Overview

• Buffalo Toronto Public Media is reviving the series in a co-production with Embassy Row.
• The four-episode short-form run premieres Saturday, Oct. 4 at 10 a.m. ET on Sony’s KidZuko YouTube channel and on ReadingRainbow.org, and it will not air on PBS.
• Mychal Threets, a librarian and social-media literacy advocate known as Mychal the Librarian, serves as the new host.
• A trailer teases guests and narrators including Rylee Arnold, Ezra Sosa, Bellen Woodard, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jamie Chung, Gabrielle Union, Adam DeVine, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen.
• Episodes will be paired with companion vertical videos and hands-on projects such as postcards and sidewalk libraries, reflecting a broader public-media pivot to digital distribution following federal funding cuts this year.
