Synopsis:

A REAL BUG’S LIFE is back for a thrilling second season that’s bigger and bolder than ever. Inspired by the World of Disney and Pixar’s “A Bug’s Life,” the Disney+ Original series from National Geographic takes us on another extraordinary adventure into the micro-bug world — where the forces of nature play out on a completely different scale and miniature creatures rely on amazing superpowers to make it through each day. Now, thanks to new cutting-edge filming technology, we are able to follow the incredible stories of the tiny heroes living in this hidden world, from the fast-legged tiger beetle escaping the heat of Malaysia’s beaches to the magical metamorphosis of a damselfly on a British pond to the Smoky Mountain luna moth whose quest is to grow wings, find love and pass on his genes all in one short night! Join our fun and witty guide, Awkwafina, on new bug journeys full of more mind-blowing behaviors and larger-than-life character
