Young Sheldon

Look for Young Sheldon on CBS Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c starting November 2.

Andi Mack

Season 2 of Andi Mack premieres on Disney Channel this fall. If your family hasn’t yet seen Andi Mack on Disney Channel, you’re in luck! Disney hasn’t announced an exact return date yet, so you still have time to catch up on all of season 1 before season 2 begins later this fall. Andi Mack tackles surprisingly heavy territory for a Disney series — on her 13th birthday, Andi learns that her older sister Bex is actually her mother and that her mom who raised her is actually her grandmother. While Andi and her friends tackle all the usual junior-high pitfalls such as first crushes and fights with friends, Andi also has to adjust to her mother’s free-spirited but sometimes irresponsible ways and meeting her dad for the first time. Because of the complicated family dynamics inherent to the plot, Andi Mack is probably best when you watch with your kids and can be there to answer any questions they have.
