‘AN.T. Farm’ is coming to Disney’s streaming platform 

We’ve finally got it. It’s not exactly easy being in a program for super-smart kids. There are, however, a lot of perks. Viewers learn that firsthand thanks to the Disney Channel series, A.N.T. Farm, which takes viewers inside the halls of high school. Now, this series is officially making the switch to Disney’s streaming platform, titled Disney+.

“A.N.T Farm is officially coming to Disney+,” China Anne McClain shared in an Instagram video with Jake Short, which was met with over 40,000 likes in just a few days. A number of followers shared their excitement in the comments section. That includes some A.N.T. Farm cast members.

“That guy looks like he needs a shave and a haircut,” Jake Short joked in the comments section. Every episode of this Disney Channel original series will debut on Disney’s streaming platform on June 26.

‘A.N.T. Farm’ was originally a Disney Channel original series

Originally released during 2011, this Disney Channel original series features members in one school’s “Advanced Natural Talents” program, also known as the A.N.T. Farm. One of those students was teenager Chyna Parks, portrayed by Descendants 2’s China Anne McClain. Other actors in the series include Jake Short.

According to Pirates and Princesses, “the show had 62 episodes, and three special episodes, over 3 seasons,” which makes it comparable to Disney Channel original series’ including Sonny With a Chance and Liv and Maddie. All three seasons will be added to Disney’s streaming platform during June.

This A.N.T. Farm-related announcement comes hot off the heels of the Artemis Fowl trailer, an original movie that will also be available on Disney’s streaming platform. Other movies featuring China Anne McClain are already available for binge-watching. That includes Descendants 2 and Descendants 3, where the actress portrayed Ursula’s daughter, named Uma.
