Emery Kelly has landed a recurring role on the upcoming new series Big Shot for Disney+!
The 22-year-old Alexa & Katie actor and singer joins fellow newly announced cast member Keala Settle, according to Deadline.
Emery will play Dylan, “a high school student who plays basketball on the public court with the girls team coached by Marvyn.”
Keala is set to portray Christina Winters, Destiny’s (Tiana Le) mother.
Big Shot follows a temperamental college basketball coach, Marvyn (John Stamos), who gets fired from his job and must take a teaching and coaching job at an elite all-girls private high school.
Also starring in the show, which began production earlier this month, are Jessalyn Gilsig, Shiri Appleby, Yvette Nicole Brown, Richard Robicheaux, Sophia Mitri Schloss, Nell Verlaque, Monique Green, Tisha Custodio and Cricket Wampler.
“So excited to announce I will make my feature film debut & star alongside this amazing cast in AMERICAN REJECT!!!” she shared on Twitter. “You all know what’s just as much fun as singing 🎤🎶 🤔 being in a MOVIE!! 🎥”
American Reject is based on Kathleen Elizabeth Monteleone‘s “true experience as a top 4 reality contestant on NBC’s Grease: You’re the One That I Want. In the film, Kay is the most recent reject from America’s hottest singing competition ‘POP STAR NOW!’ As she mourns her public elimination, she’s forced to participate in the network’s ‘After The Cut’ filming, and is sent to her small hometown to move back in with her mother and the simple life she left behind. With nothing on the horizon and a cameraman following her every move, she is reacquainted with the folks of her past and finds herself in the Easter Spectacular at the annual town fair. As it turns out, losing is her only way to win.”

Zendaya doesn’t just make an impact on her fans, but her co-stars as well.
In a recent interview with Radio Disney, her Greatest Showman co-star Keala Settle couldn’t hold back her emotions when talking about how Zendaya changed her own life.
“Zendaya has been through so much as a young girl, and has come through with shining colors and continues to,” Keala shares. “Because she has worked in this industry for so long, I think there are times that she doesn’t realize that she’s also a part of that change of those millennials being the 21-year-old that she is.”
She adds, “She became my older sister in a way…and I look up to her on a daily basis, in so many ways. I’m very proud of who she is, who she’s becoming and what she’s continuing to do.”
The singer of the song Keala Settle re-posted the video along with the caption, “Aaaaaaahhhh @selenagomez I ADORE YOU!!!! ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸
