Spirit Rangers^[2] is an animated preschool television series created by Karissa Valencia, a member of the Santa Ynez Band of the Chumash Nation.^[3][4] Co-produced by Netflix Animation, Laughing Wild and Superprod Studio, the series was released on Netflix on October 10, 2022, before Indigenous Peoples' Day.^[5] On January 18, 2023, it was announced that the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on May 8.^[6] On June 15 the same year, it was announced the series was renewed for a third and final season^[7] which premiered on April 8, 2024.^[8]

The show centers on Chumash and Cowlitz siblings Kodi, Summer and Eddy Skycedar,^[4] who wield magical necklaces that enable them to enter a magical spirit dimension in their national park. All three can assume animal forms: Kodi a grizzly bear, Summer a red-tailed hawk, and Eddy a turtle.^[4]

At the end of the second season, the Skycedars' necklaces are stolen by the Trickster Trio, a group of antagonistic animals. An otter spirit creates new necklaces that enable the Skycedars to transform into aquatic animals: Kodi a stingray, Summer an octopus, and Eddy an orca. The Skycedars later recover the original necklaces, which fuse with the second set and enable them to assume both forms at will.

The third season reveals that the Skycedars' mother and father were previously Spirit Rangers, but lost their magic after transferring it to them. The two later regain their magic, enabling them to reassume their respective spirit forms: a bear and an anthropomorphic tree.
