Disney and Qatar-based powerhouse beIN Media Group have expanded their content agreement in a new partnership, giving beIN rights to Disney Channel and Disney Junior across the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.

The new deal will bring Disney Channel and Disney Junior in English and Arabic on beIN’s outlets in Mena, where Disney+ has been operating as a standalone streaming platform since June 2022.

BeIN — which is a co-owner of U.S. indie studio Miramax — operates linear satellite channels in 24 territories across Mena. Historically, its business has been driven by sports, but its scripted content offer has been steadily increasing recently. In 2022, beIN launched its Tod streaming platform, which currently commands a 4% share of the Mena streaming market thanks to a mix of premium sports and scripted content.

Mitchel Musso was a prolific Disney Channel star who was on one of its biggest shows, "Hannah Montana." According to The Hollywood Reporter, one of the highest-rated episodes drew in over 10 million viewers. The secret superstar sitcom was one of the few series to make it past Disney Channel's dreaded 65 episode rule because it was too popular to cancel. Musso, with his Justin Bieber-style hair swoop and earnest smile, played Oliver Oken — a sweet, outgoing kid known for his quirky catchphrase, "Fricky Fricky Fresh."

He also voiced Jeremy, the guitar-playing object of Candace's affection on the animated series "Phineas and Ferb." Musso eventually earned a starring role on the Disney Xd show "Pair of Kings," about fraternal twins who become the unexpected rulers of a tropical island kingdom. But it's been at least two years since we've heard anything about what Mitchel Musso is up to, since he...

Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh co-created Phineas and Ferb, arguably one of the best-animated shows of all time. The series ran for four seasons across eight years before concluding in 2015.

During an interview, Povenmire and Marsh reflected on their collaboration on the hit series, which has delivered countless memorable moments for the fans. However, the co-creators admitted that despite working well together, they also had their fair share of disagreements. Here is what Povenmire and Marsh had to say about their biggest disagreement while working on the series.

Phineas and Ferb is easily one of the most recognizable and beloved IPs Disney made for the younger demographics. As a result, it isn’t a surprise that the series created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh is being revived for a bunch of new episodes that fans will finally get to watch this summer to relive the original’s magic.

However, things might have been almost entirely different had Nickelodeon not made the worst decision of turning down the series when it was in development. In an interview, Povenmire and Marsh confirmed they had pitched the series to Nickelodeon, who rejected it for an absurd reason before Disney picked it up. Here is what the creators had to say about Nickelodeon rejecting Phineas and Ferb.

Phineas and Ferb is arguably one of the most beloved children’s cartoons. The series was created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh and ran for four seasons before concluding in 2017. After a few years of absence, the dynamic behind-the-scenes duo is once again back together to bring the titular stepbrother duo back to our screens.

A fifth installment of the series is slated to premiere later this year, making it an opportune moment to go back in time and reflect on the classic cartoon’s creation. During an interview, Povenmire revealed that the series originated from a doodle he made during a visit to a restaurant. What followed is one of the strangest origin stories for an animated series and here is how it all went down.

A generation that grew up in the prime Disney Channel era will certainly recognize the impact of Sharpay supremacy. Disney star Ashley Tisdale dominated the entertainment scene in the 2000s, becoming a household name for her iconic roles as Sharpay in Disney Channel’s High School Musical and Maddie in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

During the 2000s, Tisdale was a megastar when Disney Channel shows ruled the television landscape. As a popular Disney figure, she showcased her talent across acting, singing, and dancing, embodying the essence of Disney’s entertainment.

From playing the two iconic Disney roles to hitting the music charts, the girl showed all her charm. Despite her versatile acting talent, Tisdale hasn’t received the credit she truly deserves.

Does the infamous line “Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!” ring a bell?

Variety reported that the reboot of the Phineas and Ferb series will be premiering in 2025 and will see much of the voice cast from the show's original run return to their respective characters.

An announcement was also made at a panel at New York’s ComicCon in 2024.

30 Rock remains one of TV’s most beloved comedy series. It was awarded 16 Emmys in its 7-year stint at NBC. What really set the show apart was both the fast humor and the characters that fans still remember. Developed by Tina Fey and mostly inspired by her own work for Saturday Night Live as a head writer, the show depicted fictional sketches of the working environment of an NBC sketch comedy show.

Most memorable performances from the show were delivered by characters like manipulative executive Jack Donaghey played by Alec Baldwin, and Liz Lemon portrayed by Tina Fey among many others. As we enter 2025, the actors who made viewers laugh for seven seasons have followed different careers.

