Netflix's latest teen romance is the upcoming A Week Away, a musical set at a Christian summer camp for teens. The movie's cast features a mix of young stars you'll recognize, long-running adult comedians, and a handful of promising newcomers just breaking into the business. Both of the lead actors are faces you definitely know (and both got their breakout roles on Disney-related TV shows, coincidentally!), but you should also be keeping an eye on the up-and-coming members of the supporting cast. Before the movie starts streaming on Netflix on March 26, take a look at everything we know so far about who's in the cast and where we might have seen them before.

Bailee Madison as Avery
Madison isn't just starring as Christian teen camper Avery — she's also producing the movie! We've watched Madison grow up on TV, starting as the young Snow White (and uncanny Ginnifer Goodwin doppelganger) on Once Upon a Time, and moving on to shows including Trophy Wife, The Fosters, and, most recently, Good Witch.

Kevin Quinn as Will
Quinn is set to star as Will, a teenager sent to a Christian summer camp as an alternate to juvenile detention after getting in trouble with the law. Prior to this, he's best known for his work on Disney Channel: he played Xander on Bunk'd and appeared in the channel's 2016 remake of Adventures in Babysitting.

Sherri Shepherd
After being on daytime TV for years, there's no way you don't recognize Shepherd! She co-hosted The View from 2007 to 2014, but she's much more than a talk show host. A longtime comic actress, she's had roles on everything from the Disney show K.C. Undercover to Rick and Morty to How I Met Your Mother and 30 Rock. More recently, she competed on The Masked Singer in 2019 and currently appears on the sitcom Call Your Mother.

David Koechner
Comedian Koechner has the kind of résumé plenty of people dream about. He's been working steadily for decades, starting out in the '90s on Saturday Night Live and moving on to roles like The Office's Todd Packer and recurring spots on The Goldbergs, Bless This Mess, and more. Koechner also has appeared in a number of popular comedy movies, including Anchorman 2, and Get Smart.
Jahbril Cook
We talk a lot about "Hollywood newcomers," but Cook really is one! A Week Away will be Cook's very first onscreen acting credit.
Kat Conner Sterling
Sterling has only been on the scene for a couple of years, and in that time, she's snagged a couple of guest spots on TV shows, including the superhero drama The Gifted and the procedural 9-1-1.
Iain Tucker
Tucker's first major project came just a couple of years ago, when he played Rick on the Netflix series Insatiable. Since then, he's worked on a handful of smaller projects and short films.
