Disney Channel is bringing its hit tween series Andi Mack back for a third go-round. Cast members Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Lilan Bowden, Joshua Rush, Sofia Wylie and Asher Angel got the news while on ABC’s Good Morning America today. Twelve new episodes from Season 2 will debut beginning in June 2018, with episodes from the third season scheduled to debut later in 2018.


The series is praised as a heartwarming, diverse coming-of-age story about the most important things in any young person’s life — family and friends, and the journey of self-discovery.


The coming-of-age story marked a key moment for the channel in the second-season premiere when the 13-year-old Cyrus Goodman character played by Rush came out to his friends after realizing he was gay, marking Disney Channel first depiction of a coming-out journey. Season 3 will begin filming soon in Salt Lake City.


Andi Mack is created and is executive-produced by Terri Minsky (Lizzie McGuire) and also executive-produced by Michelle Manning (The Breakfast Club, Disney Channel Original Movies Adventures in Babysitting and Teen Beach 2). Phil Baker (Disney Channel’s Good Luck Charlie) is co-executive producer.


“A series about a girl discovering that her sister is really her mother was new territory for Disney Channel, but Terri’s honest, authentic storytelling allowed our audience to connect deeply to these characters and their journeys of self-discovery, said Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide “What she has crafted stands as a high-water benchmark for kids and family storytelling around the world.”


Andi Mack stars Lee as Andi Mack, Bowden as Bex Mack, Lauren Tom as Celia Mack, Rush as Cyrus Goodman, Wylie as Buffy Driscoll and Angel as Jonah Beck. Recurring cast members are Trent Garrett as Bowie Quinn, Stoney Westmoreland as Henry “HAM” Mack, Emily Skinner as Amber, Luke Mullen as T.J., and Darius Marcell as Walker.


The series is from Horizon Productions.
