Get more details inside…
Here’s a synopsis: It’s the height of prom season, and high school senior Mandy Yang (Lee) and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben (Manheim) are surrounded by over-the-top ’80s-themed Promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard.
When she finds out that she has put on the waitlist, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself accepted, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors – popular all-star jock Graham Lansing, whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum. Once Mandy becomes Graham’s tutor, she begins to realize there’s more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
Margaret has been cast as Ms. Chen, a sarcastic counselor with a great sense of humor and quick wit who helps Mandy with her attempts to get into Harvard.
Arica and Jason will play Mandy’s close friends Zenobia and Charles; Blake plays high school athlete Graham Lansing; Monique is cast as popular cheerleader LaToya; and David is Mandy’s dad Tom.
Filming is currently underway in Vancouver.
This marks a reunion for Peyton, Margaret and David, who have previously worked together on Doogie Kamealoha, MD. You can check them all out in episode six of the Disney+ series.
