Bruce Kalish's Aaron Stone is a live-action, single-camera adventure series. Originally aired on February 13, 2009, to coincide with the launch of Disney XD. It was the network's first original series. The show is about a teenager named Charlie Landers who is recruited to become the real-life counterpart of his world-famous avatar Aaron Stone from the fictional video game Hero Rising. David Lambert, Tania Gunadi, and J. P. Manoux also appear in the show. Unlike most of Disney's live-action shows, Aaron Stone has a darker tone and a more complex storyline. The first season was in production from June 2 to December 19, 2008. The first season aired on Disney XD from February 13 to November 27, 2009. On May 5, 2009, Disney announced that the show had been renewed for a second season. Kelly Blatz confirmed on her Twitter account that production for the second season began on June 22, 2009. Aaron Stone was not renewed for a third season on November 11, 2009, during a Live Ustream chat with J. P. Manoux, Tania Gunadi, and Bruce Kalish. The stated reason was that Disney XD has decided to focus more on live-action programming that is primarily comedy-based. This announcement was made before season one concluded in the United States. For the second season, which premiered on February 24, 2010, a total of 14 episodes were produced. The final eight episodes aired from June 16 to July 30, 2010. Aaron Stone reruns were no longer broadcast on Disney XD in the United States as of 2012.
