Production Begins on Disney Channel’s New Series, Sydney to the Max

Disney Channel has begun production on their next live action series. The series is called, Sydney to the Max and it will star Ruth Righi as the title character Sydney, while Adult Max is played by Ian Reed Kesler and young Max is played by newcomer Jackson Dollinger.

The trio is also joined in the series by Caroline Rhea as Ruth’s grandma Judy, seen in both decades. Her best friend Olive is played by Ava Kolker and young Max’s best friend Leo is played by Christian J. Simon.

The show follows the experiences of a sociable, goodhearted middle schooler named Sydney Reynolds and her protective, doting – and sometimes clueless! – single dad Max as they navigate the challenges of growing up.

Set during two timeframes, decades apart, flashback scenes to young Max and his best friend Leo in the 1990s parallel many of the funny predicaments Sydney and her BFF Olive get themselves into. VHS camcorders, bleached skater hair and other ’90s-defining “relics” aside, Sydney and Max come to realize, aided by Sydney’s kicky grandmother Judy, who’s well-versed in Max’s childhood antics, that they have more in common than either realizes.

The show will premiere on the network in the early part of 2019. Will you be tuning in for it?
