That’s because the 14-year-old part-Cuban-American actress will be starring in Shake It Up: Made in Japan, a special Disney Channel event for Thorne’s popular seriesShake It Up—which has been picked up for another season.
Premiering next month, the episode will be part of a three-part finale and feature Thorne’s character CeCe Jones and her cohort Rocky (Zendaya) as they travel to Japan to be part of a dance video production.

Shake It Up: Made in Japan will air Friday, August 17 at 8/7c.
