Can Disney Channel keep anything on the air lately? It doesn’t seem like it. Their latest animated series, StuGo, appeared on the cable network last January and ran through its initial order of forty episodes over the next six months. It was not placed on Disney+ until July, and might’ve benefited from an earlier appearance than that. Too late to know for sure!

StuGo is about six geeky middle schoolers who take a suspiciously all-expenses-paid trip to a remote island, believing it’s an academic summer camp. In reality, they’ve been lured into a trap by the mad scientist Dr. Lullah, who wants their involuntary help with the monsters she’s created. But they don’t seem to mind any of this at all, so maybe it IS voluntary! “What started as three months of learning transforms into an adventure of a lifetime on a tropical island filled with mind-reading manatees, giant fighting fungi and fashion-forward mutants,” reads the official description.

StuGo was created by Ryan Gillis, who based the series on his experiences growing up among the colorful wildlife (and colorful human life) of southern Florida. The show’s contributors included Sunil Hall (Gravity Falls) as co-executive producer and Craig Lewis (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends) as story editor. Titmouse provided animation duties.

“Sad but expected news — we just got the official word that we won’t be making more StuGo after all,” Gillis said in a letter posted to his social media channels. “I wish we could’ve showed off some of the ideas we had in store for S2 (spider jockeys, whale lasagna, electric mouth orallariums (NOTE: spellcheck says this isn’t a word), spectral mules) but I feel lucky and grateful that we got to make the 40 episodes we did.”

“Thank you so much to everybody who watched this show!” Gillis continued. “Seeing y’alls reactions to the characters and their caperin’ has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career.”

The existing episodes of StuGo are still in reruns on the Disney Channel and can be seen at any time on Disney+.
