The series also stars Kadeem Hardison, Tammy Townsend, Kamil McFadden, Trinitee Stokes and Veronica Dunne.

Former Disney Channel star Raven-Symoné has been named as a co-host for ABC’s daytime talk show The View, ABC announced Monday.

Disney Channel has renewed its hit freshman series K.C. Undercover for a second season, the network said Friday.

The series, which stars actress/singer Zendaya as a member of a family of spies in a secert government agency, is among the top series among kids 2-11 (1.5 million viewers) and Kids 6-11 (1.3 million viewers. The network will begin production on season two this fall, said Disney Channel officials.

The 29-year old Symoné will appear in at least two episodes of the comedy series, starring Zendaya Coleman (Shake It Up) and Kadeem Hardison (A Different World).

The series drew 3.5 million viewers in its Jan. 21 premiere, and delivered nearly 400,000 unique users in the first two weeks of its debut on WATCH Disney Channel.

Symoné previously starred in the network’s popular series That’s So Raven from 2003-2007. Symone’s most recent TV shows as the ABC Family series State Of Georgia, which aired in 2007.

Actress Zendaya’s return to Disney Channel in a new original series KC Undercover drew 3.5 million viewers in its Sunday premiere.

The series, in which Zendaya plays the daughter of two spies, was also the top cable TV telecast thus far in 2015 among key demographics, including kids 2-11 (1.7 million viewers), kids 6-11 (1.4 million), and tweens 9-14 (1.4 million).

The premiere episode debuted Jan. 1 on the WATCH Disney Channel app and delivered close to 400,000 unique users and 800,000 video starts, said network officials. 

Disney Channel is looking for a ratings rebound with new series and original movies slated for the kids-targeted network over the next year.

While Disney was the most watched cable network over a 24-hour basis during the third quarter 2014, the network overall audience was down 20% from the same period last year. In primetime, Disney posted a 24% year-to-year audience decline during the quarter.

Disney Channel president and chief creative officer Gary Marsh acknowledged “softness” in the ratings, which he said also extended to competitors including Nickelodeon as well as many of the top 10 most-watched networks in primetime.

Marsh pinned some of the decline on the viewing of mainstay Disney shows such as Hannah Montana and Jessie on platforms such as WatchDisney and Netflix.

Besides cable rivals such as Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, OTT services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon are also going after kids with original animated and live-action kids’ shows.

“Certainly there’s more competition than there ever was, and that’s going to continue,” Marsh said. “It really is just a call to action for us to up our game to create must-see television and programming that speaks to what our brand is. We can’t stop the competition, but all we can do is to create stronger and better programming.”

In January 2015 Disney Channel — which targets girls 6 to 11 as well as tweens — will bring back Zendaya Coleman (Shake It Up!) in a new series titled KC Undercover. She plays the daughter of spy parents and gets drafted into the family business.

“What I’m incredibly proud of is this the first time in a long time where we have a family sitcom featuring an entire African- American family,” Marsh said, alluding to past Disney shows including That’s So Raven and The Proud Family.

KC Undercover will join the current roster of shows, including Jessie, Dog With a Blog and Girl Meets World, which is coming back for a second season.

While the network’s original movies are perennially among the mostwatched each year by its core viewers, Marsh said he’d like to find the next breakout film or franchise, a la High School Musical.

Descendants, about the off spring of such classic Disney film villains as Cruella de Vil and the Evil Queen, and Teen Beach Movie 2, following up on a 2013 original that drew 8.4 million viewers to the premiere, are slated for 2015.

Disney wants to roll out four to five movies next year, Marsh said.
