Production notes

Inspired by wildlife greats such as Steve Irwin and the science-fiction legend Flash Gordon, the series Dex Hamilton: Alien Entomologist introduces us to a whole new breed of hero.

A fresh and imaginative adventure comedy series geared for kids aged 6-11. In the year 3000, when alien insects are crawling through the galaxy and a dangerous rift between man and nature ensues, a young scientist and wildlife explorer is called into action. His name is Dex Hamilton, and no one knows bugs like he does!

Dex Hamilton leads us through the slimy, scary but always fascinating world of alien insects. And he just so happens to save the galaxy from time to time.

Although the series takes us on fantastic adventures to uncharted planets, the heart of show relies on its strong cast of characters and meaningful stories that are appealing to both male and female viewers. This series will allow all kids to escape deep into their imaginations and will spark their curiosity to the natural world around them.

Escaping the toxic nest of a slimy solar slug? Researching the pollination habits of the furious fire wasp? Saving the planet from King Kong crickets? Just another day in the life of Dex Hamilton! Being an alien entomologist isn't for the faint of heart, especially when there's a mysterious insect infestation on the rise! Dex and his team of lovable misfits are quickly discovering that their scientific skills are desperately needed to keep the natural world in balance.
