Disney Channel’s #1 TV Show, Big City Greens, has been renewed for a fourth season, and will also get their very own movie musical set for the network and Disney+.
What’s Happening:
- Chris and Shane Houghton, the creators and executive producers of the animated comedy Big City Greens, Disney’s #1 show, will join the echelon of format-leaping creative talent as their popular series spins off a movie musical for Disney Channel and Disney+.
- Big City Greens also received a fourth season order from Disney Channel, tallying more than 100 episodes for the Daytime Emmy-winning and Annie Award-nominated comedy.
- The third season of Big City Greens continues on Saturday, Feb. 12 at 9:00 a.m. EST/PST), on Disney Channel. The third season kicked off late last year with a special Halloween episode that saw Tilly trying to help Bill, leading to an alien pumpkin takeover. The story arc brings a big change for the optimistic mischief-maker Cricket Green, who moved from the country to the big city with his wildly out of place family: hard-working father Bill, sweet-and-sour Gramma Alice and quirky older sister Tilly, who later in season three will participate in a rite of passage event, one that’s uniquely Green style. You can catch up with the first and second seasons available now on Disney+.
- The Houghton humor and creativity are also on display in two short-form Disney Channel series, Broken Karaoke and Random Rings. each featuring characters from Big City Greens.
- The series is influenced by the Houghton’s childhood in the small rural town of St. Johns, Michigan, with locations and characters inspired by their real-life family members and townsfolk and their experiences upon departing rural farmland for college in big cities. Big City Greens premiered in 2018, and in 2021, the Houghtons entered into an overall deal at Disney Television Animation.
- Big City Greens stars Chris Houghton as Cricket Green, Artemis Pebdani (Scandal, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) as Gramma Alice, Marieve Herington (How I Met Your Mother) as Tilly Green and Bob Joles (Puss in Boots) as Bill Green.
- Big City Greens is a production of Disney Television Animation and carries a TV-Y7 parental guideline.
