Amphibia Season Two Finale Coming Saturday
After a May full of delays and missteps, Disney Channel’s Amphibia will end Season Two on May 22…
The story has been in the periphery for weeks now; the popular Disney Channel show Amphibia had its Season Two finale spoiled when it was accidentally published on iTunes following worries about a very intense final episode.
What followed was a crazy confluence of critique and candid remarks about the mistake and an outpouring of love for the show and its creators.
Braly on Amphibia
Recently, showrunner Matt Braly tweeted:

Lastly thank you from the bottom of our hearts, from both me and the crew for all your support. I wish things had gone a lot differently but I'm super happy that the ep is coming out in its original form.

In the thread above, Braly posted, “I’m well aware our momentum has been shattered – we will do our best to build excitement this week. I know with the help of all you amazing #amphibia fans we can still give this ep the welcome it deserves.

“The episode is 100% intact, no edits were ultimately made,” he added.
A Cautionary Tale
The show synopsis for Saturday reads, “The family travels to Newtopia to say their goodbyes and finally send all three girls home. However, someone has other plans…”
However, the episode also runs under the cautionary message:

Moreover, given the strong fanbase, Amphibia (which, like The Owl House, has already achieved a kind of cult status) seems destined to take the garnered momentum from Saturday into the third season. May 22 includes a three-hour marathon of episodes leading into the finale.
Amphibia’s Origins
Finally, the cartoon-watching site BubbleBlabber.com reminds:
Inspired by creator and executive producer Matt Braly’s heritage, family, and childhood trips to Bangkok, Thailand, Disney’s animated series chronicles the adventures of independent and fearless teen Anne Boonchuy after she is magically transported to a rural marshland full of frog people. There, Anne meets the excitable young frog Sprig Plantar; unpredictable pollywog Polly Plantar, the youngest member of the Plantar family; and overprotective and traditional grandfather Hop Pop. Stuck in this fantastical world of amphibians, Anne quickly bonds with the adventurous Sprig and discovers the true meaning of friendship.
