Ella Anderson (A Fairly Odd Summer) also stars as Henry's little sister, Piper.
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn (13 X 30 minutes) – NETWORK PREMIERE

Aidan Gallagher (Modern Family) plays the germaphobic Nicky, joined by Casey Simpson (The Goldbergs) as the overachieving Ricky, and Mace Coronel (Bold and the Beautiful) as the pint-sized ladies man, Dicky. Brian Stepanek (Two and a Half Men) and Allison Munn (What I Like About You) star as the Haley parents. The series is created by Matt Fleckenstein (Wendell & Vinnie, iCarly, Victorious) and executive produced by Fleckenstein and Michael Feldman (See Dad Run).
MISSION: 4COUNT (8 x 30 minutes) – WORLD PREMIERE
Premieres: Saturdays at 6 p.m. ET/PT beginning October 11

The series chronicles band members Aaron Scott, Ben Robinson and brothers Adam and Kieran Ackerman, who have left their homes in California to hone their musical skills in Canada. Sending the group on multiple missions, Nick Cannon gives the guys a boot camp on making it in the music industry with a relentless schedule of rehearsals, recording sessions and live performances. He's brought a manager, Marty, on board to make sure the group gets to where they need to be, but who often ends up side-tracking Nick's agenda with his own misadventures.
