Netflix ordered Alexa & Katie straight to series, with 13 episodes set to premiere sometime in 2018.

The series follows two best friends (played by Berelc and May) who are heading into their freshman year of high school. The duo will confront a major crisis that leaves them feeling like outsiders on their new adventure.
Thiessen is set to play Lori, the determined and protective mother of Paris Berelc’s Alexa.

She’s most recently been seen as the host of her own series, Dinner at Tiffani’s, on the cooking channel.
