Disney Channel has always featured shows about kids with interesting lives. Whether they were secretly pop stars, part of a family of wizards, or twins living on a cruise ship, they’ve always had shows that made you watch and wonder, “What would it be like to grow up like that?”
The newest show from Disney Channel is no exception, although it may be a little more realistic than the whole family-of-wizards thing. “Stuck in the Middle” is a new show about a girl named Harley who is stuck in the middle of a group of seven kids! {And I always thought being the middle out of three was hard!}
About the show:
Jenna Ortega (“Jane The Virgin” and “Elena of Avalor”) stars as inventive tween Harley Diaz, the middle child in a bustling household of nine, in the engaging, single-camera comedy series “Stuck in the Middle.”
Told from Harley’s point of view, the slice of life stories find humor in everyday life as this middle child devises creative ways to cope with – and stand out in– her family’s busy suburban Massachusetts household. The Diaz parents, Suzy and Tom, also have six other kids: Rachel the self-involved eldest; Georgie, a basketball-playing teen; Ethan, Harley’s closest ally; invincible and indestructible twins Lewie and “Beast”; and the strong-willed youngest sibling, Daphne.
In addition to Jenna Ortega, the series stars Isaak Presley (“Austin & Ally”) as Ethan Diaz, Ronni Hawk as Rachel Diaz, Kayla Maisonet (“Dog With A Blog”) as Georgie Diaz, Nicolas Bechtel (“General Hospital”) as Lewie Diaz, Malachi Barton (“The Young and the Restless”) as “Beast” Diaz, Ariana Greenblatt (“Liv and Maddie”) as Daphne Diaz, Cerina Vincent (“Mike and Molly”) as Suzy Diaz, and Joe Nieves (“How I Met Your Mother”) as Tom Diaz.
The show doesn’t officially start until next month, but you can catch a preview this weekend! A full episode preview will air this Sunday, February 14th at 8:45pm EST, following the first Disney Channel airing of a little movie you may have heard of called “Frozen” at 7pm EST. In the preview episode, avid inventor Harley is all set to accept a community award, but must first devise a way to get her family out of the house and to the ceremony on time!
The “Stuck in the Middle” preview episode will also be available on WATCH Disney Channel and WATCHDisneyChannel.com, available to users on tablets, phones, set top boxes and computers, beginning Sunday, February 14. “Stuck in the Middle” will air in its regular time slot beginning Friday, March 11th at 9pm EST on Disney Channel!
