Best Friends Whenever

Best Friends Whenever is a show that was ordered by Disney on March 6, 2015. Production began that month with the series premiering June 26, 2015. "Best Friends Whenever" centers on teenagers Shelby Marcus and Cyd Ripley, who, when a science experiment goes wrong, become unstuck in time, leaping forward and backward whenever they want – and sometimes even when they don't. Now with the help of their friends, Barry Eisenberg and Naldo Montoya, the girls must learn to master their awesome new power as they time-shift through high school.

Premise

Best friends are there for each other whenever one needs help. In the case of BFFs Shelby and Cyd, that "whenever" can be any era in history. After a science experiment goes awry, the teens acquire the ability to travel through time whenever they want and, sometimes, even when they don't. They try to use their recently acquired power to help navigate their teenage years, both in school and in their family relationships, which often includes going back in time to fix past mistakes. And for some fun, the girls occasionally sneak into the future to get a glimpse of what's to come.
