“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”

They mention that it is "an old Disney scam", are there other examples of this? I can't think of any but I'm curious to know how those other examples played out.

The suite life of Zach and Cody changing to the suite life on deck

Interesting. I looked up this show and it looks like it kept the same creator credits. I do wonder if there was some secret behind the scenes things going on, or if some other shenanigans happened (obviously if it's supposed to be a secret, it's hard to find.)

The Disney kids shows where the last season or 2 are in an entirely new location than the first ones. Suite life on deck is an example

It's one of their go to moves on Disney channel for their popular series. Suite life, Hannah Montana, lab rats, Liv and Maddie.

Disney has done this with all the kids shows for years for the same reason

“Hannah Montana” changed to “Hannah Montana Forever” for its final season.
