Ridley Jones[2] is an animated preschool television series[3] created and executive produced by Chris Nee for Netflix.[4][2] The series premiered on July 13, 2021.[5] A second season debuted on a November 2 release.[6] A third season was released on February 15, 2022.[7] A fourth season was released on August 22, 2022.[8] A fifth season was released on March 6, 2023. The series was allegedly cancelled as a reaction to the introduction of a non-binary character.[9]
The series is set in a world similar to Night at the Museum with key elements shared between the two.
The series takes place in a museum where the exhibits and displays come to life via magic. The Jones family, who live inside a treehouse at the center of the building, have been protectors of the museum's secrets for generations, and the latest candidate for the position is Ridley, who only recently learned about the exhibits coming to life. As she continues to earn her role, she gathers a team of other museum display models to help contain the chaos and care for those who need it, all while making sure that everyone is safe and happy – without the outside world learning about the museum's secrets.
