Ridley Jones
The new season starts on November 2, 2021 on Netflix
Ridley Jones is Netflix’s newest preschool series, following six-year-old Ridley who, alongside her mother and grandmother, is a protector of the museum she calls home. Keeping the exhibits safe takes a real hero, especially when the lights go out and the exhibits — from Egyptian mummies to stampeding elephants — come to life! Throughout her many adventures, Ridley finds that being a good protector, and leader, is about finding common ground and respecting others, no matter what our differences might be.
Ridley Jones includes the first nonbinary character on a preschool show, Fred the bison. The cast also includes other LGBTQ+ characters and can be found in the “Representation Matters” collection on Netflix. Fred has a recurring role in the series and is one of Ridley’s closest friends.
