Upcoming Disney Channel Movies and Series

selenita-signer090925-11Disney Channel always has a project up their sleeve, usually several at a time. I decided to do some digging and see what Disney Channel movies and series are in the works. Here’s what I found:  Disney Channel Series:  Good Luck Charlie (2010): If you are a reader of Disney Society, then you are familiar with this new series. It stars Bridgit Mendler and Jason Dolley and is about two teenagers, Teddy and Casey Holliday, and their 10-year-old brother, Gabe, whose parents enlist their help when they return to work after the birth of their fourth child, Charlotte, aka Charlie. With their parents juggling full time careers, the older Holliday siblings pitch in, getting very familiar with baby formula, burp clothes and babysitting while navigating typical teenage life. You can read more on this series here.

Untitled Mall Project (2010?): I am not so sure about this project and I have heard whispers here and there about it. It’s supposed to be a TV show based on Ashley Tisdale’s teenage years when she worked in a mall. It doesn’t look like it’s happening anytime soon and the project may either be on hold or shut down all together. Disney Society is keeping an eye on this one!

Disney Channel Movies:

Starstruck (2010): Production has already begun on this Disney Channel Original Movie and it stars Sonny With a Chance’s Sterling Knight. Starstruck is about Jessica Olson (played by Campbell), a down-to-earth girl from the Midwest who collides (literally) with Hollywood’s teen heartthrob, pop star Christopher Wilder (played by Knight). They wind up on a love-struck adventure in Southern California, but their bond is tested when she returns home and he publicly denies their relationship. You can read more about it here.

High School Musical 4: East Meets West (2010): Disney Channel announced back in March about another High School Musical. The shocker was, none of the characters from HSM3 (you know, the new ones they introduced!) would be returning. HSM4 is about when East meets West in a classic love triangle set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights. You can check out the audition info here and more about the movie here.

Avalon High: We are not sure when this movie is slated to be released, but do know that they started auditions for it quite awhile ago. You can see the audition info here. The film is about Elaine “Ellie” Harrison who has just moved from Minnesota to Annapolis, Maryland while her parents take a year long sabbatical to continue their medieval studies in nearby DC. Her new high school, Avalon High, seems like a typical high school with the stereotypical students: Lance the jock, Jennifer the cheerleader, Marco, the bad boy/desperado, and Will, the senior class president, quarterback, and all around good guy. But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be, not even Ellie herself.

Eventually, it becomes apparent that Avalon High is a situation where the ancient Arthurian legend is repeating itself. Will, Jennifer, Lance, Marco, and Mr. Morton all correspond to King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Knight Lancelot, Mordred, and Merlin, respectively.

Den Brother (2011): Today is the first I have heard of this movie. It’s about a high school hockey player who is forced to lead his sister’s Girl Guide troop. There is no casting info, no audition info…so basically we don’t know much yet about this DCOM. Stay tuned!

Which one of these projects sounds the most exciting to you!? source: http://www.disneysociety.com/2009/10/05/upcoming-disney-channel-movies-and-series/
