Introducing the Cast of the Hit TV Show "Stuck in the Middle"

The Disney Channel show "Stuck in the Middle" was a fan favorite during its 2016-2018 run. The show centered around Harley Diaz, played by Jenna Ortega, the middle child in a family of seven kids. With its relatable stories and likable characters, "Stuck in the Middle" attracted millions of viewers during its three seasons.

But what has the cast been up to since the show ended in 2018? Let's take a look at where the stars of "Stuck in the Middle" are now.

Jenna Ortega (Harley Diaz)

As the star of the show, Jenna Ortega naturally attracted a lot of attention. Since playing the inventive Harley on "Stuck in the Middle," Ortega has gone on to blockbuster success. She had a prominent role in the hit slasher film "Scream 5" (2022), putting her scream queen talents on full display. Ortega also starred alongside Timothée Chalamet in the critically acclaimed coming-of-age film "Bones and All" (2022).

Upcoming projects for Ortega include the highly anticipated Netflix show "Wednesday," in which Ortega will play the lead role of Wednesday Addams. It's clear that this talented young actress is just getting started when it comes to making her mark on Hollywood.

Roni Akurati (Anusha Diaz)

Roni Akurati played Anusha Diaz, the brainy youngest sibling of the Diaz family. Since her time on "Stuck in the Middle," Akurati has continued acting while also focusing on her education. She took a break from acting in 2019 to concentrate on high school. Now 17, Akurati has set her sights on attending college to study film or journalism while continuing to audition for acting roles.

Cerie Leigh (Suzy Diaz)

Cerie Leigh brought laughs as the dramatic and eccentric Suzy Diaz. Leigh has stayed active as an actress since "Stuck in the Middle" wrapped up. She appeared in the 2019 Netflix movie "Secret Obsession" starring Brenda Song. Leigh also performs live theater at venues around the Los Angeles area. Her Instagram account shows her traveling the world when she's not busy acting or performing on stage.

Malachi Barton (Ethan Diaz)

Malachi Barton played the sporty and charming Ethan Diaz on the show. He has since landed guest roles on shows like "The Kids Are Alright" and "Colony." Barton also does voiceover work for cartoons and video games. Additionally, he is active on social media, posting TikTok videos and YouTube vlogs for his loyal fans. As Barton continues pursuing acting, it's clear the sky's the limit for this talented young performer.

Where Are They Now? The Cast Is Thriving

While "Stuck in the Middle" only aired for a few short years, it clearly served as a launching pad for the show's young stars. Both Jenna Ortega and Malachi Barton have discussed the lifelong bonds formed with their TV siblings during filming.

"We spent so much time together that they feel like family," said Ortega in an interview. "I know we'll be friends for life."

It's evident from the former co-stars' steady acting careers and real-life friendships that the impact of "Stuck in the Middle" carries on today, years after the final episode aired. Their social media posts show them supporting each other's current projects and hanging out together when their busy schedules allow.

Could a Reunion Happen Down the Road?

So will fans ever get to see the whole Diaz family back onscreen one day? It seems possible. Barton said he would "absolutely" be interested if the opportunity arose for a reunion show or movie.

"I loved working on 'Stuck in the Middle,'" Barton explained. "I think fans would really love seeing us all come back together again."
