EXCLUSIVE: Disney Branded Television has given a series green light to _Hailey’s On It!_, an original animated comedy-adventure, from longtime writing and producing partners Devin Bunje and
Nick Stanton (Disney XD’s _Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything, Prince of Peoria)_ and Disney Television Animation. Auli’i Cravalho (Walt Disney Animation Studios’ _Moana_) voices the
title character, Hailey; along with Manny Jacinto (Hulu’s _Nine Perfect Strangers, The Good Place_) as Scott, Hailey’s best friend; and Gary Anthony Williams (_The Boondocks)_ as Beta, an
artificially intelligent operating system from the future. The series is slated to debut in 2023. Created and executive produced by Bunje and Stanton, _Hailey’s On It!_ follows Hailey Banks
(Cravalho), a risk-averse but resourceful teenager on a mission to complete every item on her long list of challenging (and sometimes impractical) tasks in order to save the world. Hailey
will be pushed outside her comfort zone to discover the greatness within as she systematically conquers her fears, whether she is winning a sand-building competition, wrestling a honey
badger, eating a raw onion, or facing her ever-growing and complicated feelings toward her best friend, Scott (Jacinto). “Nick and Devin began their writing careers at TVA nearly 15 years
ago and have now come full circle returning to their TVA roots to launch their first animated series,” said Meredith Roberts, SVP and general manager, Television Animation, Disney Branded
Television. “The series’ fast-paced comedy, heart and grounded stories about two best friends, who happen to get caught up in extraordinary circumstances, made it a perfect fit for Disney.”
