## Spoilers
### Premise and characters
The series is set in a backyard world usually unseen by people. Its four main characters are Rocksy, a pebble who is the group's ringleader; Very Berry, a strawberry; Twig; and Leaf. According to DreamWorks, while they may be the smallest things in the yard, they are determined to live big lives despite their limited perspective.[4](https://www.dreamworks.com/shows/the-mighty-ones) Common Sense Media's review describes the episodes as everyday adventures, such as rescuing Rocksy when she sinks to the bottom of a giant pond or investigating an invisible barrier that separates the friends, which turns out to be a glass window.[5](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/the-mighty-ones)
The inaugural season, announced as 10 episodes, premiered on November 9, 2020, on Hulu and Peacock.[1](https://www.awn.com/news/dreamworks-animations-offbeat-mighty-ones-coming-hulu-and-peacock) The full run comprises four seasons of 20 episodes each, or 40 half-hour episodes of two segments, ending with the season 4 finale "Boat Day" on December 9, 2022.[2](https://dreamworks.fandom.com/wiki/The_Mighty_Ones) • [6](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/49722/the-mighty-ones)
### Season 4
The final season sent the gang into unexplored areas of the yard: a compost bin that doubles as a gladiator arena, a party for a swarm of unruly cicadas, a quest to get Leaf his first pair of pants, and a blastoff into what they think is space. It also introduced the long-lost fifth Mighty One, Gherkin, voiced by Johnny Pemberton, along with [Kayvan Novak](https://www.edgepedia.org/kayvan-novak) as "The Emperor Worm" and [Flula Borg](https://www.edgepedia.org/flula-borg) as "Hans."[8](https://press.hulu.com/shows/the-mighty-ones/)
