List of Phineas and Ferb episodes

The fourth and last season of Phineas and Ferb first aired on Disney Channel on December 7, 2012, and December 31, 2012, for Disney XD. The season features two step-brothers trying to make every day the best day ever, while their sister tries to bust them.

Production

On August 25, 2011, the series was renewed for a fourth season as part of a deal between Dan Povenmire, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, and Disney, along with a feature film and possible spin-off. On November 9, 2011, the season was officially picked up, with new episodes rolling out until 2014.

Disney, the owner of Marvel Entertainment since 2009, announced that the Marvel heroes, Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor would appear on a crossover episode, which premiered on August 16, 2013.

On February 15, 2014, it was announced that work on this season was complete and the show will go on an indefinite hiatus. However, Dan Povenmire mentioned the crew was now working on new episodes. In a July 2014 article on The Daily Beast, Povenmire said they were finishing up 20 episodes that have yet to air.

The episode Doof 101 was intended as a backdoor pilot for a spin-off series that focused on Dr. Doofenshmirtz becoming a high school science teacher, but was not picked up.

On May 7, 2015, it was announced that the series has wrapped and the final episode titled Last Day of Summer would air on June 12, 2015. A stand-alone special titled The OWCA Files aired on November 9, 2015, on Disney XD and on January 15, 2016, on Disney Channel.
