Production has begun on “Shook,” a modern hip-hop dance-focused short-form series, starring popular actress, singer and dancer Sofia Wylie (Disney Channel’s “Andi Mack,” and the upcoming “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” for Disney+). “Shook” will be made available Saturday, SEPT. 28, on Disney Channel’s YouTube.
A scripted single-camera narrative, “Shook” centers around Mia, a 15-year-old who yearns to dance professionally but is hindered by daily obligations to her little sister, Skylar, and their single mom, a registered nurse. Although Mia struggles to convey how she feels, with the support of her extroverted best friend, Fredgy, and a new mentor, Ritz, who introduces her to the vibrant world of street dance, Mia begins to express her true and best self through dance.
Mark Duplass and Jay Duplass (“Paddleton,” “Wild Wild Country,” “Room 104”) are the executive producers. The series was written by Jonathan Hurwitz (“Andi Mack”). Hannah Peterson (“East of the River”) is the director, and Alexis Beauregard (“Love & Hip Hop Hollywood”) is the choreographer. Filmed in and around Los Angeles, the series is a production of DBP Donut.
