Season 1 of DuckTales 2017 aired from August 12, 2017 to August 18, 2018 and includes 21 half-hour episodes and an hour-long pilot and finale.
Broadcasting[]
In the United States, the first season of the 2017 version of DuckTales aired over the course of the waning months of 2017 and then returned for the month of May 2018. It was broadcast on two separate Disney-branded networks. It launched on Disney XD in 2017, and then concluded its run on the Disney Channel starting from May 2018.
However, in much of the rest of the world, it aired in its entirety on the local version of Disney XD — and it did not necessarily follow the same broadcast pattern that it had in America. For instance, Disney XD in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark started broadcasting the second portion of season 1 episodes well in advance of the May 2018 release they had in the US.
Production[]
The episodes of the season were mainly written by a team of staff writers including series co-creator and co-producer Francisco Angones, Madison Bateman, Colleen Evanson, Christian Magalhaes, and Bob Snow.
Additional writers include Nate Federman, Ben Joseph, Noelle Stevenson, Rachel Vine, and series co-creator and executive producer Matt Youngberg, while notable additional crew members include line producer Suzanna Olson and production secretary Tony Campanella.
The season one episodes were directed by John Aoshima, Matthew Humphreys, Tanner Johnson, Tom Owens, Dana Terrace, and Matt Youngberg. Sam Riegel served as dialogue director.

Trivia[]
- Season 1 takes place over the course of 6 months.
- In "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" Scrooge says that he took the kids in 6 months ago, and the season finale "The Shadow War!" takes place just after that episode ends.
- This is the fourth Disney Channel Original Series to be set as a revival/reboot series after Win, Lose or Draw (Teen Win, Lose or Draw), Girl Meets World (Boy Meets World) and Raven's Home (That's So Raven).
