After what seems like the longest summer vacation, children’s favourites Phineas and Ferb are back with a new season! The iconic cartoon has always remained kids’ top picks, earning a place in the top ten watched animated kids’ series, according to Nielson data. Despite the ten-year hiatus, the show has remained a go-to choice for many and resurfaced time and again through memes and TikTok.
The series is set to premiere on June 5 on Disney Channel and on June 6 on Disney+ in the US. The show, created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, will be rolled in select international markets on Disney+.

The come-back season shows the stepbrother duo, along with their friends, heading back to their favourite backyard in the Tri-State area for another 104 days of summer vacation. The trailer promises fans new adventures, inventions and shenanigans; as they create a “Submarine Sandwich Submarine” along with their many other inventions. Added to the banter of the boys, fan favourite Perry the Platypus will also be back with exciting new missions – planning to fight against Dr. Doofenshmirtz, who has updated his social media status to “Evil Again”.
A special sneak peek video was also released earlier this week, which acts as the prologue for the season – the inventive brothers attending their last day at school, recapping their previous vacations as they nostalgically get ready for the upcoming days.

The five-time Emmy-winning series is also popular for its original hit songs. In anticipation of the fifth season, Disney has recently released a Lo-fi version; featuring ten songs from the series.
The announcement sparked immediate excitement online, with fans fondly reflecting on the show that they have long outgrown but still hold dear.
