Ada Twist, Scientist, based on the best-selling children's book series by author Andrea Beaty and illustrator David Roberts, follows the adventures of 8 year old Ada Twist, a pint-sized scientist with a giant-sized curiosity, who aspires to discover the truth about absolutely everything.

With the help of her two best friends, Rosie Revere and Iggy Peck, Ada unravels and solves mysteries for her friends and family. But solving the mystery is only the beginning because science isn’t just about learning how and why and what… it’s about putting that knowledge into action to make the world a better place.

Ada Twist, Scientist, developed for TV by executive producer Chris Nee (Laughing Wild), Wonder Worldwide, is produced in partnership with President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions, with animation services done by Brown Bag Films Dublin and Bali. 

The series features an all-star cast, with Black Box actress Amanda Christine lending her voice to Ada, All American’s Taye Diggs, who portrays Ada’s father, Dad Twist and This Is Us actress, Susan Kelechi Watson voicing Ada’s mother, Mom Twist.

Candace Kozak (Rosie Revere), Nicholas Crovetti (Iggy Peck), and Terrence Little Gardenhigh (Arthur Twist) round out the cast as Ada’s friends and brother.

Each episode is followed by footage of real-life scientists introducing themselves and their professions, then making the scientific elements of their work easy to understand.

The series launched on Netflix on September 28, 2021.
