Premise[]

Like the original series, Thank You Teddy is set in the same house in Denver, Colorado, occupied by the Duncan family and takes place in 2022. When their youngest daughter, Charlie Duncan, turns twelve, she is granted access to a series of video diaries her older sister Teddy Duncan prepared for her during her teenage years. Bob Duncan and his wife Amy Duncan (née Blankenhooper) have adjusted to only having two kids at home, Charlie and their youngest child, the mischievous yet charming Toby Duncan, but when their son PJ sells his mildly successful peanut butter and jelly sandwich truck business for $50,000, he "retires" and moves back home just as their other son, Gabe, graduates college and returns to the nest while he attempts to figure out his next move. Teddy Duncan, the second-oldest Duncan kid, moved in a few blocks down from her childhood home and pursued her dream of becoming a songwriter. However, while her on-and-off boyfriend Spencer Walsh is on tour, she finds herself returning to the Duncan house shortly after finding out that she is pregnant.

Cast[]

Main[]

Charlie Duncan (Mia Talerico), the second-youngest Duncan sibling. Upon turning twelve, she is granted access to her older sister Teddy’s video diaries, which were first recorded twelve years ago, when Charlie was a newborn. These video diaries allow her to navigate her life as a teenager, as they provide advice and lessons. She is typically a happy-go-lucky person, although she can be rather mischievous at times.
Amy Duncan (née Blankenhooper) (Leigh Allyn-Baker), Bob’s wife and the mother of PJ, Teddy, Gabe, Charlie, and Toby. Having just two kids at home, compared to previously having five, she is finally able to achieve her dream and be the host of Good Morning Denver, which has now expanded to doing two shows a day. She is often portrayed as dutiful, protective and comedic.
Bob Duncan (Eric Allan Kramer), the father of Teddy, PJ, Gabe, Charlie, and Toby, and husband of Amy. He owns a pest control company, "Bob’s Bugs Be Gone", and is far less authoritative and strict than his wife.
Teddy Duncan (Bridgit Mendler), Charlie’s older sister and the second-oldest Duncan sibling. She is newly pregnant and is committed to being a single mom. She and her ex-boyfriend/baby daddy Spencer Walsh’s band Spencer and The Shriek has disbanded after their breakup, however she is determined to continue songwriting.
PJ Duncan (Jason Dolley), Charlie’s oldest sibling. He often appears awkward, somewhat careless, and childish, but on numerous occasions has been known to be resourceful, creative, and intelligent. He has recently sold his mildly successful peanut butter and jelly sandwich truck business for $50,000, and is retiring in addition to moving back home.
Gabe Duncan (Bradley Steven Perry), Charlie’s middle-child brother. He is a prankster and troublemaker, although more subdued as he has gotten older, and he has a rivalry with their neighbor Mrs. Dabney, who is often the target of his and Toby’s pranks and stunts. He has graduated from college and moved back home, at least until he "finds his calling".
Toby Duncan (Roger Dale Floyd), Charlie’s younger brother and the youngest of the Duncan siblings. He gets into trouble over his love of pulling pranks and rebels often, which allows him to have a special connection with his older brother, Gabe.

The prospect of becoming a somewhat empty nester again brings Amy to tears, forcing Bob to have to comfort her by showing her that both Charlie, Toby and Isabella will still need her. Eventually, Teddy decides against moving out as, though the Duncan household may be chaotic, it is primarily a place with plenty of love and plenty of positive influences and thus, Spencer instead buys a house in the neighborhood. A visit from Mrs. Dabney proves helpful as Gabe is told that Lauren is on a flight to Denver, having found a job there in order to officially begin her relationship with Gabe.

Unproduced episodes[]

According to showrunners Phil Baker and Drew Vaupen, a pair hour-long specials were scrapped from the first season, these being "Storm Show: Part 1 & 2" and "Baby on Board". Baker later revealed that "Storm Show: Part 1 & 2" would have seen the Duncan family going on one last vacation before the birth of Teddy’s baby and being stuck indoors due to a hurricane, with numerous secrets from various family members coming to light during that time. A page from the script was also shared via Twitter. The special later became the second season’s midseason finale and according to Baker, "roughly 40%" of the original version of the script made it into the released version. The second scrapped special, "Baby on Board", was intended to act as the season finale and would have covered the last days of Teddy’s pregnancy with the baby being past its due date, in addition to also covering the eventual birth of the baby. However, the episode was shortened to "Hang In There Baby", which solely focuses on Teddy giving birth. An episode featuring a transgender classmate of Charlie’s was also pitched but the idea was eventually dropped.

A second feature-length movie based on the series is in the works for Disney+, rumored to take place during the summer.

Music[]

Although a soundtrack for the show has not yet been released, several songs have been produced for the show. "Hang In There Baby (2020)", a re-recorded version of the original series’ theme song, was released as a promotional single and premiered on Radio Disney on February 1, 2020.
