Award-Winning Series Mission Unstoppable Renewed Through 2025-2026 Season on CBS
NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2024 / — Hearst Media Production Group (HMPG), a leading producer and distributor of educational and informational programming, and Lyda Hill Philanthropies, through its IF/THEN® initiative, have renewed the weekly television series Mission Unstoppable for an additional two seasons (through 2025-2026) on CBS. Season 6 of the program, which airs weekend mornings as part of the CBS WKND educational/informational program block, will debut this fall (check local listings).
The award-winning program will continue to be hosted by Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly, Despicable Me) and executive produced by Cosgrove and Academy Award-winning actress Geena Davis through the Geena Davis Institute. Earlier this year, Mission Unstoppable was honored with 16 international Telly awards, nominated for a 2024 Webby award for its digital-first series Stem Loft, and was recognized by the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy as the only show on television focused on encouraging young women to pursue STEM careers.
This season, Mission Unstoppable will continue to celebrate outstanding women who have achieved success in STEM fields and beyond. Among other inspirational personalities, viewers will meet Cecilia Aragon, a two-time bronze medalist in the US National and World Aerobatics Championships, who also happens to be one of the nation’s most accomplished data scientists; Morgan Yost, who has juggled duties as a Denver Broncos cheerleader with her job as an aerospace engineer at Lockheed Martin; and Heather Peters, known for her involvement with a different type of physical endurance — helping the Puckerbutt Pepper Company produce two of the hottest peppers known to humankind.
“Our partners at Lyda Hill Philanthropies are true advocates who inspire young women to pursue careers in STEM professions,” said Bryan Curb, HMPG EVP and general manager, education/information. “Together with CBS, we will continue to amplify this mission by bringing more inspirational stories of women in STEM to Mission Unstoppable.”
“For five seasons, Mission Unstoppable has been a core component of the IF/THEN® initiative through its influential programming that has an impact on the future career path of girls and young women,” said Nicole Small, CEO of Lyda Hill Philanthropies and Co-Founder of IF/THEN®.
