Big City Greens
Big City Greens is an American animated television series created by The Houghton Brothers that premiered on Disney Channel on June 18, 2018. The series follows the Green family—siblings Cricket and Tilly, their father Bill, and their Gramma Alice—as they navigate life in the bustling, fictional Big City after moving from their countryside home. Among the supporting characters are Cricket's best friend Remy, the children's mother and Bill's ex-wife Nancy, and their family friend Gloria.
The series features the voices of co-creator Chris Houghton, Marieve Herington, Bob Joles, Artemis Pebdani, Zeno Robinson, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Mike Nancy and Anna Akana. In March 2016, Disney XD picked it up for production under the title of Country Club; it had later been renamed to Big City Greens by July 2017. The series is produced by Disney Television Animation, with executive producers including creators Chris and Shane Houghton, alongside Rob Renzetti, Stephen Sandoval, and Anna O'Brian.
The series has received positive reviews from critics for its comedy, characters, and central family dynamic. The fourth season concluded in August 2025, and a fifth season was ordered in June 2024.
A film titled Big City Greens the Movie: Spacecation also premiered in June 2024. A spin-off animated series is in development.
After losing his farm in the country town of Smalton, Bill Green and his two children, Cricket and Tilly, move in with his mother, Alice Green (Gramma), who lives on a small farm in the middle of a city known as "Big City". They have different misadventures there and occasionally contend with a crooked supermarket manager named Chip Whistler. Major recurring characters include Cricket's friend Remy Remington and café worker Gloria Sato.
By the second half of season three, Bill moves his family back to Smalton after regaining his farm. Starting in season four, Cricket, Tilly, and Bill balance between going back and forth from Big City to Smalton, where Nancy, Bill's ex-wife and the mother of Cricket and Tilly, manages the farm.
The series was pitched in 2012. On March 4, 2016, Disney XD greenlit the series under the title of Country Club. The series is created by the brothers Chris and Shane Houghton, who originally worked on Nickelodeon's Harvey Beaks. Chris Houghton also worked as a storyboard artist on Gravity Falls with Rob Renzetti. The series was later renamed to Big City Greens on July 21, 2017. The show's animation is done entirely in traditional pen and paper as opposed to digital ink, although the colors are still done digitally. Animation is done overseas by Korean animation studios Rough Draft Korea and Sugarcube. The theme song was written and performed by The Mowgli's, and on July 28, 2017, a sneak peek of it was revealed at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con and was uploaded to Disney XD's YouTube channel on the same day. On June 7, 2018, it was reported that Disney Channel had ordered a second season of Big City Greens ahead of the series' debut. On October 7, 2019, it was announced that the second season would premiere on November 4, 2019; however, it got pushed back to November 16, 2019. On January 13, 2021, the series was renewed for a third season. On January 21, 2022, the series was renewed for a fourth season, which premiered on September 23, 2023. On June 11, 2024, the series was renewed for a fifth season.
During production for the first season, an episode titled "Hands-On History" was in development, with the production number 110. The episode was directed by Monica Ray, from a story by Carson Montgomery, also being written and storyboarded by Caldwell Tanner and Cheyenne Curtis. It featured Mark Hamill in the role of Dr. Ponderstein, a sinister curator who ran a museum. The plot focused on Cricket and Remy at odds with one another, over Ponderstein's method of educating children. The episode was shelved when the Houghton Brothers found Remy's behavior in the episode unlikeable - they could not find a way to make the story work so early in the show's run. On cancelling the episode, co-creator Chris Houghton stated, "[W]e killed that episode for the best of reasons: it just didn’t work. We broke and re-broke the story a ton of times. Reboarded it again and again. Sometimes the best course of action is to take your creation out behind the shed, ya know?" Despite prior claims, the episode was revived for season four as "Rehashed History".
