“Zoboomafoo” Reboot Casts Jerma as Iconic Lemur

The children’s classic Zoboomafoo by the Kratt brothers will be rebooted after its original reboot was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first reboot was to feature the corpse of the deceased lemur Jovian, and planned to simulate his jumping behavior using a zipline system. 

Unfortunately, the Kratt Brothers lost their deposit on the cryogenically-preserved Jovian in 2021 after they filed for bankruptcy. The company was forced to bury the lemur, as its body was filled with worms. The project was considered lost and was indefinitely canceled until Twitch streamer Jerma985 reached out to the brothers, asking to play the role of the beloved lemur. Jeremy Harrington will be donning a full-sized lemur suit to play Zaboo, and will be completing the same stunts the original lemur performed. 

Zoboomafoo’s new season will be available to stream on Peacock in summer 2023, with Jerma985 bounding, leaping, and rolling on the same equipment his predecessor enjoyed.
