labrats-season2-012813The “Lab Rats” are back and they’ve gotten a super sweet makeover!

Season 2 of Disney XD’s hit show “Lab Rats” returns on February 25 at 9pm and the Rats will be showing off some sweet upgraded super suits. We love the new sleek look.

The sophomore season will include a guest appearance by Madison Pettis (“Jake and the Never Land Pirates”) and will follow Leo and his siblings, teen super-humans – Adam, Bree and Chase – as they embark on critical missions with high stakes while learning more about each other and navigating everyday teenage life.

In the season premiere, “Speed Trapped,” Adam, Bree and Chase sneak out to meet Marcus in Davenport’s new self-driving sports car. When Leo tries to stop them, his nemesis Marcus traps him inside the car and programs it to take him on a wild, high-speed ride bound for the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Beginning Saturday, February 9, fans can visit DisneyXD.com to watch “Lab Rats: Who Is Marcus?,” a short-form series that provides a sneak peek at the video logs of Leo Dooley, who is determined to uncover the truth about Mission Creek High School’s creepiest new student. In addition, on Monday, February 25, “Lab Rats: Leo’s Stealth Ops,” a new online game inspired by Tyrel Jackson Williams, will launch, along with behind-the-scenes videos that give viewers an inside look at Tyrel’s visit to Disney Interactive, where he helped concept the game. The season two premiere of “Lab Rats” will also be available on iTunes, Microsoft Xbox and Amazon beginning Tuesday, February 26.

“Lab Rats” stars Spencer Boldman, Billy Unger, Kelli Berglund, Tyrel Jackson Williams, and Hal Sparks. Are you excited for season 2?!?!
