PROVO, Utah, June 2, 2022 -- BYUtv, a family entertainment network available over cable, satellite and free streaming, today announced the premiere dates for two award-nominated returning shows this summer, including season four of uplifting unscripted show "The Wizard of Paws" about the creation of lifesaving prosthetics for animals in need, and both seasons four and five of fan-favorite dramedy "Holly Hobbie" about a teenager with big city dreams and an even bigger heart.
The BYUtv original "The Wizard of Paws," co-produced by The Dodo, is a nominee for the Critics Choice Real TV Awards (second consecutive year) and American Reality Television Awards, and previous seasons have been picked up by Disney+ and Nat Geo WILD. BYUtv is now the commissioning broadcaster for seasons four and five of Daytime Emmy-nominated "Holly Hobbie," with previous seasons also available on Hulu and the Disney Channel.
The 10-episode season four of "The Wizard of Paws" will debut on both linear and streaming in June. Subsequent to the surprise drop of all 10 episodes of "Holly Hobbie" season four on BYUtv's digital platforms on May 1, the episodes will receive a primetime broadcast premiere in June, followed closely by the streaming and broadcast premieres of the 10-episode season five in August, with both seasons airing back-to-back episodes weekly. All released episodes of all seasons of both series will be available to stream for free on the BYUtv app and at BYUtv.org.
The schedule of returning shows is as follows:
Sunday, June 12
"The Wizard of Paws" (season four) at 7 p.m. ET/5 p.m. MT/4 p.m. PT
Tuesday, June 14
"Holly Hobbie" (season four) primetime broadcast premiere at 7 p.m. ET/5 p.m. MT/4 p.m. PT

"Both 'The Wizard of Paws' and 'Holly Hobbie' are appealing shows that have proven time and again to resonate strongly with audiences on BYUtv and beyond as they highlight the altruistic work of a real-life animal prosthetist and a fictional character who shoots for her dreams while helping her community," said Andra Johnson Duke, head of content at BYUtv. "The power in doing good is not only an important value that parents can teach their children as they watch these series together, but it inspires everyone who watches, no matter their age, to want to make life better for those around them."

Holly Hobbie might appear to be just a young farm girl living in small-town U.S.A, but on the inside, she’s a hero for our time. Now that Holly’s hit her teens, helping others is more complicated than it looks. From saving her grandma’s café, to supporting her bestie and navigating young love, Holly may save the world someday, but she’s going to start with her own small town.
***
As season two gets underway, Holly's life begins to get more complicated (Boys! Bullies! Breakouts! Biology tests!) and so does her music. Holly continues to use her life as a source of inspiration for her songs but this season, for the first time, some people don't like what she has to say. When Holly's attempt to deal with the haters backfires, Holly wonders if some topics are off limits. Like, can she write about her crush on Tyler? Her friends? What about her family? And if she does, can she handle the consequences? All this second-guessing triggers a serious case of writer's block and spirals Holly into a big ol' funk which is further exacerbated when Holly meets another talented musician who isn't afraid to express himself. As Holly starts to collaborate with him she finds her voice again - but is she ready to share it with a bigger audience?
