TikToker Lala Sadii, boasting 25.7 million followers on the platform, is set to star in and executive produce a new scripted series at Disney. The show, titled "Lala IRL," aims to encapsulate her rise to fame and the challenges that come with it. Sadii, at 23 years old, faces jealous classmates, intrigued friends, concerned siblings and strict parents who would disapprove of her newfound success.

Writer Peter Paige, known for his work on "The Fosters" and "Good Trouble," is attached to pen, produce and direct the series. Alongside Paige, producers Lauren Gellert, Billy Mann, Endemol Shine North America's Sharon Levy and Lisa Fahrenholt are also on board. This development follows Disney's trend of investing in creator-driven projects, including Hulu's comedy series centered around media personality Jake Shane, who will play a version of himself in the untitled series being developed in collaboration with 20th Television.
