Disney Channel orders pilot for Saturdays, a roller-skating teen comedy from Black-ish star Marsai Martin Saturdays

Deadline

Saturdays revolves around a 13-year-old roller-skater named Paris, played by Danielle Jalade. The comedy produced by Martin and created by Norman Vance Jr. "follows Paris, who, since the age of four, has been honing her skills on the cool parquet floor of Saturdays, a local skating rink owned and operated by a former ’90s hip-hop back-up dancer," according to Deadline. "With its neon lights, galaxy-painted rink and killer D.J. spinning the latest music, Saturdays is the place to show and prove. Paris is the leader of a skate crew and is determined to take them all the way to the top. However, she has sickle cell disease, and when it flares up, it’ll take every ounce of determination to prove the doubters wrong, including her concerned family."
