Disney XD has ordered "Lab Rats: Elite Force," a spin-off of its two popular live-action comedy series, "Lab Rats: Bionic Island" and "Mighty Med."

Reprising their starring roles on their respective series are Billy Unger as Chase and Bradley Steven Perry as Kaz, Jake Short as Oliver, Paris Berelc as Skylar, and Kelli Berglund as Bree.

Merging the two series, "Lab Rats: Elite Force" is set in the "Lab Rats" world after the Mighty Med hospital is destroyed by a band of unknown super-villains.
