Production on season two will begin in February 2020 in Vancouver.
Kory Lunsford, vice president, Current Series, Disney Channel, said, “Gabby Duran & the Unsittables gives us a bold new heroine, brought to life by the incredibly talented Kylie Cantrall and our top-notch creative team led by showrunners Mike Alber and Gabe Snyder. We’re thrilled that Gabby’s comedic adventures with her extraterrestrial friends will continue to entertain our audience and deliver a message about acceptance and self-discovery.”

I truly hope they renew Gabby Durant…..this show is so original, cute and entertaining! Also…I am a business woman in my 60’s , definitely not a kid, and I STILL think this show is worth watching! I have watched some of the shows from the first season more than once. They make me smile!
This is great news. This is one of the few shows I am looking forward to.