The 1990s were a monumental decade for animation. Plenty of kids who came of age during this time fondly remember watching classics of the medium on their television sets while Disney was in the midst of another renaissance with the likes of "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King" gracing the big screen. That quality carried over into the 2000s with plenty of series that still proved animation was something that could be enjoyed by people of all ages.

The best 2000s cartoons primarily consist of those marketed toward kids, but there are a few adult animated shows gracing this list that were for a more (im)mature mindset. The main criteria for this list is that a show needs to have had its best episodes during the years from 2000 to 2009. That means even if something debuted during the '90s or carried over into the 2010s, as long...

Phineas and Ferb's signature brand of comedy naturally lent itself to several clever episodes that serve as standalone spoofs or parodies during its beloved four-season run. Phineas and Ferb's constant meta-humor is a staple part of the series' narrative, almost a kid-friendly version of the referential comedy largely established by The Simpsons. The cartoon which is one of Disney Channel's best sitcoms is also highly formulaic, with the same basic plot of the boys building something impossible and their sister trying to show their mother playing out in almost every episode.

The structure is expected to continue into Phineas and Ferb season 5, which will revive the show after a decade. However, especially (but not entirely) in the later seasons, the showrunners veered away from regular days of summer for episodes typically set in a separate universe with parallel characters, with a storyline obviously replicating that of another property (one...

Phineas and Ferb is a beloved Disney Channel cartoon that, for many, is impossible to replace — yet the showrunners themselves attempted that with at least one of the fan-favorite characters. The adventures of the tech-savvy stepbrothers, creating one impossible invention after another while their teenage sister desperately tries to show their mother what they have done, are amazingly clever and engaging despite its straightforward premise and formulaic plot. Even more bizarre is the B plot of the series, which follows their pet platypus fighting an incompetent evil scientist.

Perry the Platypus (whose "platypus sounds" are provided by Dee Bradley Baker) is doubtlessly one of the most iconic cartoon characters of the 21st century, if not in all of TV history. Fans are eager to see him again in Phineas and Ferb season 5, which will revive the show. While they wait out the final stretch of a 10-year hiatus, fans might...

The upcoming Pixar series Win or Lose has pulled an episode centered around a transgender character, the second time Disney has done this within a month. Win or Lose is set to debut in February and will follow a co-ed middle school softball team in the week leading up to their championship game, with each episode centered on the point of view of a different character, including players, parents, and the coach. However, one episode of the series will not make it to air, as Disney has made a controversial decision to remove the episode due to its subject matter.

Disney has decided to remove an episode of Win or Lose that would have centered on a transgender character, according to Deadline.

The Hunger Games series has become extremely popular and iconic. More than 100 million of the books have been sold, and a sixth movie is currently in development. The dark and thrilling stories in the series have captivated audiences by showing an oppressed society where children are forced to fight each other in televised games.

However, Suzanne Collins, the author of The Hunger Games, didn't just publish the series right as she graduated from college. She began her career in a much different way, writing lighthearted TV shows for children, as well as a few animated movies. While working on the shows, Collins helped get the inspiration she needed to write The Hunger Games.

Disney's beloved cartoon Phineas and Ferb follows the titular brothers, voiced by Vincent Martella and Thomas Brodie Sangster, as they vow to spend each summer off from school inventing extravagant new things, breaking records, and going on wild adventures. All the while, Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus, Perry, is living a double life as a secret agent constantly battling the dimwitted wannabe villain Dr. Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire). The gag is, the boys' mother is constantly aloof to her sons' adventures.

Even after a number of the show's other characters learn of the brothers' fantastical adventures, the boys' mother, Linda Flynn-Fletcher (Caroline Rhea) continues to live in her own world. The Phineas and Ferb matriarch is often spotted spending time with their dad and on the phone with her friends. When the boys cover up some of their rule-breaking ways, she typically buys into their excuses but come on, she should have known better.

Recently, there has been an explosion in the number of old childrens shows being revived for a newer audience, the latest one being Phineas and Ferb. The new season of Phineas and Ferb is set to premiere in 2025, with most of the original voice cast set to reprise their roles from the shows first run. Although Phineas and Ferb worked well because of the strict episode structure of the show, there is something that needs to change in the upcoming reboot. This change needs to be the role Candace plays in the series.

