K.C. Undercover is an American sitcom developed for Disney Channel, created by Corinne Marshall and executive produced by Rob Lotterstein. The series stars Zendaya as K.C. Cooper, a high school student training to follow in her parents' footsteps as an undercover spy.

Plot

Set in Washington, D.C., the series follows K.C. Cooper, a high school math genius who gets recruited by her parents, Craig and Kira Cooper, after she discovers that they are secretly undercover spies. Her brother, Ernie, tries to help because he feels left out, and eventually joins the team, and his desire led Craig and Kira to get a new robot child named Judy.

Each episode centers on K.C. and her family as they contend with common familial issues while also performing missions to save the country.

Cast and characters

Main

• K.C. Cooper (Zendaya) is a high school student training to become an undercover spy. She is highly proficient at math, basketball, and karate. K.C. is a tomboy.
• Marisa (Veronica Dunne) is K.C.'s best friend. She is cheerful, girly and a very outgoing person. In "Photo Bombed", she learns about K.C.'s spy life. In "Twas the Fight Before Christmas", her last name was revealed to be Miller.
• Ernie Cooper (Kamil McFadden) is K.C. and Judy's brother and a stereotypical nerd. He is a computer genius and joins the family's spy team in "My Sister From Another Mother...Board". He is often ignored by his parents (especially his father, who treats him as expendable during missions), which gives him a severe inferiority complex.
• Judy (Trinitee Stokes) is K.C. and Ernie's sarcastic robot sister who looks like a 10-year-old girl. Her robotic nature makes her very smart, but she has no social skills, although she is considered to be sassy. Her name stands for "Junior Undercover Digital Youth". She does not appear in the show until "My Sister from Another Mother...Board", when the agency believes Ernie wouldn't make a good enough spy before he quickly proves them wrong.
• Kira Cooper (Tammy Townsend) is K.C., Ernie, and Judy's mom and also an undercover spy.
• Craig Cooper (Kadeem Hardison) is K.C., Ernie, and Judy's dad and also an undercover spy.

Recurring

• Brett Willis (Ross Butler) is an enemy spy and K.C.'s ex-boyfriend. In "Operation: Other Side, Part 2", it's shown that Brett was kicked out of the Organization, after he was discovered working as a double agent and being the son of Zane, he now works for the Other Side as a hand-to-hand combat instructor. In "K.C. and Brett: The Final Chapter" Brett was sent to kill K.C. but failed and he is now on the run from the Other Side. He is now currently on the run in Canada.
• Petey Goldfeder (James DiGiacomo) is a "friend" of Judy's. Judy finds him annoying, as he has proven to be skeptical of the Cooper household, when Judy is alone. He's shown to be obnoxious and loud everytime he screams out Judy's name.
• Mrs. Goldfeder (Jaime Moyer) is the Coopers' neighbor and Petey's mother. Like Petey, she is also obnoxious and loud, frequently visiting the Cooper's house.
• Agent Beverly (Sherri Shepherd) is a member of the Organization. She is good friends with the Cooper family.
• Agent Johnson (Rick Hall) is a member of the Organization.
• Victor (Lee Reherman) is the leader of the Other Side.
• Zane (François Chau) is a member of the Other Side and the father of Brett.
