The spin-off to Sonny with a Chance, So Random! is a sketch comedy series of Disney. After Sonny with a Chance ended after two seasons due to Demi Lovato's health reasons, Disney removed her character and introduced the spin-off. The spin-off cast included Doug Brochu, Tiffany Thornton, Sterling Knight and others. However, the spin-off did not explore the characters well and was canceled by the channel after its first season in 2012.
