Actress Peyton Elizabeth Lee, who plays the title character, spoke to JJJ about Andi and how she relates to her.

“I think Andi is like every other kid. The most important things in her life are friends, family and figuring out her place in the world,” she shared.

“Andi experiences so many different things, and they’re the same things all kids go through.”

Peyton added, “I remember when we were filming, there were a lot of times that I could totally relate to the story in my own life, or I had a friend who had gone through the same situation. That’s what makes it so real and authentic. It’s honest. It’s what a kid’s life is really like.”

“I wanted to create something that both kids and their parents could enjoy together as a family,” creator Terri Minsky, who also created Lizzie McGuire, shared of the new show.
