Legendary satirist and Grammy Award-winning recording artist Al Yankovic (“Weird Al”) voices the title role in “Milo Murphy’s Law,” a new animated adventure comedy series premiering Monday October 3rd, 8pm EDT, on Disney XD. From the creators of “Phineas and Ferb“, Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh the series follows 13-year-old Milo Murphy, the fictional great-great-great-great grandson of the Murphy’s Law namesake. Milo embodies all that is Murphy’s Law, where anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
A full-length preview of the first episode will be available on the Disney XD app, Disney XD’s YouTube Channel and Disney XD VOD platforms beginning Monday September 26th.
Born with Extreme Hereditary Murphy’s Law condition (EHML), a trait that has affected the men in the Murphy family for generations, Milo is always expecting the unexpected. No matter what goes wrong – and it constantly does – Milo is prepared for every possibility, armed with knowledge, a backpack of supplies, and an endless sense of optimism and enthusiasm that can turn any catastrophe into an adventure. In each 22-minute episode, comprised of two 11-minute stories, Milo, along with his best friends Zack and Melissa, find ways to think outside of the box while enjoying life’s obstacles.
Starring with Yankovic are Sabrina Carpenter and MeKai Curtis as Milo’s best friends Melissa Chase and Zack Underwood, respectively. Yankovic also performs the series’ theme song and other songs throughout the series.
