Disney Channel's 'Andi Mack' Cast Starts Production!

The cast of Andi Mack all gather up for picture on the first table read earlier this week.

The upcoming Disney Channel series stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee as the title character, and centers around Andi as she’s about to celebrate her 13th birthday. However, when her capricious older sister Bex (Lilan Bowden) returns home with the hope of getting her life together, Andi’s life is turned upside down and she is left questioning everything she’s ever known.

Terri Minsky, the showrunner behind Lizzie McGuire, will be running this show as well.

Terri shared in a statement, “I could have done this show any number of places, but the only one where it would really matter is Disney Channel. Andi only existed as words on a page until Peyton Lee walked into the room. I will never forget the magic of that moment � to meet the character I wrote. Actually, it wasn’t until I met Peyton that I really knew who Andi was.”

Andi Mack, which will premiere in 2017, also stars Lauren Tom as Andi’s mother Celia, Joshua Rush as Cyrus and Asher Angel as Jonah Beck and Sofia Wylie.
