The news comes as Disney Channel today unveiled plans for the 100th DCOM Celebration, a summer programming marathon centered on the airing of the network's 100th original move since 1997 — the first movie was Under Wraps, and the 100th will be a reimagining of the 1987 film Adventures In Babysitting which doesn't have an airdate yet.
The first season will premiere on March 24, two weeks after the debut of the Disney Channel Original Movie Tangled Before Ever After, premiering March 10.

Hatching tweens. Disney Channel's latest original movie, Hatching Pete, claimed a decent 4.1 million viewers Friday, though it didn't come close to the channel's top films.
Two previous "Cheetah Girls" movies also chalked up humongous numbers on Disney Channel — 6.5 million viewers in August 2003 and 7.8 million in August 2006.
The Disney Channel aired the film "Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars" in 2010.
...In 2010, Disney aired another MarVista Debby Ryan original in conjunction with a different Canadian kids network, and didn't even grant it entry into the DCOM pantheon at all. That's right: 16 Wishes is not DCOM canon.
Since debuting with the Diane Keaton-starring "Northern Lights" on Aug. 23, 1997, this series of made-for-TV films has been usually digestible, often cheesy, sometimes awful, and always a delightful way to escape reality for a little bit.
