Yara also explained what fans can expect to see from her character Zoey on her new spin-off, college-ish.

Well, Zoey and I are very different people. And so I’m respecting that and I hope that we just see growth from her. There are moments when her inner Yara comes out and there are moments in which my inner Zoey comes out, but I really can’t promise anything

Freeform, Disney’s young adult television and streaming network, has ordered “college-ish” (working title) starring Yara as Zoey Johnson and Deon Cole as Charlie Telphy. Freeform has ordered 13 episodes of the half-hour, single-camera comedy which is set to premiere early 2018 on Freeform and the Freeform App available on connected TV, mobile devices and online.
