After winning over millions of toddlers (and their parents) with her hit YouTube show Songs for Littles, Ms. Rachel leaped to Netflix earlier this year — and now she’s officially back for more.
Netflix confirmed in a brief Instagram video that Season 2 is coming later this summer, although the exact date remains undisclosed.
If you’ve already watched the first four episodes on repeat, good news: more screen-time fun is right around the corner.
Why Parents (And Kids) Love Ms. Rachel
Rachel Accurso — aka Ms. Rachel — is more than just a friendly face on screen. She’s a former teacher with a master’s degree in early childhood development and music education.
Rachel began her YouTube channel in 2019 with her husband, Aron, to help their son with speech delays.
“It makes me teary thinking of the time when he couldn’t communicate — you could see the frustration,” Rachel told PEOPLE. “Watching your child struggle is the worst feeling, but when parents say our videos help with communication, it’s huge.”
Her work has since exploded:
—A wildly popular YouTube series
—A partnership with SpinMaster and Melissa & Doug for educational toys
—Four picture books, including Ms. Rachel and the Special Surprise!, focused on speech and language through music and play
Will Ms. Rachel Stay on YouTube, Too?
Yes — and that’s the best part.
Even with the Netflix show getting new episodes, Ms. Rachel’s original Songs for Littles videos will stay free on YouTube. Whether you’re a Netflix parent or a YouTube loyalist, her joyful songs, games, and milestone-focused content are here to stay.
Netflix describes her show as “songs, games, and nursery rhymes infused with strategies from experts to help children reach important milestones.”
In Rachel’s own words: “All children are capable, brilliant, and important.” And she’s making sure the whole world knows it.
What Is Ms. Rachel Up To Now?
Ms. Rachel is thoroughly enjoying motherhood. Shared a memorable moment from her personal life. She revealed how Susannah is fully benefiting from her special talents.
“I had [Susannah] in front of me, and I was like, ‘I want to sing her a song. Hmm, what should I sing?’ And then I was like, ‘Wait, this is my area,'” Rachel, 42, said. “I’ve been doing full episodes for her, just as myself!”
She added, “Thomas is even changing diapers sometimes—except for no poopy ones,” she continued. “He’s given her a bottle, he’s burped her. He’s just the sweetest with her.”
Rachel announced the birth of her second child on April 8. She shared with her followers that she welcomed the baby via surrogate.
“We welcomed sweet baby Susannah into the world! We are so in love! Sometimes timing isn’t what you plan and the road to get there is bumpier than you expect, but when you hold your little ones you know… I’m meant to be your mama.”
She added, “I was unable to carry this pregnancy for medical reasons and we were blessed to have a surrogate who gave us the most precious gift possible. We are now all family forever.”
