Launching with four back-to-back episodes, it incorporates unique space and science facts into the storylines that chart the outer space missions of young adventurer Miles Callisto and his family as they help connect the galaxy on behalf of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority.

The series follows the explorations of Miles and his family - mom and ship captain, Phoebe; mechanical engineer dad, Leo; tech-savvy big sister, Loretta; and best friend pet robo-ostrich, Merc. Together, they explore new galaxies filled with peculiar aliens, space-age vehicles and high-tech gadgets, taking young viewers and their families on a futuristic journey designed to fuel kids' natural interest in space and at the same time reminding them of the importance of what lies close to home - the family bond.

Olivia Munn ("The Newsroom") stars as Phoebe Callisto alongside Cullen McCarthy ("Mr. Peabody & Sherman") as Miles Callisto, Tom Kenny ("SpongeBob SquarePants") as Leo Callisto, Fiona Bishop (Disney Junior's "Sofia the First") as Loretta Callisto, and Dee Bradley Baker (Disney's "Phineas and Ferb") as Merc.

Space, science and technology experts from NASA and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the Space Tourism Society and Google serve as consultants on the series, which is designed to inspire young children's interest in the exhilarating world of space exploration and the world that lies beyond their own. Curiosity and discovery is central to the show's STEM curriculum and throughout the series, Miles and his family model friendship, teamwork, critical thinking, exploration of their environment and the celebration of family.

A "Miles from Tomorrowland: Missions" app for iOS and Android devices launches in late January. Game players will rocket through the galaxy with Miles and Merc exploring mysterious planets and completing critical missions. Disney|ABC Television Group's ground-breaking WATCH Disney Junior app will launch a Miles-branded game featuring a 3D virtual reality space simulator that enables kids to control Miles' Photon Flyer by physically moving their handheld device to navigate a variety of planetary environments. An episode of "Miles From Tomorrowland" is being adapted into an Appisode for the popular Disney Junior Appisodes app, which allows fans ages 2-7 to touch, tap, swipe, tilt, shake and talk their way through various activities embedded into full episodes of Disney Junior shows.
