Disney announced on Friday that the popular Disney Channel animated series Phineas and Ferb will return with 40 new episodes. The show will be revived thanks to a new agreement with series creator Dan Povenmire, who will produce these new episodes over the course of two seasons.
“It has been the greatest pleasure of my career to see how an entire generation of kids and parents have embraced the characters and the humor of Phineas and Ferb,” Povenmire said in a news release. “I’m eagerly looking forward to diving back into the show for them and for a whole new generation.”
Variety says that co-creator Jeff “Swampy” Marsh is negotiating a comeback as well. Disney made no mention of the release date or broadcast location of the new episodes. Disney Branded Television, a branch of the corporation whose programs now air on Disney Channel, Disney Plus, Disney Junior, and Disney XD, will now produce Phineas and Ferb. On Disney Plus, you may immediately revisit the delights of the current Phineas and Ferb episodes.
2008 had seen the introduction of Phineas and Ferb. It centers on two inventive brothers who, over the course of one summer, develop increasingly complex creations and engage in outrageous antics while their older sister tries to get them into trouble. In the meantime, each episode features their pet platypus, who is actually a covert agent working to stop the schemes of Dr. Doofenshmirtz, an evil scientist. The episodes move along quickly and are jam-packed with fantastic jokes.
