The 16-year-old Andi Mack star is returning to television in the Doogie Howser remake.
Here’s a synopsis: Set in modern-day Hawaii, the 10-episode comedy follows Lahela “Doogie†KameÄloha, a mixed race 16-year-old girl, juggling a budding medical career and life as a teenager.
Guiding Lahela (and also complicating things) is her family, including her spit-fire Irish mother who’s also her supervisor at the hospital, and her Hawaiian “Local Boy†father struggling to accept that his daughter is no longer his little girl.
Back in September, it was revealed that the female-driven remake had been picked up to series, from writer and producer Kourtney Kang.
Peyton has also previously starred in the Disney+ movie Secret Society of Second-Born Royals.
Here’s a synopsis for the movie: SSSBR follows Sam (Lee), a teenage royal rebel second in line to the throne of the kingdom of Illyria. Just as Sam’s disinterest in the royal way of life is at an all-time high, she discovers she has super-human abilities and is invited to join a secret society of similar extraordinary second-born royals charged with keeping the world safe.
With guidance from their Secret Society instructor James, Sam and a new class of royal recruits must first learn to harness their new powers at a top-secret training camp before they can save the world.
Secret Society of Second-Born Royals premieres exclusively on Disney+ NEXT Friday, September 25th!

Secret Society of Second Born Royals follows Sam, a teenage royal rebel second in line to the throne of the kingdom of Illyria. Just as Sam’s disinterest in the royal way of life is at an all-time high, she discovers she has super-human abilities and is invited to join a secret society of similar extraordinary second-born royals charged with keeping the world safe.
With guidance from their Secret Society instructor James, Sam and a new class of royal recruits must first learn to harness their new powers at a top-secret training camp before they can save the world.
Secret Society of Second-Born Royals follows Sam (Lee), a rebellious teenage royal who unknowingly develops superpowers from a genetic trait attributed only to second-borns of royal lineage. Second-in-line to the throne of the kingdom of Illyria, Sam constantly questions what it means to be royal and wants to create her own legacy. Unlike Sam’s picture-perfect older sister Eleanor (Liao) who will become the next queen, Sam would rather rock out with her bandmate and best friend Mike (Lomax) at an illegal protest or ditch a royal engagement for a wild night out.
Fed up with her daughter’s misbehavior, Queen Catherine (Yung) sends Sam to a summer boarding school where she and four other second-born royals – Tuma (Fitch), Roxana (Deeble), January (Thomas) and Matteo (Rakotohavana) – discover they have unique super-human abilities and are invited to join a secret society with a longstanding tradition of covertly keeping the peace. With a new sense of purpose and a little help from their Secret Society instructor James (Astin), Sam and her fellow royal recruits must learn to harness their newfound powers and work together as a team before they can save the world.
Secret Society of Second-Born Royals will premiere on July 17 on Disney+!
The 15-year-old actress stars in the Disney+ film as Sam, a second-born royal daughter. She’s not your typical royal and doesn’t really fit into this world.
After being sent to summer school by her mother, The Queen, Sam learns it is a ruse; she and the other students discover they have superpowers and are there to train to become part of the Secret Society of Second-Born Royals…Can they learn how to use their powers to save their kingdoms?
