Aaron Stone is a live-action adventure series, shot with a single camera, and was conceived by Bruce Kalish. It premiered alongside the launch of Disney XD on February 13, 2009, marking the network’s first original series.

The storyline follows a teenager, Charlie Landers, who is recruited to embody his famous avatar, Aaron Stone, from the fictional video game Hero Rising, in real life. The series features performances by David Lambert, Tania Gunadi, and J. P. Manoux. Unlike typical Disney live-action shows, Aaron Stone presents a darker narrative with a more intricate plot.

The first season was filmed from June 2 to December 19, 2008, and aired on Disney XD from February 13 to November 27, 2009. On May 5, 2009, Disney announced the renewal of the show for a second season. Kelly Blatz later confirmed on Twitter that filming for the second season commenced on June 22, 2009.

During a live Ustream chat on November 11, 2009, featuring J. P. Manoux, Tania Gunadi, and Bruce Kalish, it was revealed that Aaron Stone would not continue beyond its second season. Disney XD decided to shift its focus towards live-action programming with a stronger emphasis on comedy. This announcement came before the conclusion of the first season in the United States. The second season comprised 14 episodes, debuting on February 24, 2010, with the final 8 episodes airing from June 16 to July 30, 2010. By 2012, Disney XD had ceased reruns of Aaron Stone in the United States.
