Just Roll with It is an American family comedy television series created by Adam Small and Trevor Moore. It aired on Disney Channel from June 14, 2019, to May 14, 2021, and stars Ramon Reed, Kaylin Hayman, Suzi Barrett, Tobie Windham, and JC Currais.
Premise The series follows the blended Bennett-Blatt family as they navigate everyday life in Akron, Ohio. During certain scenes, a foghorn signals for the actors to break character while the live studio audience chooses from three possible outcomes. The selected option determines how the scene continues. If two choices receive the same number of votes, both are incorporated into the episode, requiring the cast to "just roll with it".
