'Phineas and Ferb' is back after 10-year hiatus: See cast, how to watch new season
The hit Disney animated series is premiering a new season on June 5 after a decade-long hiatus.
The Emmy Award-winning show follows two geometrically-shaped stepbrothers during their summer escapades. From building a rocket to fighting a mummy, Phineas and Ferb seem to always find a good way to spend it.
The new season will also see the return of Perry the Platypus, the iconic animated pet who aims to thwart Dr. Doofenshmirtz's plans to take over the tristate area.
Some of the series' popular voices are returning for the new season. Here's everything to know.
The fifth season of "Phineas and Ferb" will kick off with two premiere episodes on Thursday, June 5, at 8 p.m. ET on Disney Channel and Disney XD.
The first episode will be available the same day on Disney Channel YouTube.
The season's first ten episodes will subsequently be released on Friday, June 6, on Disney+.
The show's new season promises several new milestones for the stepbrothers and their group of friends, according to a release from Disney.
During the season, Phineas and Ferb will break several world records, Candace will take her driver's license test and Perry the Platypus will finally make a trip to the vet, according to the release.
Of course, there will also be more catchy songs — the original soundtrack, which includes 13 songs, will be available on June 6 on streaming platforms, Disney said.
Early 2000s Disney Channel fans will surely feel a bit of nostalgia tuning into the latest season of "Phineas and Ferb," which will mark Ashley Tisdale's return to the network.
"Who knew yelling 'MOOOOM' would be a career highlight?" Tisdale wrote about her role as outspoken older sister Candace on Instagram. "20 years later and I'm still pinching myself. So grateful to be part of something this special - thank you to the fans who brought it back, kept it alive, and made it iconic."
In addition to Tisdale, Alyson Stoner will also be returning to play Isabella Garcia-Shapiro.
The voices behind titular characters Phineas and Ferb — Vincent Martella and David Errigo Jr, respectively — are also back for the new season.
Caroline Rhea is once again voicing Linda Flynn-Fletcher, and Dee Bradley Baker will play Perry the Platypus.

Best The Princess Diaries Behind The Scenes Facts
First, Disney reportedly paid author Meg Cabot only $4,000 for the rights to The Princess Diaries back in 1999, with the book being published in 2000. At the time, Cabot was working at NYU as a supervisor in a girls' dorm. Debra Martin Chase and Whitney Houston, who had recently produced Cinderella together in 1997 (with Houston also starring in it), were the ones who pursued the rights to the book after the manuscript landed on their desks. According to Cabot, her editor got a promotion at her job after Disney optioned The Princess Diaries. Apparently, before that, publishers had no interest in publishing more than the first book in the series. As production got rolling, Cabot told the Guardian that she was then getting checks for "low-to-mid hundreds of thousands" from Disney. From the start, there were numerous changes suggested for the film adaptation. Meg Cabot recalled getting a call from Disney, saying, "We're really sorry, but in the movie we're going to kill off the father, [because] Julie Andrews wants to play the grandmother, but she doesn't have enough lines so we're going to kill the dad and give her all the dead dad's lines. Is that OK?" Cabot recalled telling them, "Julie Andrews, yeah, you can kill the dad, whatever you have to do!" The setting was also moved from New York City to San Francisco because director Garry Marshall was reportedly living in California alongside his family and grandchildren at the time, and he requested that production be there so he could still spend time with them. Julie Andrews was the only choice to play Queen Clarisse Renaldi, with Whitney Houston saying, "She's every little girl's dream ... She's our Cinderella. I know she belongs to England, but she's ours." Meanwhile, Garry Marshall, who was the only choice to direct the film, said, "Julie Andrews, a lady born to wear a tiara. She's very funny [too], so she knows where the jokes are and she's one of the great reactors." This was Andrews' first Disney movie since Mary Poppins. "The magic she gave to us as little girls, she continues to give to other generations," Debra Martin Chase said in an interview for the DVD extras. Scarlett Johansson, January Jones, and Emmy Rossum were some of the actors considered for the role of Mia Thermopolis. Juliette Lewis, Reese Witherspoon, Claire Danes, and more also reportedly turned down the role. Casting director Donna Morong recalled to Cosmopolitan that Anne was always "on [their] radar" but she wasn't immediately available