The Disney Channel's "Good Luck Charlie" is only in its first season, but it has already proven to be popular enough to get renewed for a second and to get its own original movie.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Charlie" season 2 is likely to debut next year, and Disney is also planning an original movie based on the show that would feature the show's cast.
"Charlie" is Disney's top-rated series among kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14, and averages 4.1 million viewers per week. TV by the Numbers reported that the April series debut drew 5.1 million viewers, and that many adults watched with their kids.
That was part of Disney's strategy with the show, for it to be watched by the whole family, including adults -- the same way "The Cosby Show" and "The Wonder Years" once did, according to a piece previewing the show in the Los Angeles Times.
The show revolves around three siblings who help their working parents raise their newborn baby. The show is told through the point of view of 17-year-old Teddy through her video diary entries.
