Apple TV+ Returns to ‘Shape Island’ with Season 2 Set for August Debut

Today, Apple TV+ announced Season 2 of its stop-motion animated series Shape Island will debut globally on August 29. Based on the internationally bestselling Shapes picture book trilogy by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, the second season is set to return with more imaginative adventures for kids and families.

The Children’s & Family Emmy Award-winning series from Apple TV+ takes place on a charming island, where viewers join serious Square, intrepid Circle and tricky Triangle as they dig up some fun, search for answers and build on their friendship — all while learning how to navigate each other’s differences. Shape Island shows kids that ‘friendship can take many shapes.’

Season 2 features returning voice stars Yvette Nicole Brown (Frog and Toad) as the narrator, Harvey Guillén (Puss In Boots: The Last Wish) as Square, Scott Adsit (Big Hero 6) as Triangle and Gideon Adlon (Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earth) as Circle.

Shape Island was co-created by book authors Barnett and Klassen, who serve as executive producers. Barnett was recently appointed the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature by the Library of Congress. Kelli Bixler and Drew Hodges (Tumble Leaf) from the Emmy Award-winning studio Bix Pix Entertainment, also serve as executive producers. Ryan Pequin serves as co-executive producer and head writer.
