2024–2025 · Based on 1 season, 8 episodes through January 14, 2025 ·
Wim, Fern, KB, and Neel are four kids who live on the hidden planet At Attin, where life seems safe and ordinary. They find an old ship, and it accidentally takes them far beyond the barrier around their home. A pirate called Jod joins their search, but he wants At Attin's hidden treasure for himself. The season is a playful space adventure with strange worlds, danger, and a long trip home. Fern often acts as the crew's captain and learns to share decisions with her friends. KB uses cybernetic parts and needs the others to understand what her body can handle. Episode 6 turns this into a friendship challenge when Fern ignores KB's limits, then has to listen and change their plan. Episode 3 briefly shows that KB has two mothers, while the main story stays focused on the kids working together to stop Jod and protect their home.
