The 15-year-old actress will soon be starring as the voice of Sweetie in the new Disney Junior series The Chicken Squad.

Sweetie is the strong and big-hearted sister in the series which follows Coop, Little Boo and Sweetie—a trio of young chicken siblings—and their trusted mentor, Captain Tully, a retired search and rescue dog, who team up on problem-solving adventures in their backyard to help their animal friends.

Also starring in the show are Ramone Hamilton and The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers‘ Maxwell Simkins as Coop and Little Boo, respectively. Yvette Nicole Brown voices Captain Tully, plus recurring roles from Tony Hale, Sean Giambrone, Jane Lynch, Melissa Rauch and more.

The Chicken Squad will premiere THIS Friday (May 14) on Disney Junior, which is also National Dance Like a Chicken Day.
