From creators and executive producers Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton (Disney XD's "Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything"), the series, set in Oceanside, California, follows Hailey as she is pushed outside her comfort zone to discover the greatness that lies within. Whether she's tackling every ride at the county fair, performing in a musical, reuniting a singing duo, or facing her ever-growing and complicated feelings toward her best friend Scott, Hailey is always encountering new challenges ― and more opportunities to conquer her fears.

The star-studded guest cast includes Brian Jordan Alvarez ("M3GAN"), Blake Anderson ("Workaholics"), World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer Mick Foley, comedian Jo Koy, Jack McBrayer ("30 Rock"), Bebe Neuwirth ("Frasier"), Chris Parnell ("Saturday Night Live"), Tim Robinson ("I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson"), Natasha Rothwell ("Insecure"), Brandon Mychal Smith (Disney Channel's "Sonny with a Chance"), Martin Starr ("Party Down") and legendary satirist Al Yankovic (professionally known as Weird Al).
"Hailey's On It!" features music from a cross-section of popular genres, from K-Pop to musical theater to pop-rock to EDM. A digital soundtrack with six original songs is set for release on June 9 on Walt Disney Records. Emmy Award(R)-nominated Matthew Tishler ("High School Musical: The Musical: The Series") and Emmy Award-nominated Andrew Underberg ("The J Team") are the series' songwriters and composers.
Coinciding with the series premiere, DisneyNOW will launch themed updates in two games: Bubble Burst and Color Splash.
