He is also the youngest artist to be featured in a recent exhibit of American contemporary Black Artists!

Trevor Tordjman‘s first episode of Bunk’d is TONIGHT (January 29)!

The 25-year-old actor joins the show as a series regular, as the new character Parker, who is a witty charmer with an inherent likeability, despite the cocky demeanor he’s picked up as a member of an ultra-wealthy family.

It turns out he’s the only Preston who cares about a deed giving descendants of great-great-grandfather Preston a 15 percent stake in Camp Kikiwaka. Now, Parker shows up at Kikiwaka determined to implement over the top ideas to make the camp overwhelmingly successful, but it quickly becomes clear that he’ll butt heads with Lou over what success looks like.

In his first episode, “R.V. Having Fun Yet?,” much to Lou’s surprise, Parker Preston arrives at Camp Kikiwaka to stake his claim to part ownership of the camp.

Trevor is of course a staple on Disney Channel now, having starred as Bucky in Zombies and Zombies 2, and serving as co-host on the dance series Disney Fam Jam with Baby Ariel.

Tune in to Bunk’d TONIGHT (January 29) and every Friday night at 7:30pm ET/PT on Disney Channel!

Bunk’d’s Scarlett Estevez is branching out and starring in her own show!

The young actress will star as Ultra Violet in the upcoming superhero, action comedy series Ultra Violet & Blue Demon, alongside Blue Demon Jr as a version of himself.

Here’s a synopsis: The series unfolds as a magical luchador mask selects 13-year-old Violet to become Ultra, the superhero successor to her uncle, who is the famous Mexican wrestler Blue Demon Jr. and a superhero-in-disguise. Ultra begins her own secret superhero training with her uncle, all while having to navigate the ups and downs of middle school. As they start to work together, Uncle Blue realizes he can learn a few things from Ultra’s modern Gen-Z take on crime-fighting.

“So thrilled to finally be able to share! This is a dream role, and to get to do it alongside @bluedemonjr and the rest of this fantastic cast is such a gift. So proud of this story that is showing a Latina character as a super hero!! I can’t wait for y’all to meet Ultra Violet and see the magic we’ve been cooking up. 💜💙💜💙,” Scarlett shared with the news on Instagram.

The new show will introduce a Mexican American family and showcase a predominately Latinx main cast and producing team.

“Blue Demon Jr. is a Mexican cultural icon and we are looking forward to introducing him—and the luchador mythology—to our viewers,” Rafael Garcia, vice president, Development, Disney Branded Television, said in a statement. “With Violet and her family, we also have the opportunity to present an authentic Mexican American family in a series that combines humor and adventure in a unique Latinx shake-up of the superhero genre.”

Zendaya isn’t trying to erase her Disney past at all, in fact, she embraces it!

The 24-year-old actress recently opened up to Carey Mulligan in an “Actors on Actors” interview with Variety.

“The thing is, I am [a Disney kid]. And to a degree, I am grateful for that,” Zendaya shared. “That’s where I started, and I learned so much from that experience. It’s just kind of been this slow progression, and I am happy that it’s all been to prove it to myself and not to anybody else, you know? I embrace it a little bit. It’s part of my heritage to a degree.”

She also said that Euphoria creator Sam Levinson found her while she was still on the Disney Channel.

“Before Euphoria, technically I was still on Disney Channel. He must have seen something in me,” she added. “He said that I was on a mood board for Rue. And I was like, ‘No, you didn’t!’ I think there’s something to that kind of faith, and already seeing something in me that I maybe knew was there, but I didn’t ever have the opportunity to explore.”

“I’ve always felt that I could bring things to the table: that I could be creative and free to try things, and put out bad ideas. Because of the Disney kid thing, I get scared of that kind of thing,” Zendaya continued.

For a refresher, Zendaya starred on the Disney Channel in shows Shake It Up and KC Undercover, as well as DCOMs Zapped and Frenemies. She also appeared as a guest star on A.N.T. Farm and Good Luck Charlie, as well as voicing characters in Pixie Hollow Games and Super Buddies. She was also signed to Disney’s record label, Hollywood Records.

Though Zendaya‘s Disney Channel days are behind her, she still works with Disney as they own Marvel, who partners with Sony on the current Spider-Man movies that Zendaya stars in.
