VV Mitchell has been making people laugh online for years, and now she’s taking that energy to Disney+. The 15-year-old from Henderson, North Carolina, has been cast as one of 11 young performers in the pilot for Disney+’s reboot of The Mickey Mouse Club. She’s best known for The VV Show, her online series packed with comedy sketches, lip-syncs, voiceovers, and movie-scene takes that have pulled in millions of viewers.
Her path to this moment wasn’t overnight. Mitchell first went viral around age 7 and has spent the years since sharpening her skills in acting, modeling, and dance. The Disney+ pilot, produced in Los Angeles, focuses on music, innovation, and self-expression, and she’ll appear alongside fellow cast members including Hudson Stone, Casey Trotter, Brooklynn Pitts, Scarlett London Diviney, Michael Cash, Yonas Kibreab, and Carter Barnes.
The franchise she’s joining has serious star power behind it. Past Mickey Mouse Club casts launched Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling, which means Mitchell is standing in a very famous line. For a generation that grew up watching her clips, seeing a familiar face in a Disney+ project is a full-circle moment. Are you planning to watch the reboot?
