Apple TV+ has just released the trailer for season two of “Harriet the Spy,” the animated series based on the iconic children’s novel. This comes as exciting news for fans of the series, who have been eagerly anticipating the next season of the show. The series stars Beanie Feldstein as Harriet, an adventurous 11-year-old girl, and Jane Lynch as Ole Golly, Harriet’s larger-than-life, no-nonsense nanny.
“Harriet the Spy” follows Harriet’s coming-of-age adventures as she navigates growing up and celebrating the gift of today. More than anything, Harriet wants to be a writer, and in order to be a good writer, she knows she’ll need to know everything. And to know everything means she’ll need to spy on everyone! This season, viewers will get to follow Harriet as she faces new challenges and adventures, such as letting go and growing up.
Joining Feldstein and Lynch, the series features Kimberly Brooks and Charlie Schlatter as Janie and Sport, Harriet’s best friends.

The show has a talented cast, making it a must-watch for fans of animation and coming-of-age stories.
“Harriet the Spy” is based on the book by Louise Fitzhugh and is produced by The Jim Henson Company. The series is written and executive produced by Will McRobb, with Sidney Clifton as producer. Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford executive produce on behalf of The Jim Henson Company, with John W. Hyde, Nancy Steingard, Wendy Moss-Klein, and Terissa Kelton also serving as executive producers. This series is definitely in good hands, and fans of the book can expect a faithful adaptation of the beloved story.
