Amphibia chronicles the adventures of 13-year-old Anne Boonchuy, who is magically transported to the fantastical world of Amphibia, a rural marshland full of frog-people. There she meets an excitable young frog named Sprig Plantar, his unpredictable sister Polly and overprotective grandpa Hop Pop. With Sprig's help, Anne will transform into a hero and discover the first true friendship of her life.
Production information
On February 23, 2018, Disney Channel greenlit the series, alongside The Owl House.[4] According to Matt Braly on a tweet, the development for Amphibia had taken "almost two years" before it was picked up in February 2018.
