Disney Channel to Preview ‘Stuck in the Middle,’ Featuring an all-Latino Cast
Jenna Ortega (“Jane the Virgin”) stars as inventive tween Harley Diaz, the middle child in a bustling household of nine, in the engaging single-camera comedy series for kids and families, “Stuck in the Middle,” to be presented in a full episode preview Sunday, February 14 (8:45 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel, immediately following the channel’s premiere of Disney’s Academy Award-winning animated film “Frozen” (7:00 p.m., ET/PT). Linda Videtti Figueiredo (“Rules of Engagement” and “Last Man Standing”) serves as Executive Producer. The series was created by Alison Brown (“Dog With A Blog”).

“Stuck in the Middle” will begin in its regular time slot Friday, March 11th (9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.
Told from Harley’s point-of-view, the slice-of life stories find the comedy in everyday life of a big family as this middle child devises creative ways to cope with — and stand out — in her family’s busy suburban Massachusetts household. The Diaz parents, Suzy and Tom, also have six other kids: Rachel the self-involved eldest; Georgie, a basketball-playing teen; Ethan, Harley’s closest ally; invincible and indestructible twins Lewie and “Beast;” and the strong-willed youngest sibling, Daphne.
In addition to Jenna Ortega (who’s also set for a voice role in Disney Junior’s upcoming “Elena of Avalor”), the series stars: Isaak Presley (“Austin & Ally”) as Ethan Diaz; Ronni Hawk as Rachel Diaz; Kayla Maisonet (“Dog With A Blog”) as Georgie Diaz; Nicolas Bechtel (“General Hospital”) as Lewie Diaz; Malachi Barton (“The Young and the Restless”) as “Beast” Diaz; Ariana Greenblatt (“Liv and Maddie”) as Daphne Diaz; Cerina Vincent (“Mike and Molly”) as Suzy Diaz; and Joe Nieves (“How I Met Your Mother”) as Tom Diaz.
In the preview episode, avid inventor Harley is all set to accept a community award but first must devise a way to get her family out of the house and to the ceremony on time.
