Get ready to take off across the galaxy in Disney Channel's new animated adventure comedy series "Wander Over Yonder," created and executive-produced by two-time Emmy Award-winning animator Craig McCracken ("Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends," "The Powerpuff Girls"). The new comedy follows best friends, eternally-optimistic intergalactic traveler and constant do-gooder Wander and his quick-tempered but loyal steed Sylvia. Together, they travel through the cosmos happening upon one freewheeling adventure after another, making new friends (and foes) all while battling numerous forces of evil, including the infamous Lord Hater and his army of Watchdogs. A first-look telecast of the new comedy will air FRIDAY, AUGUST 16 (9:00 p.m., ET/PT), immediately following the premiere of "Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel" (8:00 p.m. ET/PT). The series will premiere FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 (9:00 p.m. ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

"Wander Over Yonder" voice cast stars Jack McBrayer ("30 Rock," "Wreck-It Ralph," "Phineas and Ferb") as free-spirited Wander, April Winchell ("Mickey Mouse Clubhouse") as Wander's true-blue stallion and best friend Sylvia, Tom Kenny ("SpongeBob SquarePants") as Commander Peepers, the leader of the Watchdog Army, and Keith Ferguson ("Gravity Falls," "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends") as evil villain Lord Hater. Series guest stars include James Marsden ("X-Men"), Aziz Ansari ("Parks and Recreation") and Edie McClurg ("Wreck-It Ralph").

The multi-platform schedule is as follows:

Friday, August 16
