Jessie Cast: Where Are They Now?

Disney Channel's Jessie (2011–2015) turned a houseful of mischievous kids and their Texan nanny into one of the most rewatched sitcoms of the 2010s. More than a decade after the Ross family closed the doors of the Fairfield, the cast has scattered across film, music, fashion, and Broadway. Here's where the Jessie cast is now.

Debby Ryan — Jessie Prescott

Debby Ryan went from playing the wide-eyed nanny to leading prestige TV. She starred in Netflix's dark comedy Insatiable, popped up in Night Teeth, and continues to release indie-pop music with her husband Josh Dun of Twenty One Pilots, whom she married in 2019. She has openly spoken about advocating for mental health and creative ownership for former child actors.

Peyton List — Emma Ross

Peyton List headlined the Jessie spin-off Bunk'd, then pivoted to genre work with Cobra Kai as Tory Nichols — arguably her most acclaimed role to date. She has also led the Hulu thriller Hollywood Stargirl appearances, modeled for major fashion houses, and produced her own content on YouTube.

Cameron Boyce — Luke Ross

Cameron Boyce, beloved for his comedic timing as Luke and his role as Carlos in Disney's Descendants trilogy, tragically passed away in July 2019 from a seizure caused by epilepsy. His family launched The Cameron Boyce Foundation, which funds epilepsy research and arts programs for underserved youth. His final performance arrived posthumously in Descendants 3 and the indie film Runt.

Karan Brar — Ravi Ross

Karan Brar reprised Ravi on Bunk'd and has since become a vocal advocate for South Asian representation in Hollywood. He wrote a widely-shared 2023 essay about mental health and grief following Cameron Boyce's death, and has been developing his own writing and producing projects.

Skai Jackson — Zuri Ross

Skai Jackson grew up in front of the camera and stayed busy: she competed on Dancing with the Stars Season 29, published the memoir Reach for the Skai, launched a fashion line, and continues acting in Disney and indie projects. She welcomed her first child in 2024.

Kevin Chamberlin — Bertram Winkle

Veteran Broadway actor Kevin Chamberlin returned to the stage with Chicago and earned acclaim for regional productions. He also appears regularly on procedurals and recently lent his voice to several animated series.

The Jessie Legacy

Jessie keeps finding new fans on Disney+, and Peyton List and Karan Brar's continued Bunk'd runs kept the universe alive into the 2020s. Cameron Boyce's foundation ensures his impact extends far beyond the screen — a fitting legacy for a cast that defined a generation of Disney Channel viewers.
