Disney will debut its original animated comedy series The Replacements on Disney Channel on Friday, Sept. 8, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT). A production of Walt Disney Television Animation, the show, about tween siblings who use a mysterious agency to replace the adults in their lives will then settle into its regular time slot on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 8 p.m.
In The Replacements, orphans Riley and Todd come across a comic book ad for the Fleemco Co. which promises a new set of parents for $1.98. Their quirky new family consists of a British international spy mom named Agent K, a daredevil dad named Dick Daring and C.A.R.T.E.R., a cynical talking spy car who used to be Agent K’s partner. Riley and Todd soon realize that they can replace any adult in their life simply by making a call to Fleemco owner Conrad Fleem. The series is created by children’s author and illustrator Dan Santat (The Guild of Geniuses) and is exec-produced by Jack Thomas The Fairly OddParents and directed by Heather Martinez (SpongeBob SquarePants).
Nancy Cartwright, better known as the voice of Bart Simpson, will voice Todd in the series while Grey Delisle (The Fairly OddParents) lends his voice to Riley. The voice cast also includes Kath Soucie (Pooh’s Heffalump Movie) as Agent K, Daran Norris (Veronica Mars) as Dick Daring, David McCallum (N.C.I.S.) as C.A.R.T.E.R, Lauren Tom (King of the Hill) as Tasumi and Jeff Bennett (Lilo & Stitch: The Series) as Shelton. The show’s main title theme is perfromed by power pop band The Wondermints, whose previous screen credits include the Austin Powers films.
