Make way for the Wasabi Warriors as they karate chop into the third season of Kickin’ It on Disney XD. Premiering Saturday, May 11 at 7 p.m. ET, the martial arts comedy series revolves around a group of friends who train and compete at the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy. In honour of the one-hour premiere event, Disney XD is kicking it in to high gear all weekend long with two full-days of ninja action on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12 from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET.
In the premiere episode titled “Spyfall,” a government agent mistakenly identifies Falafel Phil as an international spy whose target is a visiting prince. Jack takes on the role of a secret agent, making it his mission to thwart the real spy. Then, in “Dueling Dojos,” Jack steps up and assumes more of a leadership role at the dojo when Sensei Rudy is asked to babysit for a few days, but runs into trouble when Jerry has trouble adjusting to Jack’s new regime.
Kickin’ It season three continues to follow the Bobby Wasabi crew as they face bigger opponents, embark on new challenges and kick it at the dojo. It also features a special guest appearance by two-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas. Following the premiere, new episodes of Kickin’ it will air Saturdays at 5:30 p.m. ET, part of an action-packed Saturday night line-up that includes Lab Rats, Phineas and Ferb andCrash & Bernstein.
