Andi Mack Latest News, Photos, and Videos

As Andi Mack comes to a close this week, we wanted to take a look back at how the actors got their roles on the show.

Throughout the week, JJJ will be sharing each of the core four’s casting stories, kicking off with Joshua Rush as Cyrus!

Joshua takes on the role of Cyrus Goodman, who is Disney’s first LGBTQ+ character. Cyrus first came out to Buffy in the season two premiere, revealing that he had a crush on Jonah Beck, at the same time as Andi Mack.

While Joshua was auditioning for the role, he was actually already booked as a lead in another Disney Channel pilot.

“He came in with a list of questions about my plans for Cyrus’ storyline, which I had to answer before he would even consider auditioning. I don’t know if he ever actually read the sides. He was already Cyrus. The other pilot was never made. (Belatedly, I’m feeling very guilty about that.),” creator Terri Minsky shared about his casting.

Be sure to stay tuned to JustJaredJr.com for the rest of the week to see how stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Sofia Wylie and Asher Angel all got their roles on Andi Mack!

The Andi Mack series finale will air on Friday (July 26) at 8pm on Disney Channel.

Disney shared some footage from her audition for the hit series, which is ending after three seasons this week, in a flashback video.

In the unearthed footage, you can see Peyton reciting some of Andi’s iconic lines from the show, and being insistent of how she’s not a singer at all.

Peyton Elizabeth Lee and her Andi Mack mom Lilan Bowden share a very special bond!

Lilan recently opened up about their relationship, and what Peyton did this past Mother’s Day.

“The cutest thing is during the most recent Mother’s Day she sent me a message, ‘Happy Mother’s Day to my fake mother. I miss you, and I love you more than you’ll ever know.’ I’m going to get teary-eyed. I didn’t know that when I signed up for a TV show, I’d end up with a new family member, but we are clearly friends for life,” she told Parade magazine.

“My connection to her came on so organically where I just feel like this was somebody that I have to protect and someone I feel so close and fond of, and I want her to do well, and I’m going to help guide her in any way I can,” Lilan continued. “Peyton is representative of a new generation that has self-confidence in her identity in a way that I don’t know if I had coming up as an actor. She is a critical thinker, and she knows very much what she stands for and this started at an early age. So, that’s really incredible to see.”

Andi Mack is currently airing it’s final episodes Fridays on Disney Channel. The show will end with the series finale on Friday, July 26th.

It’s the beginning of the end of Andi Mack and we’re not dealing with it really well.

Asher Angel spoke to our friends at J-14 about the final episodes of the series to prepare us.

“You can expect a lot more drama. Things get even crazier with these upcoming episodes,” he teased about the new episodes ahead, including tonight’s premiere.

Asher added, “I don’t really wanna give too much away, so just stay tuned. It’s a really fun season. There’s a lot of new characters that you guys are gonna meet. It’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

He also spoke about the show coming to an end.

“We’re all pretty sad about it, but we’ve had an incredible run. Three seasons…I’m just so thankful for Disney for giving me my first real opportunity in this industry,” Asher says. “I’m just excited for what the future holds. I feel like we ended the show – with these upcoming episodes, I feel like we ended it perfectly. I’m really happy about the ending.”

The only thing Asher will say about the finale is to “Get your tissues ready.”

WATCH A CLIP FROM THE PREMIERE: Andi & Amber Let Out Their Rage In a Cage

Andi sits down with her family at dinner in an all new episode Andi Mack!

In the first of the final episodes of the Disney Channel show, Andi releases her frustrations about Bex and Bowie’s canceled wedding; Cyrus invites Jonah to a backyard campout; Buffy competes in a marathon with Marty.

We also have an exclusive first look at the episode perfectly titled “Hammer Time”. The video features a funny mash-up of scenes of Andi, Amber and Celia taking out their frustrations at a “Rage Cage.” Amber introduces Andi to the idea after Andi expresses her pent-up feelings about Bex and Bowie’s canceled wedding. Later, Andi takes Celia for her own Rage Cage adventure.

Andi Mack returns to the Disney Channel for it’s final episodes TONIGHT (June 21) with back to back new episodes starting at 8 pm ET/PT!

Andi Mack‘s final episodes are coming up soon and some of the cast is opening up about what to expect.

Stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Lilan Bowden, and Joshua Rush dished that storylines will come to a close, and they also reflected back on working on such an impactful show.

“There are so many wonderful storylines that wrap up in such a beautiful way—and I’m talking visually as well as emotionally,” Lilan told D23. “So, I can’t wait for fans to experience that.”

“I’m excited for fans to get to imagine a future for the characters,” Joshua added. “The way the show ends is really wonderful in that Cyrus, Andi, Buffy, Jonah, Bex, and Cece are going to keep living in their own world. I’m really excited for fans to see that.”

Peyton was thankful for the different representations featured on the program. “I think it’s really important that everyone is represented in the media,” she said. “Seeing someone who looks like you or someone you connect with onscreen is very important.”

“Being able to play this gay character has been absolutely incredible. It’s something a lot of older people did not have when they were growing up,” Joshua added. “And for these kids out there who are just having that realization in their own minds and are maybe internalizing it, I’m excited to give them an opportunity to see themselves portrayed. The other side of it is Cyrus being a Jewish character—a strong Jewish character. Because for me, when I grew up, Passover, or Pesach, was ‘Jewish Easter,’ and Chanukah was ‘Jewish Christmas.’ And it’s great to have a character out there who shows that Judaism is its own thing and that we are our own people.”

“It’s wonderful to be on a show that normalizes so many things we don’t see a lot of represented in the media,” Lilan chimed in. “We have the gay storyline, we have an Asian American family on TV, and the show is led by the three female characters. And on top of that, we have learning disabilities, we have a deaf character… Bex is a teen mom! For us to show so many different kinds of issues that real children and families face is so meaningful, because I can tell when I talk to our fans that it means everything to see themselves represented on TV.”

Andi Mack begins airing it’s final episodes THIS Friday (June 21) with the series finale set for July 26th.
