In regard to the hsm show & Sofia; she also commented about Utah on Joshua Bassett’s recent ig post and that’s where the show is being filmed
I guess we’ll have to wait and see if that refers to AM S4 or if she’s in the new HSM show. It would really be rare for three Disney shows to film in the same place at the same time.

If this is hinting at the HSM streaming series then sign me up 🙌🏼
Why don't you think Andi Mack will get a season 4?
I mean I hope I’m wrong but I rather have three good seasons than a cheap fourth season spinoff.
You need to chill its a show lmao its ok but its a fucking show lmfao
Nobody understands that it’s a “fucking show” more than me lmfao I’ve reiterated several times how I don’t believe the show is getting renewed. But imagine saying this about a gun storyline inspired by an actual family’s grief over their 15 year old son, you dipshit.
One of the writers on the show (and a writer on the second-part of this arc), Elena Song, lost her young nephew earlier this year due to a unlocked gun in his friend’s home. This storyline matters.
Happy the show is moving back to Fridays but still bitter that the show is essentially ending after season 3 and will have fewer episodes than season 2.
“So we’re mixed race Asian American girls able to watch a show starring mixed race Asian American girls and a diverse cast that doesn’t shy away from talking about identity and difference in different ways. Our dad like to tell us that this is a really big deal and this wasn’t the case when he was a kid. How do you see your show fitting into the larger discussion about diversity and representation in Hollywood and what do you think that means for our generation?”
This, if nothing else, shows why Andi Mack is so important to the children’s television environment right now.
do u still use this blog?
Is it obvious how inactive I am? The show’s on hiatus so I come here once a week? But even with season 3 airing soon, I think I’ll still just stay off tumblr. Work is exhausting and I don’t have time for gross drama in the tags.
I recently watched Bo Burnham’s feature Eighth Grade (highly recommend) and that got me thinking about the way we talk about the Andi Mack characters, specifically the kids.
It’s so tempting to dismiss young characters for their flaws and decisions, especially as someone older than said characters. We reward the most critical discourse and commentary. It’s cool to be derisive and edgy and I’d argue that we’re socialized to actively engage that way on this website.
We’re all complicit because it’s so easy that I think we forget the cruel reality of middle school and not the nostalgic version we remember to cope with it. We say we want realistic storylines but quickly jump to conclusions if they don’t live up to our own expectations of how thirteen year old kids should act.
Going forward, I want to view the show with more kindness towards all the characters, no matter how painstaking it may be. For me, this show is a privilege to get to watch and I know I am not entitled to any outcome. I’m just along for the ride with a show that’s paving the way for future children’s media that strives to be something substantial given the constraints of the platform.
Everything we post is a choice– and I owe it to my younger self to be more thoughtful.
It looks like it’s f i n a l l y summer and the kids get to go kayaking. Although knowing this show, something will happen and they can never have fun in peace.
“The storyline I am most proud of is Andi’s self-awareness about how much she doesn’t enjoy her relationship with Jonah […] I got to put words in Andi’s mouth that I wish I had said decades ago, and I really hope I helped some teenager somewhere to end that crappy relationship which was making them miserable.” –Terri Minsky
Looking at the storylines, it’s clearly beyond romantic ships. We’ve seen her standing up to Amber, Dr. Metcalf, Cece, Bex, Bowie, Miranda etc. Yet it’s telling that people continue to characterize her as selfish and demanding.
It’ll be interesting to see how the next few episodes play out when she has to negotiate the relationship with Jonah and surely there will be those people who fault her for leading him on, as if she hasn’t been struggling with how she’s supposed to react. I think it’s realistic that even though she’s walked away three times (to the same optimistic music btw), when you’re thirteen and constantly told, “he likes you though!!,” “he’s so nice,” “he changed his mind” that she feels like she has to say yes to avoid hurting anyone.
Andi’s been disappointed by Jonah several times yet everyone including her own parents are enabling the relationship. It’s pretty easy to see that she’s already internalized it through her fight with Bex with how she thinks Bex needs to marry Bowie because she needs the ideal family. And let’s not forget how Buffy and Cyrus are sending puppy dogs and fireworks texts to her about Jandi even when she’s starting to question it.
In order for Andi to be a fully realized character by the end of the series, we need to see Jandi play out and Andi will have to decide on her own terms rather than what everyone else expects her to do.
Exiting the tags because I don’t need to start my week off with casual misogyny and people calling a 13 year old a bitch.
Can you give us any insight or inklings to the finale?
“It’s a big deal. Some shows they’ll have a finale that kind of leaves you a little bit gentle. I think this one is designed to ramp the viewers up.”
Every time I see a post accusing the writers/production of baiting without recognizing how much they have to push back against Disney execs.