to star in the movie. While casting the role of Mia Thermopolis, producer Debra Martin Chase said she kept saying they needed to find "the next Audrey Hepburn." Anne Hathaway only auditioned once for The Princess Diaries, with Garry Marshall and producers immediately falling in love with her. In the DVD extras for the movie, Hathaway recalled getting cast, saying, "Garry has two granddaughters, who at the time were five years old, and he showed them the audition tapes, and they decided I had the best princess hair." Speaking about finding Hathaway, Marshall said, "Anne Hathaway, for me, combines two people I love very much: Judy Garland and Harpo Marx. It's a strange combo she has, but she has those eyes that can swing me away from comedy to drama." He added, "Annie was really the only young girl who could do both sides of the story of Princess Diaries."Meanwhile, Julie Andrews said Hathaway reminded her of Audrey Hepburn and Julia Roberts. With The Princess Diaries being Anne Hathaway's first major movie role, producer Debra Martin Chase said Julie Andrews was always looking for ways to help teach Anne how a film set worked. Debra recalled to Cosmopolitan, "One day we filmed Julie's scenes first so she could leave, and Annie was going to do the rest of the scene with Julie's stand-in. Julie goes off, and a few minutes later she comes back in her robe and slippers with a cup of tea, and she's like, 'No, I'm going to read with Annie. I want her to learn how to do it right.'" Speaking about meeting Andrews for the first time, Hathaway said, "I was meeting my idol. I was meeting someone who I'd looked up to. And she was everything I had hoped she would be and more, because in addition to being Julie Andrews, she was also just Julie." Patrick Flueger originally auditioned for another character, but Garry Marshall wrote him a new (and bigger) part, which turned into creating Jeremiah Hart. Like Anne Hathaway, The Princess Diaries was Patrick's first major movie role. Patrick has since gone on to star as Adam Ruzek in Chicago P.D. for 12 seasons. The Princess Diaries was filmed on Stage 2 on the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, CA. It was the same stage where Julie Andrews filmed Mary Poppins in 1963. In 2001, just before The Princess Diaries was released in theaters, the stage was renamed "The Julie Andrews Soundstage," thus honoring her achievements in Disney films. At the soundstage's rededication ceremony, the Disneyland Band played music from Mary Poppins, with Dick Van Dyke, Richard Sherman, and Roy E. Disney speaking at the event, too. In his speech, Dyke said, "[Julie] is not only talented and graceful and beautiful, but royalty in every sense of the word."While filming The Princess Diaries, Marshall actually lived in the house that Andrews lived in while filming Mary Poppins. At the time Andrews lived there, the house was owned by Disney. However, Marshall had owned the house since 1974. While a majority of the movie was filmed on the Disney Studios lot, real San Francisco exteriors were used, too. Notably, Engine Company No. 43, the vintage firehouse that Mia and Helen (Caroline Goodall) live in, is real, and you can visit it. Production designer Mayne Berke said the team looked at all 25 of San Francisco's vintage fire houses before they settled on No. 43. The interior was recreated on the soundstage. Now, Engine 43 is an art studio, with the family who lives there now having resided in it since 2015. The ground floor serves as a studio, and it's a communal artists' space. The entire cast was obviously huge fans of Julie Andrews prior to filming, with Mandy Moore even revealing she asked her to sign a The Sound of Music CD when they first met on set. Moore told MTV, "I tapped her on the shoulder and was like, 'Excuse me, Miss Andrews, can you sign my CD?' and it was my little Sound of Music CD I'd had in my collection forever." Moore added, "She signed it, and I took a picture with her, and I was just so star-struck. She's so beautiful and so wonderful and amazing." The first two days of filming were when Anne Hathaway did all of the scenes before Mia's makeover, which happens in the middle of the film. In the DVD extras for The Princess Diaries, Hathaway recalled that she would hear extras whispering, "Why did she get the part? I'm so much better looking than her." When Hathaway eventually arrived on set in the post-makeover look, she said people didn't recognize her immediately. "My hair was done. My makeup was done, and people didn't recognize me. It was interesting," Hathaway explained. "But when we saw the way that people's reactions changed, Garry and I looked at each other and we said, 'Yup! We have a movie here. This is good.'" When Paolo (Larry Miller) breaks the hairbrush during Mia's makeover, Miller actually had to snap the brush