‘A Real Bug’s Life‘ is back for a thrilling second season, premiering on Disney+ Wednesday, January 15, 2025. In this new season, we dive even deeper into the fascinating world of insects, including an exclusive conversation with Michael J.W. Carr, a naturalist, entomologist, and environmental professional, about the mating rituals within the insect kingdom. Inspired by the world of Disney and Pixar’s ‘A Bug’s Life,’ this Disney+ Original series from National Geographic takes us on another extraordinary adventure into the micro-bug world—where nature’s forces unfold on a completely different scale, and miniature creatures rely on incredible superpowers to survive each day.
