  "account": "Apple TV is now offering the complete fifth season of the Emmy-winning animated series Stillwater. The platform made all five episodes of the Zen-inspired show available to stream following the release of a trailer for the new season.\n\nStillwater, based on the popular Zen book series by Jon J Muth, originally debuted in 2020 and has since earned two prestigious awards - a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Editing in a Preschool Animated Program, and a Peabody Award in Children's and Youth Programming. The series resumed after a two-year break, following the conclusion of its third season in August.\n\nSet in a neighborhood where a wise panda named Stillwater, voiced by James Sie, helps three young siblings - Karl, Addy and Michael - navigate everyday challenges. Through mindfulness teachings, stories and gentle humor, Stillwater imparts valuable life lessons to the children, helping them understand and manage their feelings and cope with their daily struggles.\n\nStillwater is available on Apple TV for a monthly subscription fee of $12.99, or as part of the Apple One bundle. Besides the nature-focused series, Apple TV offers a variety of hit TV shows and movies such as Severance, The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking and Silo.",
