It would seem that casting news for Young Adult TV shows revolves around just a few hot and very in-demand names, and what a busy bunch they are! But because things change in showbiz faster than it takes Disney to fast-track something into production, the names on that list are changing all the time. So to that end, we here at YA Mag will undertake the hefty task of keeping you up to date on who’s playing what, who’s hot, and who’s not. The roles and stars in everyone can’t stop talking about are all here…
ABC

Nickelodeon
The kids’ network is working on two comedy pilots: The Dunes Club and Future Shock. The former follows the unlikely bond between a sheltered, privileged boy and a rough-and-tumble girl who takes a job at a ritzy beach club for the summer.
Future Shock, on the other hand, centers on two brothers whose lives are turned upside down when a girl from the future accidentally transports them to the year 2070.
Nick is also renewing two of our fave shows: Henry Danger and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn.
