Amphibia is an American animated series, created by Matt Braly. The series premiered on June 17, 2019, on Disney Channel and also premiered on Disney XD later that same year.

On May 15, 2019, ahead of the series premiere, Disney Channel renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on July 11, 2020.

On June 23, 2020, the series was renewed for a third and final season, ahead of the second season premiere. On Reddit, Matt stated that Amphibia would have three acts, which means that the third season will be the last season of the show.

Premise
"Amphibia chronicles the adventures of 13-year-old Anne Boonchuy, who is magically transported to the fantastical world of Amphibia, a rural marshland full of frog-people. There she meets an excitable young frog named Sprig Plantar, his unpredictable sister Polly and overprotective grandpa Hop Pop. With Sprig's help, Anne will transform into a hero and discover the first true friendship of her life."

Production information
On February 23, 2018, Disney Channel greenlit the series, alongside The Owl House.
