Ryan & Beth is a 2023 animated television series created by Xavier Mosley. The first season officially premieres on Disney Channel on February 26, 2023. The series moves to Disney XD for its second season.

Premise

Production

Original concept

Creator Xavier Mosley originally had this as a spin-off of his scrapped franchise Ferret. But on December 28, 2018, he 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]

Animation

The first season is animated by Rough Draft Korea, followed by the following seasons animated by Sugarcube.
