Disney commissioned a pilot for an upcoming show called Amy from Amarillo.
The concept of the show is a comedy based on a supervillian family who have to go into hiding when the League of Villains orders their termination.
Not many details are available right now, aside from some casting information. Isabella Pappas has been cast as Amy and Lucy Davis as her mother Eva (Spark).
The pilot although filmed, has not been released yet. Nor has it been confirmed if this is a pilot episode or a pilot season.
Here is an video of Eve Bernstein auditioning for the role of Harley.
Given the dialogue from this video, it looks like Harley is the granddaughter of the landlady who owns the house Amy and Eve are renting. It also looks like she is playing the role of the best friend/confidante of Amy. I definitely hope she got cast as Harley for the show, if she's that good just acting to a camera with no props and only sounding off her mother, she'll be really good as a tv actress.
From the dialogue, it sounds like she's reading from an existing official script, although it is not clear if these scenes are all from the pilot episode or several episodes. I hope it's the second option, since it would feel way too rushed if that character arc played out in the first episode.
The dialogue also gives us Amy's supervillain name and power, a sonic screamer called Siren.

They retitled the series, it's new name is Meet the Mayhems. Unfortunately, Eve Bernstein did not get the role of Harley. I am disappointed by that, I think she would have been terrifically great as that character. Kayden Muller-Janssen is playing Harley. Cast photo: Kayden is on the girl on the left side of the image. Personally, I'm not so certain I want to watch this show anymore, I was hoping for a show about a single mother and daughter, because it would make it more character focussed, but it looks like it's just another generic family sitcom. Basically, the presence of additional family members causes the plot to be diverted too much from the main characters, with lots of secondary plot scenes interuppting the main story of the episode. This was the major flaw with a previous series, Best Friends Whenever, because for no reason, half the show would be dedicated to Shelby's brothers "doing something stupid" that had no relevance to the plot at all.
