Mowgli doesn't just grow up in the jungle, he learns what it costs to belong anywhere. Every friendship teaches him something that makes him less wild and more human, and every lesson pulls him further from the only home he's ever known. Shere Khan isn't just a threat. He's the shadow of the world Mowgli will have to choose between, and by the time that choice comes, you understand why staying safe was never an option for him.

Orphaned in the Seeonee Forest, young Mowgli is taken in by a wolf pack led by Akela and grows up among the jungle's animals. Bagheera, a black panther, watches over him, while Baloo, a brown bear, teaches him and the wolf cubs the rules that govern jungle life. Danger is never far away: Shere Khan, a Bengal tiger who preys on humans, hunts the boy. Across 52 episodes of adventure and drama, Mowgli faces warm, sad and perilous moments as he searches for his true purpose, in a jungle whose beauty the series asks young viewers to protect.
