If you and your kids are ready to travel back to CoComelon Lane for an all-new season of songs, friendship, life lessons, and fun, get ready to tune in because season 5 of the popular CoComelon spinoff is set to debut on Netflix on August 18.
Just like in prior seasons, young viewers will follow JJ, Cody, Nina, and the rest of the CoComelon Lane crew as they learn, explore, play, and grow, supported and surrounded by their siblings, parents, and the other residents of their colorful, musical town. Here’s what to expect from season 5, plus an exclusive clip sneak peek.
What to Know About CoComelon Lane Season Five
The theme song for the new season holds a clue for what’s to come and what remains the same—yes, the same beloved characters are coming back, but their adventures are new.
“JJ and friends are certainly ‘about to do something new’ in Season 5 of CoComelon Lane,” says Meghan Sheridan, Moonbug Entertainment Senior Creative Executive. (Moonbug Entertainment is CoComelon’s parent company.)
She describes season five as “heartwarming, community-focused, and fun,” with lots of adventures outside the classroom.
What Themes Does CoComelon Lane Explore This Season?
Because the CoComelon Lane kids are slightly older than their CoComelon counterparts and the series has more dialogue and plot than the original show, we’ll see them explore more complex experiences and themes outside of the classroom. This season, the kids at Melon Patch Academy will take eight new field trip adventures with their teacher Ms. Appleberry, says Sheridan.
“We’ll explore new locations and experiences from welcoming visitors at the local airport, to learning how to recycle, to feeding animals at the wild animal rescue park, and exploring sea creatures in a tide pool,” says Sheridan.
The season aims to show that kids are an important part of their neighborhood and reinforce to kids “how rewarding it is to visit new places and interact with community helpers like veterinarians, park rangers, sanitation workers, pilots, and restaurant owners.”
Each episode is set from the child’s perspective, Sheridan says, and the various field trips play an important role as more “aspirational” content. “The field trips highlight shared experiences among young friends and also allow the viewers to further immerse themselves in the warm, welcoming, diverse CoComelon Lane community,” she explains.
For instance, vehicle-loving Nina gets to see where the garbage and recycling trucks go, and Cody befriends a puppy at the pet rescue.
Life Lessons Kids Can Take Away from CoComelon Lane Season 5
CoComelon Lane uses catchy songs and understandable, relatable storylines to help kids navigate their feelings and emotions and see themselves reflected in the content onscreen.
For instance, in the episode “JJ’s Pancake Party,” JJ and friends go to a restaurant with Ms. Appleberry; there, Cody’s dad, the owner and chef, encourages JJ to ask questions and be curious as they prep pancakes together.
“Little ones are endlessly curious about the process of everyday routines like meal time, so CoComelon Lane loves to model how kids can partake in daily activities like kid-friendly cooking,” says Sheridan.
In another episode, “Nina Feeds the Giraffe,” Nina is so excited to feed a giraffe at the wild animal rescue park that she can’t wait in line with her classmates, leading Ms. Appleberry to step in with a song to help her wait her turn.
“This is such a relatable experience, as learning how to wait and be patient takes practice for both children and adults,” Sheridan explains. “Ms. Appleberry uses a song to help Nina wait in the line while also teaching ordinal numbers (first, second, third) in a simple, developmentally-appropriate way.”
New Songs in CoComelon Lane Season 5
It’s not a CoComelon show without lots of music, and Sheridan says that the nursery rhyme adaptations aren’t going anywhere; this season includes twists on classics that kids haven’t heard before like “Wheels on the Plane” and “This is the Way (We Take Turns).”
There are also a few new original songs added to the mix, says Sheridan, including “Good Try,” where Cody tries to pick an apple at the orchard but can’t quite reach it, leading to feelings of frustration. Once he asks Ms. Appleberry for a box to stand on, the apple is his.
“For littles, it’s a huge world. Many things are too tall to reach and many skills are challenging to learn,” explains Sheridan. “CoComelon Lane demonstrates that it’s entirely natural to feel frustrated when you’re doing something new. When you feel frustrated, you can always take a break or ask for help. And eventually you can try again; perseverance is an invaluable social-emotional skill.”
Another original tune is “That’s How We Recycle,” which—as you may have guessed—teaches kids how to sort and recycle household items. “The weekly recycling and garbage truck pick-up will be even more exciting when littles enjoy helping with the sorting at home,” Sheridan says.
Sheridan, who is a parent of two kids, hopes that caregivers and kids will see this season as a “companion for their own experiences” and thinks the series will inspire “even the littlest of children” to try something new. “Just like JJ and friends, viewers watching at home can be junior animal helpers, recyclers, artists, pancake mixers, and nature rangers within their own communities.”
