Plot
In each mission-driven episode, ten-year-old Jane Garcia and her loyal companions fight to save an endangered species. To aid in the protection of wild creatures worldwide, Jane sends her two closest companions, the chimpanzees David and Greybeard, on fantastical excursions using her vivid imagination.
The new season 2 trailer has Jane and her two buddies exploring the ocean below in a submarine. Her enthusiasm shines through as she enthusiastically shows her pals the many aquatic species. Saving the planet by herself must be a huge delight for Jane. To top it all off, she is making every effort to explain her goal to her mother.
The makers give viewers a little hint at the conclusion by saying the audience will witness some new experiences that are even more incredible than they could have imagined. Impressive visual effects were used on wild creatures such as foxes, pandas, elephants, and lions.

The five-episode second season of Jane will debut on AppleTV+ on April 19, 2024. The show centres on Jane, who makes a solemn promise to protect endangered species.
