Disney Channel fans can expect to enjoy new original movie from the network as it celebrates reaching its100th film.

The network is also premiering a new TV show called Bizaardvark. Frankie (Madison Hu) and Paige (Olivia Rodrigo) are best friends who post funny songs and comedic videos on the internet, and after their channel Bizaardvark hit 10,000 subscribers, they get invited to make their videos at the Vuuugle studios with other content creators who they eventually become friends with. This includes Dirk (Jake Paul), who takes on dare challenges, and Amelia (DeVore Ledridge), who is into beauty and fashion. Starting August, the two best friends are going on a journey to become social media stars aided by their friends and family.
Disney Channel's television films have been around since 1983, releasing about three to five movies each year. Some of them have branched out into franchises such as "High School Musical", "Teen Beach Movie", "Camp Rock" and "Descendants". (kha/kes)
