“America's hero is finally back in camp!”

ComedyFamily

Ernest P. Worrell is now in the military as a soldier. Once he begins, him and his team investigates a dictator who was responsible for the wars in the nearly village. Suddenly, Ernest finds a lost boy and has to keep him safe until his father recovers.

VIBE

Expect a barrage of silly gags and earnest, if clumsy, heroism. It’s pure, unadulterated Ernest, leaning into the character’s signature brand of low-brow, kid-friendly chaos. A simple, goofy adventure.
