SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(NASDAQ: AMZN)— Amazon today announced its brand-new Amazon Original Kids Series, Dino Dana, is scheduled to premiere on Friday, May 26 on Prime Video in the US and UK. A follow-up to the 2015 Emmy award-winning series Dino Dan: Trek’s Adventures, Dino Dana is a preschool program that takes viewers on a whole new level of dinosaur encounters. Combining live-action with CGI animation, the series features 11 new prehistoric creatures and, for the first time, two sisters. After a chance encounter with Trek and his Dino Field Guide, Dana (Michela Luci), a “paleontologist in training,” begins to see dinosaurs all around her, leading to plenty of action and adventure. Every episode shares interesting dinosaur facts and applies them to kid-relatable experiences. Created by J.J. Johnson (Dino Dan, Annedroids), the series is executive produced by Sinking Ship partners Johnson, Blair Powers and Christin Simms with animation executive produced by Matthew J.R. Bishop.
“We’re thrilled to be collaborating yet again with the very talented team at Sinking Ship on Dino Dana,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at Amazon Studios. “We look forward to introducing this playfully imaginative and substantive kids show to our Prime Video customers in the US and UK.”
“Dino Dana continues our mission of presenting our audience with a range of dynamic female lead characters,” says J.J. Johnson, Partner and Executive Producer at Sinking Ship Entertainment. “Perpetual thanks to our collaborators at Amazon who continually encourage us to push boundaries and tell stories that will resonate with all kids.”
Dino Dana will be part of Prime Video’s growing line-up of award-winning and critically-acclaimed Originals for kids and families which already includes Sinking Ship Entertainment’s Emmy-nominated series Annedroids and Bookaboo. Prime members will be able to stream the series using the Amazon Prime Video app for compatible TVs, connected devices, including Amazon Fire TV and mobile devices, or online at www.amazon.com/kidsoriginals, at no additional cost to their membership. Members can also download select titles to mobile devices for offline viewing.
