Disney Channel has greenlit a spinoff series of its popular sitcom Jessie, the network said Wednesday.

The new series will star Peyton List, Karan Brar and Skai Jackson reprising their roles of Emma, Ravi and Zuri Ross respectively from the original Jessie show, which will end its run after four seasons.

The yet-to-be titled spin-off series, which will begin production later this year, will be produced by Jessie series creator Pamela Eells O‘Connell. Jessie, which stars Debby Ryan, ranks as the second most watched cable Tv series among kids 6-11 with an average of 1.2 million viewers, according to Disney.

"Jessie has been a fan favorite for the past four years," said Disney Channels Worldwide executive vice president of original programming Adam Bonnett in a statement. "We are excited that viewers all over the world can continue to watch the humorous antics of Emma, Ravi and Zuri, beloved characters played brilliantly by Peyton, Karan and Skai."

Debby Ryan, star of Disney Channel sitcom Jessie, is joining cosmetics company Mary Kay's "Don't Look Away" dating abuse prevention campaign as a cause champion, the company said.

The teen actress and singer will make appearances nationwide on behalf of the initiative, which helps educate teens and young adults on developing healthy relationships, recognizing the signs of dating abuse and how to find support services.

Ryan will also be the spokesperson for the Don't Look Away campaign, which includes promoting the nation's first-ever text-for-help service for teens and young adults in abusive relationships. The text service -- run by nonprofit loveisrespect, which counts Mary Kay as a sponsor -- gives users a direct line to immediate support: By  texting "love" to 22522, they can connect annonymously with a traned peer advocate.

"Just being able to send a text message is anonymous and safe," Ryan said. "Mary Kay and I believe that everyone deserves a safe, healthy relationship that makes you stronger and better, and I want to make sure people know how to get the help they need."

The fourth and final season of Jessie debuted on Jan. 9.