Candace was a popular Phineas and Ferb character when the show began in 2007. However, her role always revolved around the male characters in her life. Her main aim was always to bust her brothers for their antics of making dangerous inventions. When she wasnt obsessing over her brothers, she was obsessing over her Jeremy, swooning over him...

The Phineas and Ferb revival must address one strange, loose plot thread from the series' original run, regarding Candace's (Ashley Tisdale) best friend Stacy (Kelly Hu), who stumbles upon the series-long Perry the Platypus bombshell with no one else knowing. Phineas and Ferb follows two main plotlines: Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (Thomas Bordie-Sangster/David Errigo Jr.) building wild contraptions with Candace vehemently trying to show them to their mother, while their pet does battle with evil scientist Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire). A regular set of characters always participate in these adventures, including the ever-sarcastic and occasionally clueless Stacy.

Stacy's storyline is most often tied up with Candace; as the long-suffering best friend, Stacy either begrudgingly helps or quietly excuses herself once Candace is caught up with the day's attempt to show Linda (Caroline Rhea) the truth. However, in addition to featuring some linear storylines, Phineas and Ferb...

The revival of Phineas and Ferb was recently teased at New York Comic Con with the reveal of a surprisingly detailed poster that calls back to one of the show's classic episodes. Phineas and Ferb ran for four seasons over eight years on Disney Channel, becoming a popular series with immensely clever metatextual humor. The show has been on hiatus for nearly a decade, broken up by the release of a spinoff movie in 2020. Phineas and Ferb season 5 is expected in 2025, with the broad Phineas and Ferb timeline continuing as it did before.

Fans are in for another summer of Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (David Errigo Jr.) creating bizarre new inventions, to the chagrin of their sister Candace (Ashley Tisdale), while their pet platypus Perry does battle with the evil Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire). The setup for the revival shows that the Phineas and Ferb creators understand the...

Disney's popular animated series Phineas and Ferb is returning for a brand-new fifth season soon, and there's already a lot to know about the cartoon's revival. Airing for four seasons between 2007 and 2015, the series concerns step-brothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, who spend their summer vacation concocting elaborate and sometimes dangerous schemes. While dodging their controlling older sister Candace, the two are unaware that their pet platypus, Perry, is actually a secret agent tasked with foiling the plans of the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz. With its strange and playful concept, Phineas and Ferb stood apart from Disney's other fare.

Despite being somewhat short-lived (considering its huge cultural appeal), Phineas and Ferb lived on through feature films, video games, and even a small presence in Disney theme parks as well. Hope for a revival has been high since the show's conclusion in 2015, and though it took a while to get going, season 5 is finally in the offing.

Ahead of this years much-anticipated Phineas and Ferb Season 5, the series creators have released teaser art from the show. Per Variety, the animated series co-creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff Swampy Marsh were also scheduled to reveal more information about the upcoming season at a panel at New York Comic-Con. The shows fourth season concluded in 2015.

Phineas and Ferb which follows step-brothers and their adventures during their 104 days of summer vacation, was created by Povenmire and Jeff Swampy Marsh and first premiered in 2008. In 2023, Season 5, which will have 40 episodes, was green-lit by Disney.

The series also spawned two feature films, the first of which premiered in 2011: Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension. 2020 brought with it the second movie, Phineas and Ferb: The Movie: Candace Against the Universe.

Netflix is widely considered the grandfather of streaming services. However, its popularity has taken a hit in recent years, as October 2023's price increase saw the Basic plan rise to $11.99/month in the U.S., and 2024 is expected to see more of the same. Still, this mainly seems to have affected its reputation, as its crackdown on password sharing last year actually resulted in millions of new subscribers.

Subscribers are joining or staying primarily due to the vast catalog of movies and TV shows available. Netflix is also constantly adding new properties, including Netflix originals, so the promise of more is worth the cost for many. Sometimes, though, the licensing for an existing property expires. Or, if a contract is up for renegotiation, they have to make the tough decision to let something go for one reason or another. That's what's happening behind the scenes when your favorite show or movie vanishes from the site.

During a Disney Television Animation presentation at the Annecy International Film Festival, called “40 Years of Disney Television Animation: Past, Present and Future,” the original show creators of “Phineas and Ferb,” Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh, discussed the plans for the new 40-episode series.

In the discussion, we learned that the new episodes will take place one year after the first four seasons, and they are trying to make the new episodes feel as close to the original episodes as possible, which is smart.
