StuGo

StuGo is an American animated television series created by Ryan Gillis. The series revolves around a group of gifted middle schoolers who find themselves in a mysterious island in the Caribbean inhabited by the mad scientist Dr. Lullah, who brought them there under the guise of spending time at an academic summer camp. A co-production between Disney Television Animation and Titmouse, Inc., StuGo premiered on Disney Channel on January 11, 2025.

Despite cancellation rumors, showrunner Ryan Gillis confirmed the series is still ongoing.

Six gifted middle schoolers are invited to a mysterious island in the Caribbean for what they believe is a prestigious summer camp. However, they soon discover that the camp is a ruse orchestrated by Dr. Lullah, a mad scientist who lives on the island. Unable to leave for three months, they must navigate the island's dangerous flora and fauna, much of which has been created by Lullah.

In 2019, Ryan Gillis pitched to Disney Television Animation a series inspired by the time he took a study-abroad course during college, in which they were free to do as they wanted outside of class. The series was greenlit in 2022, with production starting in 2023. Gillis settled on the title StuGo after finding it on Google and feeling it fit with the show's themes.

StuGo was announced on June 13, 2023. The series is produced by Titmouse, Inc. and directed by Hannah Ayoubi, Erica Jones, and Steve Wolfhard. Gillis serves as the executive producer along with Hall, while Craig Lewis is story editor.

Amidst the rumors that the show is cancelled, Gillis states that the show is ongoing and all eyes will be on the series' Disney+ performance.

The series focuses primarily on episodic storytelling, with the writers wanting each episode to "stand on its own" as a way to provide further access to audiences, while also incorporating continuity and world building across the episodes. Gillis wanted the humor to focus primarily on knowing more about the characters, with a lot of the humor centering on the friction between the cast as they deal with their current situation.

During the series' announcement, it was reported that Tania Gunadi, Zosia Mamet, Gabourey Sidibe, Charlyne Yi, Zach Reino, Deborah Baker Jr., and Lorraine Toussaint would compose its main cast, with Jake Green announced as part of the cast in December 2024. The series occasionally features guest characters who were written with a particular actor in mind as an "archetype" for the character. Kristi Reed served as a voice director on the show.
