The much-loved series, which originally concluded back in 2015, will return to Disney Channel for two additional seasons on June 5th, 2025, and then on Disney+ the following day.
New Storylines & Adventures
While fans can expect to see their favorite Phineas and Ferb characters, they should also expect plenty of fresh, new adventures.

“We put together a writers team with a lot of people from the original show and a lot of young writers who grew up on the show,” Povenmire said. “We’re just having the best time. We were a little worried that we were going to get into the writers’ room and people would pitch stuff we already did, and it hasn’t been that at all. They’re pitching wonderful, new, fresh ideas.”

Apparently, the upcoming revival will also include more of the catchy, silly songs that make the show so endearing.
According to Povenmire, the pair’s songwriting process typically only takes about an hour. “We’re not trying to get out any inner demons. We don’t have to wait for the muse to get us,” he said. “We know what’s happening in the story. It’s like, ‘Well, we need to write a song about a girl that has squirrels in her pants.’ We wrote that song and 15 years later, it becomes a trend on TikTok.”

We can’t wait to see what’s in store for Phineas and Ferb Season 5, and Povenmire seems confident that fans will LOVE the new episodes.
“I think it may be our best season ever,” he said. “There’s a lot of people who have had favorite episodes of this show for [almost] 20 years. I think that there’s probably 10 episodes this season that are going to change people’s minds about what their favorite episode is. There’s going to be some favorite episodes that get supplanted with that, because it’s starting to happen to me where I’m like, ‘This may be my favorite thing we’ve ever done.'”
