable, and educational, animated series called "Weather Hunters" and it's everything!

A press release from PBS Kids stated “We’re so excited to be working with Al Roker and his team to bring important weather and Earth science lessons to kids through WEATHER HUNTERS,” said Sara DeWitt, Senior Vice President and General Manager, PBS KIDS. “We know that parents and kids are looking for content about weather and climate; this show is fresh, funny and forward-thinking, and will help kids understand how weather affects their lives every day.”

"Weather Hunters has been a labor of love and a passion project for more than a decade and I cannot think of a better partner than PBS KIDS to make this dream come true," said Al Roker. “When it comes to WEATHER HUNTERS, I predict increasing animation with downpours of family friendly storytelling and a rising understanding of weather and climate on your local PBS station, pbskids.org, and the PBS KIDS Video and Games apps.

The series is designed to support kids’ understanding of weather through adventure and comedy. The main character is 8-year-old Lily Hunter, a weather detective who shares her investigations with her family, including dad Al Hunter, voiced by Roker. The series will help further young viewers’ interest and knowledge of Earth science and meteorology, both key building blocks of climate education.

Roker, an Emmy-Award winning show host, is joined by legendary actors Sheryl Lee Ralph, LeVar Burton and Holly Robinson Peete. Tandi Fomukong, Kapri Ladd and Lorenzo Ross will also voice characters in the series, and Yvette Nicole Brown sings the theme song.

“Weather Hunters” is produced by Al Roker Entertainment and Dete Meserve’s Silver Creek Falls Entertainment, Inc. Dete Meserve is the showrunner and executive produces alongside Carin Greenberg, John Semper Jr. and Lisa Tucker. 

The series is set to premiere on PBS Kids on July 7, 2025!
