Andi Mack Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Amber, Cyrus, Andi, Jonah and Buffy put on their best party outfits in the series finale of Andi Mack!

In tonight’s final episode, “We Were Here,” when Celia leaves town, Andi and Bex throw another party; Buffy and Cyrus share relationship woes; Andi shares a secret.

“When we learned that this would be the series finale, I don’t totally remember, but we were breaking Season Three and looking for our cliffhanger, this is like episode 10 out of 21, when we found out,” creator Terri Minsky dished to Paste Magazine. “So it was early enough that it was really great to be able to think, okay, we want to tell these stories, we want to get them in, we want to make sure that they lead to a place where it will conclude. I didn’t want to have people feeling cheated, especially if they’ve been watching the whole time. But it was hard, very, very hard, to know at Episode 10 and not be able to tell anyone. We definitely cried a little in the writers room, but [in terms of organic storytelling], it also made sense.”

Fun fact about tonight’s episode: it features a cover of Lady Gaga‘s song “Born This Way”.

Tune in TONIGHT (July 26) to the Andi Mack series finale at 8pm ET/PT on Disney Channel!

Asher Angel is reminiscing about his time on the set of Andi Mack!

The 16-year-old singer and actor dished on what he’ll miss about working on the show.

“Probably all of the pranks that we pull,” he told Hollywood Life. “I’m such a prankster. I have a million videos on my phone of me pranking the cast and crew… I like to trip people sometimes, but it doesn’t end well for me because they like to get me back and it’s really hard because it’s me against my cast and crew. I definitely like tripping people, scare cams. I’ve got a few scare cams.”

Asher also talked about how the show ends in the finale.

“It’s very sad,” Asher said. “I’ve been with these people for 3 years. We’re retiring the character after 3 years, but we’re really ending the show right. It’s just been an amazing experience and I’m so thankful to Disney for giving me my first real opportunity in this industry. I love my Andi Mack fans.”

Joshua Rush is showing appreciation to the fans of Andi Mack!

The 17-year-old actor and activist thanked those that have reached out before the series finale.

“thank you all for your beautiful and kind asks on tumblr/dms on here as the end of the show airs to you,” he wrote on Twitter.

“I won’t be posting them on tumblr since i’m not sure how people feel about their own privacy, (i’m going to be responding to as many as i can here) but i want you to know that i am reading them and am so touched by your beautiful souls and your courage and your bravery and how our show has affected you,” Joshua continued.

Peyton Elizabeth Lee may have nailed her Andi Mack audition, but she still had to go through many callbacks!

The 15-year-old actress had only two guest star appearances on her resume when she tried out for the Disney Channel show, but was so natural at portraying the character.

Even though creator Terri Minsky felt that Peyton was definitely Andi Mack, she still had to go through the whole casting process with Disney because she had such little experience.

“Out of nowhere, there was Peyton Elizabeth Lee. She didn’t have a reel; she had only been acting professionally for a few months with two guest spots on her résumé,” Terri told Backstage. “When Peyton read my dialogue, it didn’t just sound natural, it sounded so real that I felt like I was meeting my own character.”

“But before Disney would hire her, they had to rule everyone else out, which meant Peyton had to audition again and again and again, each time competing with a new crop of candidates,” she continued. “The final time, the network executives asked her to do a cold reading of the scene where Andi finds out her sister is actually her mother. They gave her a half hour to prepare. She came back in five minutes and killed it. She was only 11 years old.”

“I once asked Peyton how long she could see herself playing Andi. She looked at me like I was crazy: ‘Forever,’ she said, as if it was obvious she was the one,” Terri added.

Sofia Wylie‘s casting in Andi Mack was super last minute!

The 15-year-old actress was discovered by casting directors on Instagram and they brought her in to audition.

Sofia plays Andi Mack’s BFF Buffy Driscoll, who is very athletic and competitive in everything she does.

“We didn’t have a Buffy until two days before we started shooting the series,” Andi Mack creator Terri Minsky shared about her casting. “We saw a lot of auditions full of vampire-slayer toughness, but very little of the best friend. [Casting Director] Amber found Sofia Wylie’s hip-hop dance videos on Instagram, and brought her in for the role. She was the very last person to audition for the role, and it was hers.”

Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Sofia Wylie and Joshua Rush hug it out in this sweet pic from the Andi Mack finale celebration at Neuehouse in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (July 24).

The three stars of the Disney Channel series were joined by Emily Skinner, Luke Mullen, Lauren Tom, Trent Garrett, Lilan Bowden and Raquel Justice to celebrate the groundbreaking series.

Creator Terri Minsky told Variety a bit about the series finale, which airs tomorrow, July 26th.

“I didn’t want to end with a cliffhanger. I believe people will miss Andi and her friends and her family,” she shared. “To me, the finale is a way for them to tell our audience, ‘We’ll miss you, too, but you don’t have to worry about us: We’ll be fine.’”

The Paper Crane Project, created by fans, was on display at the event. It’s made of 1000 paper cranes, categorized and separated into strands of 10, each with a handwritten message from viewers around the world who expressed their appreciation for the series and its commitment to thoughtful, inclusive and entertaining stories that reflect their lives.

Asher Angel‘s character Jonah Beck is an expert at Ultimate Frisbee on Andi Mack, but in real life, not so much.

During the 16-year-old actor and singer’s post audition talk, he dished that that was the only sport he didn’t like and didn’t even want to learn.

“Between his name and his smile, Asher Angel seemed like a no-brainer for Jonah Beck. But in the post-audition banter, Asher said he loved sports, every sport…except ultimate frisbee. He didn’t know how to play it, and he had no interest in learning,” Andi Mack creator Terri Minsky revealed. “This was immediately after reading the scene where Jonah Beck, the captain of the ultimate frisbee team, teaches Andi how to play frisbee. S, who directed the pilot, threw up her hands and plaintively wailed: ‘Dude!’ (But the role was still his, of course.)”

Leading up to the Andi Mack series finale, JJJ is bringing you with stories on how each character was cast. Stay tuned for the rest of the week for Peyton Elizabeth Lee and Sofia Wylie!
