The second season of “Unicorn Academy” kicks off with a 44-minute special followed by nine 22-minute episodes that will spark a whole summer’s worth of adventures. Filled with exciting new escapades, feel-good themes, *and* a new toy line, “Unicorn Academy” is here to make the ordinary extraordinary this summer.

Whether you and your kids are already fans of the beloved characters or are new to the series, there’s so much to love about “Unicorn Academy: Chapter Two.”

Ride along on thrilling new on-screen adventures

In the magical world of Unicorn Island™, free-spirited 14-year-old Sophia Mendoza and her fellow teens-turned-Unicorn Riders attend the enchanted boarding school known as Unicorn Academy. Here, every student forms a special bond with a unicorn and works together to protect the island’s magic.

Chapter Two takes the adventure to fantastical new heights (literally!) when the Academy hosts a masquerade ball in honor of the rare Fairy Moon. Sophia and her unicorn companion, Wildstar, embark on a magical quest to find the shooting stars of the Unicorn Constellation, all in a bid to bring back Sophia’s father. But it’s not all smooth soaring. With challenges from her peers and a mysterious stranger racing to find the stars first, there’s no shortage of excitement and inspiration to fuel imaginations long after the credits roll. These celestial escapades make for something truly extraordinary, adding an extra sprinkle of stardust to an already dazzling adventure.

Along the way, Sophia discovers the true meaning of friendships and discovers a lot about herself, adding even more fun and heart to the Unicorn Riders’ epic adventures.

Discover true friendships and shared experiences

One thing we adore about “Unicorn Academy” is its ability to subtly deliver powerful themes—like the journey to self-discovery. Being a kid is tough, especially when it comes to figuring out your strengths, likes and dislikes, balancing family and schoolwork, and navigating friendships. As parents, we empathize with our kids and try to guide them as best we can. Watching the students at Unicorn Academy grapple with the everyday challenges of being teenagers, while embarking on a journey to uncover their potential, feels so relatable.

Chapter Two offers something extraordinary for parents, too, by sparking meaningful conversations with kids about growing up. It’s a fun way to bond over shared experiences and lessons learned. Plus, seeing our kids light up as they relate to the characters’ adventures is just pure magic. From a parent’s perspective, “Unicorn Academy” opens doors to connecting with kids on their level—and that’s the most magical feeling of all.

Make playtime even more enchanting

The cherry on top of this delightful “Unicorn Academy” sundae is the new toy line launching alongside Chapter Two. With magical features the toys allow them to immerse themselves in the show’s universe and embark on their own adventure-fantasies. Adding an extra sparkle of excitement to playtime, the possibilities for exploration and creativity become truly endless.
