Auli’i Cravalho and Manny Jacinto to Star in ‘Hailey’s On It’ From Disney Branded TV

Disney Branded Television is moving forward on a brand-new animated comedy adventure, Hailey’s On It. The series, which is set to debut in 2023, stars Auli’i Cravalho titular character, Hailey; along with Manny Jacinto as Scott, Hailey’s best friend; and Gary Anthony Williams as Beta, an artificially intelligent operating system from the future.

According to Deadline, Hailey’s On It! follows Hailey Banks  (Cravalho), a risk-averse but resourceful teenager on a mission to complete every item on her long list of challenging (and sometimes impractical) tasks in order to save the world. Hailey will be pushed outside her comfort zone to discover the greatness within as she systematically conquers her fears, whether she is winning a sand-building competition, wrestling a honey badger, eating a raw onion, or facing her ever-growing and complicated feelings toward her best friend, Scott (Jacinto).
