Disney Channel has issued a series order to “Ultra Violet & Blue Demon,” a new live action comedy series in which famed luchador Blue Demon Jr plays a version of himself.<\/p>\n
In the series, Blue Demon, Jr is not simply a Mexican wrestler but a superhero in disguise. A magical luchador mask selects his 13-year-old niece Violet (Scarlett Estevez) as his superhero successor.<\/p>\n
He begins training Violet, who concurrently deals with life as a middle schooler.<\/p>\n
“As they start to work together, Uncle Blue realizes he can learn a few things from Ultra\u2019s modern Gen-Z take on crime-fighting,” says the synopsis.<\/p>\n
The cast also includes Marianna Burelli as Violet\u2019s mother, Nina; Juan Alfonso as Violet\u2019s father, Sebastian; Brandon Rossel as Violet\u2019s brother, Miguelito; Zelia Ankrum as Violet\u2019s best friend, Trudy; and Bryan Blanco as Violet\u2019s goody-two-shoes classmate Enrique Diaz-Diaz.
