Discover Family is inviting viewers to join a wild animal-focused adventure in its latest series, which introduces four friends who may look like ordinary second graders, but are secretly the heroic Petronix Defenders. With their secret identities, the super-powered kids are always ready to save wild animals in danger, any where in the world, at any time.
Petronix Defenders premieres Saturday, October 15 at 8:30 a.m. / 7:30 C, with new episodes premiering Saturdays at 9 a.m. / 8 C.
Synopsis: Along with their high-tech pets, the Petronix Defenders (Emma, Jia, Tim and Matt) use their supercharged backpacks to defend animals — after all, animal problems sometimes need animal solutions. Receiving special alerts from around the globe about an animal requiring assistance — from a polar bear cub needing a boost in the Arctic, to a struggling blue whale in Bali — these superheroes are up for any mission! The Petronix Defenders not only care about animals, but also about the environment in which they live in.
In the series premiere, the Petronix Defenders are hot on the tracks of a lost and wounded cheetah cubs, in need of being reunited with their cheetah family. Emma leads the mission, enlisting the help of her tech pet, Kitt-10. But when Kitt-10 gets jealous of Emma’s attention towards the cubs, Matt steps in to help her get Kitt-10 and the lost cub back.
Petronix Defenders airs on Discovery Family and is produced by Method Animation (part of Mediawan Kids & Family) and will premiere in Spanish on Discovery Familia on Saturday, November 5 at 9 a.m. ET.
