Disney Channel has given the go-ahead to Just Roll with It, a multi-camera sitcom featuring a combination of scripted and improvised comedy.

Just Roll with It, which centers on a blended family, allows studio audience members to choose the outcome of certain scenes. It is made by Kenwood TV Productions, with co-showrunners Adam Small and Trevor Moore (Walk the Prank) serving as executive producers.

The cast of Just Roll with It will include Kaylin Hayman (One Day at a Time), Suzi Barrett (Kirby Buckets), Ramon Reed (Broadway’s The Lion King) and Tobie Windham (Walk the Prank).

Jonas Agin, the VP of original series at Disney Channels, commented: “The multi-camera sitcom format has worked as a staple of TV for decades. So naturally, we aimed to totally upend it. By introducing an element of audience interactivity that subverts the expectations of not only the viewers but also the cast, Just Roll with It is a true step in the evolution of comedic storytelling.”
