Disney Channel Orders Zendaya Comedy

The Disney Channel is shaking things up with a new comedy starring and co-produced by recording artist Zendaya.

K.C. Undercover centers on a high school math whiz named K.C. Cooper, who is looking to follow in her parents footsteps as she works toward becoming a spy.

The multi-camera series with Zendaya, the star of the network’s Shake It Up, is slated to hit Disney Channel’s schedule early next year. The show reunites her with Shake It Up executive producer Rob Lotterstein.

"Zendaya and Rob Lotterstein are a powerhouse combination to produce Disney Channel's next action driven sitcom,” said Adam Bonnett, executive vice president of original programming, Disney Channels Worldwide. “This show has all of the Disney Channel attributes – family, friendship, humor and heart all from the point of view of an incredibly talented and relatable teenage girl."
