Disney tries its hand at a spin-off, its first.
Disney Channel is set to go into production on its first series spin-off, Cory in the House, which features two characters from the network's hit comedy That's So Raven.
In the series, Kyle Massey and Rondell Sheridan will reprise the roles they have played for the past four years--Cory and Victor Baxter, a son and father now making the move to the White House.
While Raven goes off to college and mom Tanya moves to the UK to finish law school, Victor is handpicked to be the personal chef to the newly elected president. He and Cory move into the staff quarters of the White House and must contend with characters including the president's sly 8-year-old daughter and his no-nonsense personal adviser.
The show is set to premiere in November on Disney Channel US, following soon thereafter on Disney Channels worldwide.
While Cory marks Disney Channel's first series spin-off, another one could be making its way to the network, as Disney Channel recently picked up a pilot for a spin-off of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
That's So Raven, which had a fourth season of new episodes premiere in February, has been Disney Channel's No. 1 series in the kids 6-11 demo for six of the past seven quarters. For 2005, it was basic cable's No. 1 series with girls 6-11 and girls 9-14.
