The ongoing TCA 2023 has some delightful announcements fans for Disney fans. While the Disney panel revealed tidbits about many upcoming features, Collider’s own Carly Lane, who is in attendance, reports that animated musical-comedy Phineas and Ferb is coming back for two more seasons with 40 episodes in total. Show creator Dan Povenmire has closed a deal with Disney+ and made the announcement himself.
Phineas and Ferb follows the adventures of Phineas and his English stepbrother, Ferb, who live in the fictional city of Danville. During their summer vacation, the boys and their friends take on ambitious new feats, involving elaborate, life-sized, and unimaginable projects. They have an older sister Candace, who has two obsessions: exposing Phineas and Ferb's ideas and winning the attention of a boy named Jeremy.
The series is inspired by Povenmire’s own childhood summer memories spent in Mobile, Alabama, is well-loved by its younger audience, and often takes various pop culture icons on Phineas and Ferb’s adventures. During Season 1, various episodes featured guest stars like boxer Evander Holyfield, Cloris Leachman, Ben Stiller, singer Kelly Clarkson along with Tina Fey, Seth MacFarlane, David Mitchell, Jaret Reddick, Clay Aiken, Kevin Smith, and more.
