Premise and story

The series picks up where the film left off: through Everest the yeti, Yi, Jin, and Peng know that a magical world exists, and it turns out to be closer than they thought. Their surroundings are full of magical creatures that need help, and each episode sends the kids, with Everest, on adventures through their city and beyond.1 The Disney+ listing describes the setting as adventures throughout China and beyond.3

Season 1. The first season, all twenty episodes of which aired on October 5, 2022, opens with "Everest Returns," in which Yi's violin attracts Fenghuang, a magical bird-like creature, while her mother and Nai Nai prepare to open the family dumpling shop.7 Later episodes introduce creatures drawn from Chinese lore and legend, including a massive Sewer Koi behind city earthquakes, sugar-addicted puffball creatures called Minticon that possess Peng, a wish-granting toad, and Nian, the dragon-like creature associated with Chinese New Year, who captures Peng and Everest in the two-part season finale "Chinese Nian Year."7 • 6

Season 2. The second season changes the premise: the public finds out that magical creatures exist, and Yi, Jin, and Peng form a "Creature Brigade" with Everest to help the mystical beings find a safe haven while shielding them from prying eyes. Coexistence proves difficult, and Yi is watched by a mysterious force.5 The season premiered on March 29, 2023, and its episodes include "Wu You Gonna Call?", in which a popular vlogger seeks viral footage of creatures and magic, and "Tales from the Fox's Tails," which features the Nine-Tailed Fox, a trickster rooted in Chinese lore.7
