The show is hosted by Emily Calandrelli who is additionally referred to as The Space Gal. Emily’s Wonder Lab was a kids-targeted educational series that was released on August 25th, 2020 on Netflix globally.

10 episodes were released as a part of season 1 which ranged from 12 to 14 minutes long . Each episode dove into a replacement topic starting from using air cannons to bowl, baking with solar-powered ovens, looking into the genius design of eggs, and maybe most significantly , the way to create rainbow horse toothpaste. Each episode also featured experiments that simply could perform reception .
The show didn’t make much of a mark on the highest 10s round the world with it not managing to seem into the highest 10s in either the US or the UK . It did make an appearance in some countries, however, like Finland, Qatar, Netherlands , and Norway.
Live-action kid’s content seems to struggle to urge beyond 1 or 2 seasons on Netflix. It’s among a couple of genres Netflix generally struggles to urge much traction in.
One show we expect may buck the trend is Waffles + Mochie starring former first lady Michelle Obama but as of the time of publishing, that show is currently awaiting renewal. Other short-lived shows within the genre include Julie’s Greenroom, The Who Was? Show and Brainchild all of which only lasted one season on Netflix.
