Premise
The Owl House follows Luz, a self-assured teenage girl who accidentally stumbles upon a portal to a magical world where she befriends a rebellious witch, Eda, and an adorably tiny warrior, King. Despite not having magical abilities, Luz pursues her dream of becoming a witch by serving as Eda's apprentice at the Owl House and ultimately finds a new family in an unlikely setting.
Production information
On February 23, 2018, Disney Channel greenlit the series, alongside Amphibia.[4] The pilot was in development for six months between April to September 2017.[5] On Twitter, many of the production crew announced their involvement in the series.

References in other media
- In the Big City Greens episode "Present Tense", a King plushie can be seen in a claw machine in an arcade along some other Disney Channel figures from other Disney Animation Shows. (like Sprig Plantar from Amphibia, Wander from Wander over Yonder, Perry the Platypus from Phineas and Ferb, Rufus the naked mole-rat from Kim Possible, Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, and Star Butterfly from Star vs. the Forces of Evil.)
- In the Amphibia episode "Bessie & MicroAngelo", King's skull head can be seen next to Anne, as part of the armor she tries on. A guitar version of the theme song can also be briefly heard.
