It’s official: a new batch of Phineas and Ferb episodes is coming to the Disney Channel and Disney+ in 2026. The announcement came during the show’s first panel in a decade at San Diego Comic-Con. Fans who grew up with the show’s iconic summer antics were excited.
A Successful Revival Sets the Stage
After a decade-long hiatus, the beloved animated series finally returned in 2025. The first two of 40 new episodes aired in June on Disney Channel and Disney XD. The initial batch of 10 episodes streamed on Disney+ a day later. Co-creators Jeff “Swampy” Marsh and Dan Povenmire confirmed that the new episodes will continue the show’s core premise. Stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb are back to their backyard adventures. Their pet platypus, Perry, secretly thwarts the evil plans of Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
The Return of the Original Creative Team
The show is being brought back by its original creators. This is a crucial detail for fans. They trust the original creative team to maintain the show’s signature wit and charm. Marsh mentioned a subtle change to Phineas’s shirt. It now has an extra stripe. This gives “the illusion of getting taller.” The new episodes will continue the core premise. Phineas and Ferb are on summer vacation. Candace tries to get her brothers in trouble. Perry the Platypus foils Dr. Doofenshmirtz, who has updated his social media status to “Evil Again.”
Streaming Data Proves the Show’s Popularity
Streaming success heavily influenced the decision to bring the show back. According to Disney data, the show has been streamed for 650 million hours globally on Disney+. It remained one of the most-watched animated kids’ series, even after ten years without new episodes. Povenmire and Marsh also made a conscious effort to avoid mean humor and double entendres. They aimed for a series that appeals to both kids and adults.
Celebrity Guests and Enduring Legacy
The new season will feature the original voice cast. This includes Vincent Martella as Phineas and Ashley Tisdale as Candace. Fans can also look forward to a wide array of celebrity guest appearances. Stars include Michael Bublé, John Stamos, and Leslie Jones. The creators noted the show has had a positive effect. It inspired a generation of engineering students.
