According to TV Blackbox, the much-loved Treehouse book series is officially heading to ABC as a new children's television adaptation — and the fancasting conversation is already heating up.
Why This Adaptation Has Fans Talking
The Treehouse books have built a devoted following across multiple generations of young readers, which means this adaptation carries serious nostalgia weight. For fans who grew up with these stories, the prospect of seeing beloved characters brought to life on screen is equal parts exciting and nerve-wracking — nobody wants their childhood favorites miscast. And with a kids' series, the casting stakes are uniquely high: you need young performers who can carry storylines authentically, plus adult actors (think teachers, parents, mentors) who can hold their own without overshadowing the kids.
The roles are wide open at this stage, which makes this exactly the kind of project where fancasting thrives. Who has the right energy for the gang's ringleader? Which young actress could nail the heart of the group? myCast fans have already been thinking about it.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community hasn't waited for an official announcement to start dreaming — there are already multiple active fan-cast stories exploring the Treehouse universe, and the picks across them reveal some genuinely interesting patterns.
In The Treehouse Gang, the 12-role story with the most votes so far, Owen Kyle Bouhalkoum has picked up 2 votes for Cooper — the only candidate in any of these stories to earn more than a single vote, which in a field this competitive is worth noticing. Meanwhile, Isabela Merced has been tapped for Arabella, Maia Kealoha for Rosie, and James Corden for Kenny — an adult role that suggests fans are already thinking about the comedic supporting cast alongside the child leads. Kristen Cui shows up across multiple stories too, cast as Josie in this version, which speaks to how strongly fans associate her with this kind of ensemble kid-adventure energy.
