To celebrate the new show, we’ve been getting to know the cast with 10 Fun Facts!
Check out Xochitl Gomez’s fun facts below…
I’m an only child, but I have tons of cousins. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a sibling, but it’s pretty cool to have all the family focus, especially during the holidays. Hahah!
I’ve been in improv classes since I was about 8 years old. I love doing improv because you get to work with others and make funny sketches. It really helps you think on your feet and get comfortable being spontaneous.
I learned to skateboard while filming Season 1 of The Baby-Sitters Club in Canada. Vancouver has the best and cleanest skate parks and even free classes on the weekends.
Costume designer Cynthia Summers created the new and updated look for my character Dawn in The Baby-Sitters Club. She was inspired by a combination of urban looks she pieced together to create a signature style.
I love artichokes and raccoons. I even have raccoon themed wallpaper in my room.
The popular book series by Ann M. Martin brings together inspiring young girls with different backgrounds, personalities and opinions that were brought together by a business venture they conceived and bonded through the friendships they forged.
