Do you think Disney Channel (US) will air Season 2?


So first they air the show Fridays at 9p. Then they move it to Sundays in July. Then the show does not return until September, where episodes are scheduled to air weekdays at 5p. Finally, towards the end of the season, they move the show to weekdays at 11p. It's just absurd--never seen a show treated like that on Disney.

I thought it was cool that they were expanding into some drama, but I guess the show has no place on this channel.

maybe but who knows .... unlike their other shows its already made for another channel so its just kind of like extra for them to air it on DC right? But they have a really crowded lineup right now because they pumped out like 4-5 new shows this year alone, even if GMW and BFW are apparently being cancelled (though that plus the end of Liv & Maddie could clear out a little wiggle room).

I do think using it as kind of a summer show on DC and burning through episodes really quick is an interesting idea however. EIther way Backstage is honestly the only show in disney that i've found interesting since GMW took a huge dive in quality mid S2 and Liv + Maddie took a weird left turn near the end of S3.

I hope they will. As far as I know season 2 hasn't even began filming yet so we don't know how it will fit in to the Disney schedule that will be going on when it does air. Usually Disney doesn't air these import shows and TeenNick does, so hopefully if Disney can't find a place for it they will pick it up.
