The children’s network just announced on Tuesday (May 11) that they are launching a new series for preschoolers and their families inspired by the beloved world of Alice in Wonderland.
The main title sequence for the upcoming Disney Channel series The Ghost and Molly McGee has been revealed.
Ashly Burch, who voices Molly McGee, sings the theme song, which was released earlier this week.
The upcoming series follows tween optimist Molly, who lives to make the world a better place, fix what has gone wrong, and spread joy, and grumpy ghost Scratch (voiced by Dana Snyder), whose lives to make the world a worse place, break what has gone right, and spread misery.
When a curse from Scratch backfires, he finds himself forever bound to Molly. Despite that, Scratch and Molly form an unlikely friendship that guides each of them through the ups and downs of their respective worlds!

Other adventures this season will include a robot replica Gabby-bot running amok, an alien friend who turns into a “Predator” when she becomes emotional, and a quest to recover Principal Swift’s home after it’s shrunken down to the size of a dollhouse by an extraterrestrial prankster.

Olivia Rodrigo is opening up about her early days on Disney Channel.
The 18-year-old actress and singer started her Disney career on the series Bizaardvark, but she says she struggled with loneliness and an identity crisis.
While she did meet her BFF Madison Hu on the show, she still felt it was lonely.
“It’s a multicamera sitcom, so literally every set is within a yard of each other,†Olivia told Elle. “You just walk to the different sets.â€
She also said that she went through “an identity crisis on steroids,” where she struggled with questions like, “Who the f**k am I? Who cares about me? How do I treat people?”
“Most 14-year-olds aren’t in a room with adults being like, ‘So, what’s your brand?’â€
