Dan Povenmire Turned to a Popular TikTok Duo to Help Choreograph the First New ‘Phineas and Ferb’ Episode
With the long-awaited Phineas and Ferb revival set to arrive on the Disney Channel next week, a new summer of adventure is about to unfold before our eyes.
While the show is beloved for its comedy and heart, Phineas and Ferb’s legacy has broadly been defined by music. Since the show went off the air, numerous songs from the series, including “Squirrels in My Pants,” have become trends on TikTok.

Perhaps it is fitting that when Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh set out to work on the new season of Phineas and Ferb, they turned to Austin Telenko and Marideth Batchelor, better known as Cost n’ Mayor, to help with choreography.
How the Collaboration Came Together
In a new video on TikTok, the popular duo revealed that Dan Povenmire approached them two years ago to choreograph the opening number for the new season of Phineas and Ferb.
