“Phineas and Ferb” Revival Disney+ Release Window Revealed
Disney has announced new details on the upcoming season of “Phineas and Ferb”, which follows the inventive stepbrothers as they tackle another 104 days of summer. Candace is more determined than ever to finally bust her little brothers while their pet platypus, Perry, continues to lead a double life as the suave Agent P, whose sole mission is to thwart Dr Doofenshmirtz from taking over the tri-state area.
The new season will feature new guest appearances from notable actors, musicians, athletes and more. They will join Vincent Martella and David Errigo Jr. as stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, respectively, Ashley Tisdale as Candace Flynn, Caroline Rhea as Linda Flynn-Fletcher, Dee Bradley Baker as Perry the Platypus, Alyson Stoner as Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, and co-creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire as Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh as Major Francis Monogram.
Dan Povenmire and Swampy Marsh, the show’s co-creators, have announced that the new episodes will debut in the summer on Disney Channel and Disney+.
“Since ‘Phineas and Ferb’ is essentially a celebration of summer vacation, summer is the perfect time to debut the new season. We have had such a great time diving back into this world and the entire cast and crew have really brought their A-game. We cannot wait to see fans’ reactions to what is shaping up to be our favorite season yet.”
Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, added:
“Few shows capture pure fun and creativity like ‘Phineas and Ferb’. It’s a series that generations of kids and families have loved, and it perfectly reflects Disney Branded Television’s commitment to joyful storytelling that brings people together. With Dan and Swampy back at the helm, this new season is sure to deliver even more of the excitement and heart that made ‘Phineas and Ferb’ a beloved favorite.”
“Phineas and Ferb” is a five-time Emmy Award winner and the most successful animated series for Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14 in Disney Television Animation history. It premiered officially in January 2008 and became television’s No. 1 animated TV series of 2009 among Tweens 9-14 and built to No. 1 among both Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14 for 2011, along with the franchise’s first of two television movies it inspired, “Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension,” ranking in TV’s Top 2 movies for 2011.
The series was a global franchise for Disney, a first for a Disney Channel animated property for older kids. By 2012, its popularity burgeoned with a live touring show and junior novels, with extensions across every consumer products category, including apparel, toys, video games, food, health and beauty. In 2020, “Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe” debuted on Disney+.
All four original seasons and the films are currently available to stream on Disney+.
Roger’s Take: “Phineas and Ferb” is one of the most popular shows on Disney+, so it’s not a surprise that Disney wanted to bring the franchise back and with it being an established franchise, is much more likely to pull in new younger viewers, while also appealing to older fans.
