Here at MickeyBlog, we’re excited to share the news about a brand new series coming to the Disney Channel. The network has handed a straight-to-series order to Gabby Duran & The Unsittables- a live-action comedy based on the novel by Elise Allen and Daryle Connors. Kylie Centrall will star in the title role with production currently underway in Vancouver.
Check out the official trailer here:
The series is co-written by Mike Alber and Gabe Snyder (Kirby Buckets)who will also serve as showrunners. The film follows Gabby Duran who constantly feels like she’s living in the shadows of her successful mother and brilliant younger sister. However, when she lands a babysitting job it’s her chance to shine. She finds herself managing an unruly group of extraterrestrial children who are hiding out on Earth disguised as everyday kids. Gabby steps up to the challenge protecting the secret identities of these youngsters.
Rounding out the cast are Maxwell Acee Donovan (Good Kids) as Gabby’s best friend Wesley; Coco Christo (We Take the Low Road) as Gabby’s little sister Olivia; Nathan Lovejoy (The Code) as Principal Swift; and Valery Ortiz (Switched at Birth) as Gabby’s mom Dina. Callan Farris (Kings) will recur as Jeremy, Gabby’s first babysitting assignment.
