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." It was announced today by Adam Bonnett, Executive Vice President, Original Programming, Disney Channels Worldwide. 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. Production will begin in October and is scheduled to premiere in 2016.

Bonnett said, "Disney XD is bringing together some of its most popular stars to assemble a super-sized series that will appeal to fans of both shows." He added, "Chris Peterson and Bryan Moore have been at the helm of delivering event programming for our viewers, and we're excited that they will continue to develop these imaginative worlds and characters that audiences have come to love."

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.