during filming. Anne Hathaway told Vanity Fair, "They pre-broke the brush, and it was supposed to break kind of easily, but it didn't quite happen." Since the brush didn't break immediately, the final take includes Miller and Hathaway improvising, leading up to Miller finally breaking the brush. "I don't remember if the 'Ow' was real, or if I was just buying him some time," Hathaway added. "But the brush was being stubborn that day." When Mia and her mom, Helen, throw darts at balloons filled with paint, there was actually a prop master offscreen shooting the balloons with a BB gun so they would pop. Production designer Mayne Berke told Cosmopolitan that they didn't "test it beforehand" whether or not it would be easy for the actors to pop the balloons, and it ended up being harder than it looked. During dinner, when Mia breaks her champagne glass while trying to get everyone's attention, the waiter who says, "It happens all the time," is played by Allan Kent, who also had the same line in Pretty Woman when Vivian (Julia Roberts) flings a snail's shell across the room. Both The Princess Diaries and Pretty Woman were directed by Garry Marshall. Kent also appears in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and says the exact same thing when Mia's ring flies off her hand, and he appears as the footman who catches also appeared in Marshall's Runaway Bride. While René Auberjonois voices Philippe Renaldi, Mia's father, during the voiceover when Mia is reading his letter, Anne Hathaway's real dad, Gerald Hathaway, was used as the picture of Philippe that is seen in the film. Auberjonois was best known for playing Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Clayton Endicott III on Benson, and Paul Lewiston on Boston Legal. He died in 2019. Garry Marshall's daughter and granddaughters appear in The Princess Diaries. First, Kathleen Marshall plays Charlotte, Clarisse's secretary. Then, his twin granddaughters appear as the young girls who ask for Mia's autograph outside of school after her secret is revealed. Anne Hathaway's clutzy nature was something that was written into the script, and a lot of it was improvised on set. Notably, the moment when Lilly (Heather Matarazzo) and Mia are talking on the bleachers in the rain, and Mia slips and falls, was something that happened in the moment on set. In the DVD extras for the film, Garry Marshall said, "You know with Audrey Hepburn, Julia Roberts, they all have a certain quality, but [Anne] has the ability to fall down ... She tripped at the audition, fell off the chair. Julia falls pretty good. I have a theory that pretty girls who don't mind flying through the air actually have a better shot at success." Garry Marshall said he ran the set of The Princess Diaries "like a camp" because there were so many young people on set. For each holiday that happened while filming, he would do something special. For Halloween, they had a pumpkin carving contest. Marshall's assistants created his trailer out of a pumpkin, while the special effects department made their pumpkin explode. "My pumpkin was absolutely horrible," Anne Hathaway said in the DVD extras for the movie. "I cannot draw or do crafty things to save my life." For Thanksgiving, they had their own parade where Julie Andrews judged the contest. Anne Hathaway showed up dressed as Garry Marshall's Thanksgiving Day dinner table and won a prize, with Marshall calling it the "most original." Meanwhile, Marshall said that the "editing team went all out" for the parade, as they showed up in Genovian cars. And Hathaway recalled the grips making a "75-foot-tall snowman, complete with a Santa Claus on top." Julie Andrews helped production designer Mayne Berke design Queen Clarisse's rose garden. "Julie wanted to talk to me about all the sets. She said, 'You know I'm a rose aficionado,'" Berke told Cosmopolitan. Andrews was also consulted when it came to some of the royalty aspects of the movie. In 2000, the same year The Princess Diaries was filmed, Andrews was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II. "Julie helped out a lot," Anne Hathaway said in the DVD extras when explaining how they portrayed Mia turning into a princess. Garry Marshall added, "Julie is totally in charge on this picture. 'Is the flower this way?' 'What kind of fork is it?' 'Is this the right jewelry box?'" And finally, the tiara and jewelry Julie Andrews wears in the last scenes of the film reportedly consisted of $500,000 worth of diamonds, which were loaned to the production by jeweler Harry Winston. Andrews said a security guard was on standby and followed her around while she was wearing the diamonds. Both Queen Clarisse and Princess Mia's tiaras were custom-made for The Princess Diaries, with both now being preserved in the Walt Disney archives. Do you love all things TV and movies?

