Bonnett said, "Our hope is that 'Bizaardvark' inspires kids to embrace their own creativity and individuality, and encourages them to express themselves. We're excited about the direction that executive producer Eric Friedman and the creative team have planned for the new season, which will continue to build on the series' smart and clever storytelling."
