The Disney XD original series I’m In The Band will be returning for Season 2. Season one ended production some time ago, so I’m glad to see Disney channel’s Gary Marsh formally announce the new season today. Now if they’d only do the same for Wizards…
I think I’m In The Band is a decent series. I’ve only seen six episodes so far, but I’m looking forward to seeing more. The creators have developed a unique premise for a show, and assembled a perfect cast to pull it off.
Official Disney Press release follows:
COMEDY SERIES “I’M IN THE BAND” STRIKES A CHORD
WITH A SECOND SEASON ORDER ON DISNEY XDA second season of “I’m In The Band,” a music-filled, live-action comedy series about a teenager who realizes his wildest dream when he joins his favorite “vintage” rock band, has been ordered by Disney XD, it was announced today by Gary Marsh, president, Entertainment, and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide. Production will resume in June in Hollywood, California.
The new season finds the band inching their way closer to an epic comeback and includes a one-hour special where Tripp joins arch-rival rock band Metal Wolf. Iron Weasel attempts to lure him back during Metal Wolf’s performance at the Super Bowl, and by happenstance, ends up stealing the spotlight.
“I’m In The Band’s” February 2010 premiere is Disney XD’s No. 1 series premiere on record in Total Viewers and Tweens 9-14, and the net’s No. 1 live-action series premiere ever across core kid and boy demos: Kids 6-14, Boys 6-14, Kids 6-11, Boys 6-11 and Tween Boys. The multi-camera comedy is from creators Michael B. Kaplan (“Frasier,” “Girlfriends”) and Ron Rappaport (“Date My Mom”) and is executive-produced by Kaplan and Richard Gurman (“Married…with Children,” “Still Standing”).
The series stars Logan Miller as Tripp Campbell, Steve Valentine as Derek Jupiter, Greg Baker as Burger Pitt, Stephen Full as Ash and Caitlyn Taylor Love as Isabella “Izzy” Fuentes.
“I’m In The Band” follows Tripp Campbell as he joins his favorite “vintage” rock band, Iron Weasel, and becomes determined to help the band he idolizes make an epic comeback. He’s certainly got his work cut out for him with the trio of rock star misfits whose stars have fallen so far that they can’t even afford their own housing and are forced to share bunk beds in a guest room at Tripp’s house. Nonetheless, in their own off the wall way, the three stooges will do their best to help Tripp steer through his teenage years with the goal of turning him into a bona fide rock star and giving him the chance to live out his dream.
The series is produced by It’s A Laugh Productions and carries a TV-Y7 parental guideline.
Never heard of the show before…
And is iron weasel supposed to be a parody of my fvorite band Iron Maiden??? LOLLOL
Yup it’s a parody.
But I watch this show and like it. So for me I’m glad it’s renewed. Back in Feb, I think, when this show premiered it drew the highest rating of DXD and is still one of DXD’s top shows behind Zeke&Luther; these two shows do well on the channel.
NM, you gotta watch some Disney XD! (Or download the episodes online. Whatever)
I have disney XD, but i only use it to watch wowp or hm when some boring cartoon is on disney channel.
hi! guys i like your band and you guys are so cute and pogi?
Mikhaela, by “pogi” did you mean cute in tagalog?
Never mind you like Iron Maiden, I grew up listening to that band. There awesome, specially the guitar work on “Afraid to shoot strangers”
You should also check out Lordi “Red blood sandman” & Edguy “We don’t need a hero” there great bands almost the same style as Iron Maiden.
Haven’t seen “I’m in the band” but if they rock like Iron Maiden, I’m suddenly intrested to see this.
I suppose Iron weasel is some imtation..i’ll see this one.
It’s an interesting series.
Plus I think the girl’s cute. But that’s to be expected. LOL
Okay, due to everyone’s possitive comments of I’m in the band I checked the series out.
It was alright, not ground breaking great, but If you watch all Disney shows you’d love to see this too.
But for me what realy caught me was that Weasels rock you song. I can’t get it out of my head. I’m still playin the song as i’m writing this comment.
awesome show disney xd rocks but naruto shippuden is edited but beside that it rocks
dude, i love this show. That lead singer in this show can really sing. i laugh every time i see this. this is almost as funny as Gene Simmons Family Jewels and that’s a lot coming from a major KISS fan!!
My favorites are Derrik and Ash. I seen them on tv shows but i didn’t recognize them. They are two of my favorite actors and the british one is cute.
Hope Disney uses it head and renews for a third season. My boys love this show and so do I. We rarely watch Disney at all, but for this, we always tune in.
