Grace VanderWaal Makes Acting Debut In 'Stargirl' Trailer For Disney+

Grace VanderWaal strums her ukulele in the trailer for her upcoming acting debut in Stargirl!

The young singer is celebrating her 16th birthday today. Happy Birthday Grace!

Here’s a synopsis: Leo Borlock is an average student at Mica High School. He gets decent grades, is a member of the school’s marching band and has always been content flying under the radar. But all that changes when he meets Stargirl Caraway, a confident and colorful new student with a penchant for the ukulele, who stands out in a crowd.

She is kind, finds magic in the mundane and touches the lives of others with the simplest of gestures. Her eccentricities and infectious personality charm Leo and the student body, and she quickly goes from being ignored and ridiculed to accepted and praised, then back again, sending Leo on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

Stargirl also stars Graham Verchere, Karan Brar, Darby Stanchfield, Maximiliano Hernandez, and Giancarlo Esposito, and will premiere March 13th on Disney+!

Giancarlo Esposito Says 'Better Call Saul' to End After Season 6

Better Call Saul will end after six seasons, according to star Giancarlo Esposito.

The 60-year-old actor recently opened up about the Breaking Bad prequel’s conclusion.

“It’s tricky with [co-creator Vince Gilligan]. If you look at the Breaking Bad model, he said five years, five seasons, but it was really five and six,” Giancarlo told Collider, referencing the show’s split final season.

As for Better Call Saul, he added, “There will be six seasons. It seems like that’s the way, the comfortable way, to end this show.”

Despite Giancarlo‘s statement, a source tells THR that an endgame isn’t set in stone yet.

Better Call Saul is currently in production on its fifth season, which is expected to air on AMC in early 2020.
