After an episode's worth of misadventures trying to get Ally the credit she deserves, the two decide to combine forces. Ally writes the songs, Austin sings them, Trish de la Rosa (Creator/RainiRodriguez) is Austin's manager and personal stylist, and Austin's friend Dez Wade (Creator/CalumWorthy) is their music video director. The show then focuses on whether or not they'll crash and burn as they finally make it, whether or not Ally will be big on her own, [[WillTheyOrWontThey whether Austin and Ally will get together]], and an assortment of standard KidCom [[HilarityEnsues Wacky Hijinks]].

Aired a {{crossover}} with ''Series/{{Jessie}}'' in December 2012. The show was renewed for a fourth season due to popular fan demand, being the fifth Disney Channel live-action series to be extended past three, after ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'', ''Series/HannahMontana'', ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' and ''Series/GoodLuckCharlie'' (with ''Jessie'' later becoming the sixth). ''Austin & Ally'' is the first Disney Channel show that does not revolve around a family cast to get a fourth season, having less than 5 cast members and having a male co-lead.
