Stuck in the Middle, from executive producer Linda Videtti Figueiredo, stars Ortega as a middle child, Harley Diaz, in a household bustling with nine people – two parents and seven kids – each with distinctive personalities and conflicting schedules. It also stars Isaak Presley as Ethan, Ronni Hawk as Rachel, Kayla Maisonet as Georgie, Nicolas Bechtel as Lewie, Malachi Barton as Beast, Ariana Greenblatt as Daphne, Cerina Vincent as Suzy and Joe Nieves as Tom.
The Stuck In the Middle cast has been lining up high-profile new gigs. Hawk left early in the production of Season 3; she has a new series on Netflix, On My Block. Greenblatt has a major role in the upcoming Disney feature The One and Only Ivan.
Written by Vijal Patel and Frank Pines inspired by Pines’ life and directed by Richie Keen, Man of the House revolves around two recently divorced sisters — Jessie (Hannigan) and Charli (Bibb) — who decide to move in together to raise their kids under one roof. The oldest kid and only son is left to figure out what manhood means in a world where he’s now completely surrounded by females.
