Could Hamster And Gretel Also Have Been Cancelled By Disney Channel?

Hamster & Gretel is an American animated superhero comedy television series created by Phineas and Ferb co-creator Dan Povenmire that premiered on Disney Channel on August 12, 2022. It featured the voices of Michael Cimino, Beck Bennett, Joey King and Matt Jones.

It followed the life of a 16-year-old boy named Kevin must work with his sister Gretel when she and her pet hamster are given superpowers by aliens and become a superhero duo dedicated to protecting their city.

The first premiered on August 12, 2022 on Disney Channel initially commissioned for 20 episodes got 10 additional episodes bringing it to 30. By June 2023, a second season was announced as part of an overall deal with Dan Povenmire and Disney Branded Television. 

During the week, Disney attended Annecy International Animation Film Festival where a lineup of content was unveiled including The Doomies and Kindergarten: The Musical. It was also there where it was revealed the production of a fifth season to Big City Greens.

Disney also announced a third season to Kiff on their social platforms and quietly removed any mentions of the show. Similar to Hailey's On It, speculation is going around that both Kiff and Hamster And Gretel will end after their current seasons. 

Both shows were renewed as part of an overall deal with Disney Branded Television and weren't part of Annecy like Big City Greens. With Dan Povenmire open to doing a crossover between Hamster And Gretel and Phineas And Ferb if a third season is considered. 

According to insiders, the reason Disney Channel has been canceling shows or slowly renewals has to do with the effects of the actor's strikes. The fate of these shows is dependant on their ratings through Disney+ as more households abandon linear TV.
