LOS ANGELES– Disney Branded Television has greenlit two new comedy series, “How They Became the World’s Biggest Band” and “Vampirina” (working titles).

Both series are music-focused, live-action series and are scheduled to premiere on Disney Channel and Disney+ in 2025.

“Both new series are filled with all the elements we know our young viewers love: relatable, aspirational characters, upbeat music, and lots of laughter, friendship, and heart,” said Ayo Davis, President of Disney Branded Television.

“How They Became the World’s Biggest Band” (working title) follows three best friends and members of “Mega-famous pop group Electric Bloom” as they look back and tell the stories of their band and friendship, starting from the day they all met in middle school. The girls are the world’s biggest band. “The big band and they embark on a journey to become the best friends in the universe.”

The series stars Lumi Pollack as Posey, Carmen Sanchez as Jade, Ruby Marino as Tulip, and Nathaniel Buescher as Lucas.

Eric Friedman is the showrunner and executive producer. Iconic songwriters Diane Warren and Bahareh Batmang are executive producers of the show, with Warren also writing the songs in the pilot episode.

“Vampirina” (working title) is inspired by Disney Jr.’s animated series “Vampirina” and the books written by Anne Marie Pace and illustrated by LeUyen Pham.

The new, live-action remake “will follow a tween vampire girl who leaves the safety of Transylvania and attends a performing arts boarding school. Living among humans for the first time, she pursues her passion for music while keeping her vampire secret; it’s something that was created.” It becomes even more challenging when his overprotective father assigns an overzealous ghost to live with him at school.”

The series stars Kenzi Richardson as Vee, Jiwon Lee as Sophie, Shaun Dixon as Elijah, Milo Maharlika as Demi, and Faith Hedley as Britney.

Randi Barnes serves as showrunner and executive producer. Tim Federle (Writer/EP, “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) and Bronwyn North-Resist also executive produce.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney Channel, Disney+, and this ABC station.
