New Season of KICKIN' IT to Premiere on Disney XD, 4/1

The top-rated series about martial arts and friendship, "Kickin' It," returns for a third season MONDAY, APRIL 1 (8:30 - 9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney XD. Kicking it up a notch, the new season will include a special guest appearance by two-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas and will continue to follow the Bobby Wasabi crew as they face bigger opponents, embark on new challenges, and set their sights higher than ever before as they learn more about themselves and one another.

In the premiere episode, "Spyfall," a government agent mistakenly identifies 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.

Beginning April 1, DisneyXD.com will launch a collection of martial arts-themed mini-games, "Kickin' It: Ninja Warrior Training," so players can be a part of the Bobby Wasabi dojo and train with Jack to become a Wasabi Warrior and earn a black belt.
