Each day, two kindhearted suburban stepbrothers on summer vacation embark on some grand new project, which annoys their controlling sister, Candace, who tries to bust them. Meanwhile, their pet platypus plots against evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Phineas and Ferb recap
Stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher are determined to make every day of their summer vacation in Danville count, so they build something enormous: a roller coaster, a time machine, a beach in the backyard. Their older sister Candace spends each episode trying to bust them to their mother Linda, but by the time Mom looks, the project has vanished. That is usually thanks to Perry, the family's pet platypus, who is secretly Agent P of the O.W.C.A. and whose fight with the inept evil scientist Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz knocks it away. Isabella, who has a crush on Phineas, Baljeet and Buford are always around. Across four seasons, from 2007 to 2015, the formula stays the same, with the film Across the 2nd Dimension (2011) revealing Perry's secret to the boys before their memories are wiped.
Phineas and Ferb ending explained
The original finale, "Last Day of Summer" (2015), has Candace set off Doofenshmirtz's Do-Over-Inator, sending the last day into a loop that starts to erase things from existence, including her brothers; she saves the day by throwing a spoon at the device's self-destruct button. Candace Against the Universe followed on Disney+ in 2020, and a revival began in 2025, with its sixth season starting in October 2026.
