Ryan & Beth is a 2023 animated television series created by Xavier Mosley and developed by Hugh Davidson and Rachel Ramras, former writers of The Looney Tunes Show.

The first season officially premieres on Disney Channel on February 26, 2023. The series moves to Disney XD for its second season, which is its last season as it ends with a 45-minute episode on May 17, 2026.

The series is produced by Paramount Television Animation; being the first ever Paramount property in collaboration with Disney since Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Premise
The series centers around the titular characters Ryan Ferd (Xavier Mosley) and Beth Percy (Eden Sher) living in a house as roommates, and going about their lives outside their house either socializing with their neighbors and friends or go around special places in the town of Delmar.

Original concept
Creator Xavier Mosley originally had this as a spin-off of his scrapped franchise Ferret. But on December 28, 2018, he'd decided to have the show separate from his franchise.

Before doing so, he had the idea before bringing it out. The universe was originally to be in Beth's dreams/thoughts/imagination, which was in a dream Mosley had. That idea however was dropped.

He was to have the "actual" human characters appear in the series, such as Mable, who is the owner of Ryan and Beth who was to be a mother figure and a guardian to them. However, the human characters from the reality universe were dropped out of the series.

One of Mosley's inspirations of having the characters human was looking at "Garfield the Human" art by VampireMeerkat.[1 ][2 ][3 ]
