Apple TV+ confirms return date for award-winning animated series ‘Stillwater’

Stillwater is one of the highest-rated Apple TV+ shows for kids, and it has snatched quite a few awards since it premiered in 2020. And after a two-year hiatus since the end of last season, Apple has officially confirmed the show’s return date for season 4.

Stillwater returns for season 4 on August 1

For those unfamiliar, Stillwater is Apple’s gentle, mindfulness-focused animated series based on Jon J Muth’s bestselling Zen book collection.

The show follows three siblings, Karl, Addy, and Michael, as they navigate the ups and downs of childhood with the help of their unusually wise (and unusually calm) next-door neighbor: a panda named Stillwater.

Each episode mixes small, relatable childhood dilemmas with mindfulness lessons, breathing exercises, and moments of calm storytelling, something that’s helped the series pick up both a Peabody and a Daytime Emmy along the way.

Here’s Apple’s quick summary of the show:

Through breathing exercises, mindful moments, and simple everyday practices, this uplifting, Peabody and Daytime Emmy Award-winning series invites you and your family to discover your own Zen through each episode.

Stillwater has also been part of Apple’s “Changemakers” content initiative, with Mallika Chopra, author and mindfulness advocate, on board as a consulting producer.

Season 4 is set to continue with the same heartwarming formula, and if you want to catch up before the premiere, the first three seasons are streaming now on Apple TV+.

Apple TV+ is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like The StudioThe Morning ShowShrinking and Silo.
