The First Song Of The 'Phineas and Ferb' Revival Has Been Revealed
The revival from Disney Branded Television is set to premiere next year
Disney Channel juggernaut Phineas and Ferb had its three-year anniversary of its second movie Candace Against the Universe on August 28. This anniversary in particular has an entire series revival to look forward to next year. The series’s ever-social media-present co-creator Dan Povenmire has revealed the revival’s first song on his various platforms, namely TikTok and Instagram.
“And away we go!”, the video is captioned with show, company, character, and songwriting hashtags. Dan announces, “So, we just wrote the first song of the reboot of Phineas & Ferb, and what is it called?” He swerves his chair to bring four of his fellow writers, including father and daughter Martin and Olivia Olson, into view. They respond “The Song of the Summer”. He follows up with “And why is it the song of the summer?” to which they declare “Because we’re saying it is”. The younger Olson is also the voice of Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, Heinz’s daughter, making her Povenmire (who voices Dr. Doofenshmirtz)’s onscreen daughter as well.
That’s exactly right. The Phineas and Ferb revival was announced in January by Disney Branded Television for 40 episodes, making 2 20 episode seasons. They will begin premiering sometime next year in a yet-to-be specified rollout method, which at this point means “Will all or only parts of bunches premiere on Disney+?”, because other Disney Channel animated series have had several episodes in its Disney+ drops be premiered in it. It took about 6 weeks from revival announcement to secure the series’s other co-creator and voice of Major Monogram, Jeff “Swampy” Marsh. The cast as it stood post-series with David Errigo Jr. taking over for Thomas Sangster, is expected to return. However Mitchel Musso, who maintained his role as Jeremy Johnson despite losing PrankStars and Pair of Kings after his 2011 DUI arrest, has just days ago been arrested for public intoxication and theft, so it remains to be seen what happens from there.
The revival came about as the show maintains its popularity 8 years after finishing a 4-season run over 8 years from 2007 to 2015. Besides the two nickels and Squirrels In My Pants memes, it is a consistent top performer on Disney+, usually somewhere in the top 12 depending on the metric. This was the exact measurement by which Povenmire was told by executives would revive his and Marsh’s follow-up series, Milo Murphy’s Law, in the months leading up to Disney+’s launch after the show’s second and most recent season concluded in May 2019. Recently, it was announced that the similarly successful long-runner Mickey Mouse Clubhouse would be revived as well for a 2025 premiere.
