Disney Branded Television has given series greenlights to two music-driven, live-action comedies – How We Became The Biggest Band in the World (working title) and Vampirina (working title).

Both are slated to premiere next year on Disney Channel and Disney+. The series orders are part of Ayo Davis’, president, Disney Branded Television’s, strategy of building a new Disney Channel and Disney+ lineup of multi-cam sitcoms for kid audiences.

The new slate began rolling out this week with sequel series Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, executive produced by Selena Gomez. “How We Became the Biggest Band in the World (wt) and Vampirina (wt) are two standout additions to Disney Channel’s comedy slate,” said Davis. “Both new series are full of all the elements we know our young audiences love: relatable, aspirational characters, upbeat music and plenty of laughter, friendship and heart.” How We Became the Biggest Band in the World (wt) follows three members of a mega-famous pop group, Electric Bloom, as they look back and tell the story of their band and friendship, starting with the day they all met in middle school.

The girls go on a journey to becoming the biggest band in the world and the best friends in the universe. The series stars Lumi Pollack (The Fallout) as Posey, newcomer Carmen Sanchez as Jade, newcomer Ruby Marino as Tulip and Nathaniel Buescher (Circuit Breakers) as Lucas.
