Today, Disney Branded Television announced the highly anticipated new season of Phineas and Ferb will premiere Thursday, June 5, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Disney Channel and Disney XD with two episodes, and the first episode will be available the same day on Disney Channel YouTube. The first 10 episodes of the season will premiere Friday, June 6, on Disney+ in the U.S. and select international markets, with additional markets to follow later this year. The episodes will also be available to stream on Disney Channel on Demand. A special sneak peek will debut Monday, May 26, at 11:35 a.m. ET/PT on Disney Channel, Disney XD, and Disney Channel YouTube. As part of today’s announcement, Disney Branded Television shared the first trailer and key art for the upcoming season of the five-time Emmy® Award-winning animated series.
Known for its history of celebrity cameos, the new season will feature new guest appearances from notable actors, musicians, and athletes, among others. 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 series co-creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire as Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh as Major Francis Monogram.
The return of Phineas and Ferb marks a major summer event for Disney—the leading destination for kids and family content—supported by a slate of exciting multiplatform content and merchandise throughout the year, including original animated shorts, music releases, and collectibles.
New animated shorts will begin rolling out this summer on Disney Channel, Disney+, and other Disney-owned YouTube channels. Cartoonified with Phineas and Ferb will get a fresh twist as the dynamic duo interviews real-life celebrities reimagined and drawn in the series’ iconic animation style, while Agent P, Under C will follow Perry the Platypus, returning as his alter ego Agent P, as he takes on a new undercover mission to stop animal enemies from rival spy organization A.N.A.T.H.E.M.A. (the Alliance of Nefarious Animals That Has an Exceptionally Memorable Acronym). New episodes from the flagship short-form series include the Emmy-nominated How Not to Draw and Theme Song Takeover featuring Phineas, Ferb, and others.

The BAFTA-nominated Phineas and Ferb is the most successful animated series for Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14 in Disney Television Animation history. It premiered officially in “Ferb-ruary” 2008 and became television’s No. 1 animated TV series of 2009 among Tweens 9-14, building to No. 1 among both Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14 in 2011, along with the franchise’s first of two television movies, Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension, ranking in TV’s top two 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 available on Disney+.
