Max today announced that its original series Mermicorno: Starfall will return for its highly anticipated second season, premiering this month on the streamer. The 2D-animated series has become a standout performer on Max, currently ranking #11 and holding a top 15 spot year-to-date in the Kids & Family genre.
All 13 episodes of Season 2, a collaboration between Atomic Cartoons (a Thunderbird Entertainment Company) and iconic global lifestyle brand, tokidoki, will drop on Max Thursday, May 15, promising even bigger adventures, deeper mysteries and a final battle that could change the ocean forever.
Synopsis: Following the emotional aftermath of the Lunar Eclipse, Astra and the Mermi-Crew are faced with new challenges as they search for the legendary Mermicorno Kingdom. Along the way, they uncover long-buried secrets, forge new friendships, and confront powerful enemies — including the rise of Dark Pearl. As friendships are tested and hidden powers awaken, the fate of their world hangs in the balance.
In the new season, Astra struggles to master her evolving powers while navigating a growing conflict that threatens everything she loves. Joined by Gwen, Kameko, Squishella, and the rest of the crew, Astra must face hard truths, unlock ancient mysteries, and lead a risky mission to save their world. With unexpected revelations, magical mayhem, and heart-pounding battles ahead, the Mermicornos will discover that true strength comes from believing in themselves — and in each other.
