Disney is giving a major vote of confidence to its animated TV series Phineas & Ferb, picking up the show for a third season and preparing a Christmas special and CD release.

Speaking at the recent Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, Disney Channel entertainment president Gary Marsh suggested Phineas & Ferb will break out as the channel’s next worldwide hit franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Joining the show’s third season as a recurring cast member is Jack McBrayer, who plays Kenneth on NBC’s hit comedy series 30 Rock.

The 35-episode order will bring the series, which airs on both Disney Channel and Disney XD, to a total of 100 segments.

The series, co-created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, is the top-rated primetime animated show for children 6-11 and 9-14.
