Premise
11 year old Johnny Test is a suburban boy who resides in the fictional town of Porkbelly in North America. He is often used as a test subject for his genius sisters Susan and Mary’s inventions and experiments, whether these are gadgets or superpowers. Their experiments always cause problems that Johnny and his dog Dukey must resolve and they sometimes fight villains and save the world with their inventions in the process.
On June 11, 2013, Teletoon and Cartoon Network both announced the series' renewal for a seventh season consisting of 13 episodes and a three-part special. However, in response to a tweet on June 25, 2015, voice actor James Arnold Taylor stated that he wasn't aware of any plans for more seasons.[5]
In January 2020, WildBrain announced that their Vancouver studio was hiring for a new Johnny Test project separate from a planned series of new Johnny Test web shorts (the first of which was released on May 2, 2020, but later made private). On May 6, 2020, WildBrain confirmed the series had been picked up by Netflix for two more seasons and a 66-minute interactive special set for release in 2021, with Fellows returning as showrunner and executive producer.[6] [7] In June 2021, it was announced that most of the main cast would reprise their respective roles.[8]
The music for the reboot was composed by Guy Moon, who previously worked on Fellows' live action shows Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Big Time Rush and 100 Things to Do Before High School.
