Season 4

Since the tragic death of the manor's reigning monarch, Flower, the meerkats of the Kalahari Desert are in chaos.

The Whiskers family divided; once-deserter Maybelline defied Rocket Dog's new leadership role in the Whiskers and started her own group, the Aztecs.

With their archenemies, the Commandos, still knocking at the meerkats' burrow, both the Whiskers and the Aztecs find themselves weakened by the split.

Maybelline's control over the Aztecs is dwindling and her futile attempts at leadership have made a lot of her subordinates quit.

Rocket Dog isn't faring much better. With a bigger group of meerkats under her command, her dominance is rocky.

To ensure their leadership, both meerkats need to get pregnant. Too bad Zaphod, their endearing dad, keeps running off all the eligible males.

Will the Next Generation uphold Flower's legacy and reunite the manor?

The show is narrated by Bill Nighy in the UK and Canada, Mike Goldman in Australia, and Sean Astin (Seasons 1-3) and Stockard Channing (4-) in the USA.
