The show follows the adventures ofBilly Dilley (Aaron Springer), a 7th grader who loves science, and his lab partners,Zeke (Tom Kenny) and Marsha (Catie Wayne), who on summer vacation find themselves trapped in a strange world located in theEarth's core.
The show was first announced in 2014 as a potential pilot.[3] In March 2016, it was confirmed that Disney XD has greenlit the show for a full series.[2]
In 2015,Merriwether Williams was confirmed in aTwitter post byVincent Waller as one of the show's writers, whilst character designerRobertryan Cory announced on hisFacebook page he has been working on the series for over a year before the pickup was officially sealed.
The reason for the series' short run was due to the fact that the former heads at Disney Channel had greenlit the series along with other unproduced projectsVery Important House andThe Douglas Furs. However shortly following this, new heads took over and immediately cut the series down from 20 episodes to 13, while cancelling the previous two announced shows.
