"I want to know what happened to the humans." Apple TV has revealed the first official trailer for their new WondLa animated series, an adaptation of a bestselling trilogy of books originally titled "The Search for WondLa". Arriving for streaming on Apple TV+ in June. "No amount of training could prepare Eva for what she'd find beyond her bunker walls." Eva is a typical teen: curious, enthusiastic, and spirited. However, she's being raised alone by a robot caretaker, Muthr, in a state-of-the-art underground bunker. An attack on her sanctuary forces her onto the surface, and it's not what she expected. The planet is now inhabited by aliens, covered with otherworldly fauna, and there are no other humans to be found. Otto, a lovable giant waterbear with whom Eva shares telepathic powers, Rovender, a cantankerous alien with a troubled past, and Muthr join Eva as she embarks on a quest to find humans and learn her true destiny. With the voices of Jeanine Mason, Teri Hatcher, Brad Garrett, Gary Anthony Williams, Alan Tudyk, D.C. Douglas, Chiké Okonkwo. The epic trilogy premieres with an adventure-packed 7-episode first season this summer. Enjoy.
