Legendary satirist and Grammy-winning artist Al Yankovic (a.k.a. Weird Al) is voicing the title role in Milo Murphy’s Law, a new animated comedy series premiering Monday, October 3 at 8 p.m. ET on Disney XD. The 2D series of two-part 22 minute episodes comes from creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh (of Emmy-winning Phineas and Ferb fame). Yankovic also performs the show’s theme song and other tunes throughout the series.
Ahead of the broadcast premiere, digital viewers can catch a full-length preview of the first episode on the Disney XD app, Disney XD’s YouTube Channel, and Disney XD VOD platforms beginning Monday, September 26.
The show centers on 13-year-old Milo Murphy (voiced by Al Yankovic), the great-great-great-great grandson of the coiner of Murphy’s Law: “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” Born with Extreme Hereditary Murphy’s Law condition (EHML), 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. With his best friends Zack (MeKai Curtis) and Melissa (Sabrina Carpenter), Milo can turn any catastrophe into an adventure.
