Premiering on February 8th, the programs are geared towards kids 6-14. The short-form series, “In The Nook,” enlists the help of some famous faces. Several Disney Channel stars will tell the stories of Tyler Gordon and Brooklyn chess champion, Jessica Hyatt. 

The segments include the following:

  • Chandler Kinney and Ariel Martin (Zombies 2) will interview 14-year-old painting prodigy Tyler Gordon, from San Jose, California. Gordon overcame early health challenges, as well as being bullied because of his stutter. He now uses his art to help other kids fight against bullying.
  • Ramon Reed (Just Roll With It) and Christian J. Simon (Sydney to the Max) interview Brooklyn chess champion Jessica Hyatt, who is a few ranks away from making history as the world’s first Black woman chess master.
