Two new cast members will be joining Bizaardvark, and JJJ has the exclusive scoop!
Maxwell Simkins and Elie Samouhi are officially on board for season three of the Disney Channel series.
The live-action comedy centers around teenage comedy bloggers and best friends Paige Olvera (Olivia Rodrigo) and Frankie Wong (Madison Hu). Maxwell and Elie will star as tween bloggers Zane and Rodney, respectively, who have their own Vuuugle channels – Zane’s “Zane Unboxed” and Rodney’s “What’s in Ma’ Hair?” – that they each run with their moms.
The guys will join their castmates at Disney Channel GO! Fan Fest on Saturday (May 12), a special day for fans to meet dozens of their favorite Disney Channel stars at the Disneyland Resort. The festivities will begin with Disney Channel stars in a cavalcade down Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Park at 11:15 a.m., followed by panel discussions and fan meet and greets with Disney Channel stars at Disney California Adventure Park from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m.
“I love working with Eli and Max,” Olivia shared. “I think people are really going to love their silly, carefree characters. Their Vuugle channels are hilarious. I can’t stop laughing everytime I watch their bits! ”
“Elie and Max are some of the most talented and funny kids I’ve met,” Madison added. “Their characters Zane and Rodney are so much fun and add such a great energy to the cast. I’m so excited for fans to meet them!”
If you’re wondering where you’ve seen them before, Maxwell was in The Book of Henry and Inside Amy Schumer. Elie was a principal performer in the choir for The Greatest Showman‘s Keala Settle during her performance of “This is Me” at the Oscars. He also appeared in the TV movie Broken Memories.
We can’t wait to see what season three of Bizaardvark has in store!
Olivia Rodrigo and Madison Hu looked stunning while stepping out for a good cause!
The Bizaardvark co-stars hit the red carpet at the My Friend’s Place charity gala on Saturday night (April 7) at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
They were also joined at the event by This Is Us star Hannah Zeile.
Later that evening, Olivia took to her Instagram to share a photo at her table with Maddie Ziegler.

Jenna Ortega is taking over Disney Channel tonight — and JJJ has an exclusive look and Q&A with her about her appearance on Bizaardvark
The hour will start off with an all-new Stuck in The Middle, before Jenna jumps over to Bizaardvark, playing Izzy, Paige’s (Olivia Rodrigo) childhood best friend.
At first, Frankie (Madison Hu) is a bit envious of Paige and Izzy’s friendship but once she meets Izzy and they bond over their love of horror movies (which Paige doesn’t really care for), they become best buddies and Paige starts to feel like the third wheel.
Jenna opened up to JJJ about her experience coming onto the set with Olivia and Madison, who are best friends in real life.
“To be honest, I was nervous at first because I didn’t want to feel like I was third wheeling on their friendship,” she shared. “They were really inclusive though!”
She adds, “Madison and Olivia are such sweet, funny girls. It was such an amazing week, filming and getting to know them better.”
Tune into both episodes, starting TONIGHT, March 16th @ 8PM ET/PT on Disney Channel.

Olivia Rodrigo and Madison Hu are doing their part to make the online world a more positive place!
The Bizaardvark co-stars attended Instagram’s #KindComments event on Saturday (September 30) in Dallas.
#KindComments is a global initiative that aims to promote and foster positive engagement online.
The duo presented Ava Marling (@rustygramm) – a 14-year-old Dallas-based Instagrammer who makes fan art and posts her work online to spread kindness – with Instagram’s first-ever #KindComments Award.
“I hope to try inspiring others to get some sort of motivation or inspiration to create things of their own and to enjoy doing it as much as I do,” Ava said about her Instagram.
Attendees were also encouraged to hand-paint their own kind comments on a #KindComments truck. The money raised from a text-to-donate campaign at the event will go toward buying the truck, which will transport donations to Houston for disaster relief.
Way to go, ladies!
