Weather Hunters is an American animated children's television series that premiered on September 8, 2025 on PBS Kids. The series is produced by Al Roker Entertainment and Silver Creek Falls Entertainment. The first full episode was initially set to premiere on July 7, 2025, on PBS Kids in the United States, but was delayed to September 8 of the same year. [1]
The series follows an 8-year-old girl named Lily Hunter and her family. Lily is a weather detective. In each episode, she embarks on a quest with her dog, Cumulus, to solve mysteries by utilising her knowledge of the weather and forecasting skills. Other members of the Hunter family include Al Hunter, Lily’s father, and the meteorologist, Dot Hunter, Lily’s mother. Lily’s sister, Corky, is an 11-year-old budding documentarian who loves capturing exciting weather events on video, and Benny, Lily’s 5-year-old brother, is always drawing or painting something he has seen during the family’s adventures. The Hunter’s neighbor, Ms Joyce, is a wealthy woman who lives across from the Hunter family. The Hunters are descended from the late Wallace Hunter, a Tuskegee Weatherman who spent his twilight years designing various weather-related gadgets, including the Vansformer, the super-advanced flying van that they use as a mobile weather station. The Hunter family says their catchphrase, "Whatever the Weather, We're in It Together", in every episode.
Each episode aims to teach viewers a lesson about the weather through reality-based scientific explanations of various weather phenomena. [1]
On January 16, 2023, at the Television Critics Association Press Tour, PBS Kids announced that it would begin production on Weather Hunters. The show is produced by Al Roker Entertainment and Silver Creek Falls Entertainment and follows a weather detective who tries to share with everyday lessons, the weather, and her family. [2]
