Three Hit Disney Shows Are Ending
Above: the final casts of Bunk'd, Raven's Home, and Secrets of Sulphur Springs.
by spaceotter42
Disney Channel's two longest running shows, "Raven's Home" and "Bunk'd," have been canceled, and a third popular show, "Secrets of Sulphur Springs," will also not return.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bunk'd will air its final two episodes this Friday, August 2, 2024. The series was a spin-off of "Jessie," where three of the Ross kids went off to summer camp. The Ross kids' actors were written off the show after three seasons, but the storylines kept going using new, younger kids visiting the camp.
The only actor who appeared throughout the entire series was Miranda May, who played camp counselor Lou Hockhauser, eventually the owner of the camp, and May herself became an executive producer of the show. Camp Kikiwaka became the Kikiwaka Ranch as it morphed into a western theme in its sixth season, and the show gained a new subtitle: "Bunk'd: Learning the Ropes."
Bunk'd ran longer than any other Disney Channel live action show, 7 seasons, 162 episodes, and nine years, having premiered July 31, 2015. A highlight of the series depicted a gay marriage proposal in season six.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Raven-Symoné starring sitcom "Raven's Home" was a revival of her earlier teen show "That's So Raven" which ran for four seasons from Jan. 17, 2003 to Nov. 10, 2007. Raven's Home, which now depicted her character Raven Baxter as a divorced adult with two teen children of her own, lasted even longer, for six seasons from July 21, 2017 to Sept. 3, 2023.
Among its ground-breaking storylines were an anti-vaping episode and a recurring trans character. Although Raven herself will be gone, her show will spin off another sequel focusing on Raven Baxter's young cousin Alice, again played by Mykal-Michelle Harris, as she was in Raven's Home.
Raven-Symoné will executive produce and direct the spinoff, "Alice in the Palace," which will have Alice move to England and interact with her doppelganger, Duchess Clementine. It's a sort of "Prince & The Pauper" sitcom, where the two will pretend to be each other.
A previous Raven spin-off, "Cory In The House," aired for two seasons in 2007-08. It featured Raven's dad serving as a chef in the White House, and showcased the antics of her brother Cory.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third ending series, "Secrets of Sulphur Springs," didn't run as long as the other two, but it was still popular. It ran for three seasons from Jan. 15, 2021 to March 24, 2023.
It was not a sitcom but an adventure/mystery show involving science fiction (time travel) and supernatural elements. Well-written and well-acted, it will be missed for its innovative approach to fictional and realistic problems. It featured an interracial teen romance and a strong anti-racism message.
The series starred teen actors Preston Oliver as Griffin Campbell and Kyliegh Curran as Harper Dunn.
The series sadly ended with a cliffhanger that was never resolved. Teens Griffin and Harper were visited by their son Nick from the future in an episode appropriately titled, "Nick of Time."
Writers note: I will miss all three of these shows. They weren't perfect but still harkened back to Disney's old style of entertainment with some relevant new topics included. Will newer shows be as good? Time will tell.

Okay on Bunk’d, Lou’s last name is Hockhauser and we know Bunk’d exists in the same universe as the Suite Life because of the episode of Jessie when Jessie meets Mr. Moseby, so I’m not saying Lou’s related to Arwin but
