Reading Rainbow's Triumphant Return with Mychal Threets

It's March 24th. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm

Corey with the story.

Beloved Kids Show, reading Rainbow is back with a full 24 episode season hosted by social

media star Michael Threats, better known as Michael, the librarian. The 36 year old announced

the revival on Instagram on Monday, March 23rd, sharing excitement over the news from the

Hollywood reporter.

This comes after last year's four short episodes that aired exclusively on Sony's Kids

Zuko YouTube channel for children. Those featured big names like Gabriel Union, John Legend,

and Chrissy Taigan narrating stories to spark kids love for books. Fans have long hoped

for the show's return, originally a PBS hit from 1983 to 2006, hosted by Lavar Burton.

It became the most watched classroom program, pushing literacy for generations, and Burton

has called his role a powerful symbol for childhood. Reading, producers, Sony Pictures,

Television and Buffalo Toronto, public media have worked on this for years and plan to

shop the new season to networks or streamers. Kids Zuko will keep offering shortened versions

with fresh celebrity guests and book picks. With Threats at the helm, this update promises

to keep the magic alive for today's young readers, blending the stagia with new ways

to inspire a love of stories.