Why 'Wishbone' Was the 'Right Time' for Conan Gray to Depict a Queer Summer Romance in His Music Videos (Exclusive)
The pop star's fourth studio album 'Wishbone' released Friday, Aug. 15 NEED TO KNOW Conan Gray released his fourth studio album Wishbone on Aug. 15 The era also saw the pop star portray a queer love story over the course of three music videos with longtime friend and actor Corey Fogelmanis It's the first time the singer-songwriter has explicitly depicted queer themes in his visuals — and he tells PEOPLE why now felt like the "right time" If Conan Gray was going to fall in love on screen, he knew he had to be comfortable. It's why he enlisted the help of former Disney actor and decade-long friend Corey Fogelmanis to costar in a trilogy of music videos to accompany his fourth studio album Wishbone. 'I knew I couldn't do it with a stranger, and Corey was right there in my contacts list. I called him up, I said, 'Hey, Corey. Can we fall in love in a music video?' ' the 26-year-old pop star tells PEOPLE. 'I truly don't think I could have done it if it wasn't for [him].' Gravitating to what feels natural was Gray's mantra when crafting the world of Wishbone, a cathartic '90s-tinged record chronicling a devastating breakup. Released Friday, Aug. 15, the singer-songwriter's 12-track LP was a return to tradition: He penned most of the songs alone on a guitar, only listened to music he loved and collaborated with his first-ever producer and 'musical dad' Dan Nigro again. He even got back in touch with his Texan roots while creating the album, heading back to his hometown of Georgetown, Texas, to film the music videos for Wishbone's singles, 'This Song,' 'Vodka Cranberry' and 'Caramel.' 'In so many ways, this album is a confrontation and a reminder to myself of who I am and where I grew up and the dreams that I had when I was a kid,' he says. 'Just the person I've always been.' Still, Gray ventures into new territory in his latest era. For the trio of videos, Gray and Fogelmanis play Wilson and Brando, best friends who have a whirlwind summer romance full of emotional peaks and valleys — and a whole lot of kissing. He has never shied from queer themes in his songwriting. 'The Story' from his 2020 debut album Kid Krow references two boys who were best friends, 'but always wished they were more.' In 'Boys & Girls' from last year's Found Heaven, he writes about a love interest who's the object of both male and female attention. With Wilson and Brando, it's the first time Gray has explicitly depicted queer love in his visuals. 'It absolutely felt like the right thing,' says the 'Heather' singer of the choice to portray love between two boys. 'It's just an instinct that I had in me. I knew I wanted to tell a story of these two childhood friends falling in love. And, I don't know, it just felt like the right time.' He continued, 'It felt like a story that I wanted to see for myself. And so maybe it was a bit selfish, really. I just wanted to see a cute little summer romance.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In the wishbone superstition, two people make a wish while holding a bird's forked bone. When it breaks apart, the person who receives the larger half will have their desire granted, while the other walks away with nothing. Gray confesses that the last time he got the losing end of the metaphorical wishbone was when he began writing the album two years ago. Through making record and coming back to himself, his life and his perspective have transformed. 'I realized that somebody getting a short end of the stick is not entirely always true,' he explains. 'When you lose something, oftentimes it's actually just a reallocation or a little nudge into the right direction in life, but you don't even realize you were in the wrong direction.' He says, 'I felt like I'd lost something, but ultimately ended up finding something that was so much more me and so much more what I was supposed to have versus what I wanted.' Wishbone is out on all streaming platforms. Read the original article on People
