The new superhero comedy The Villains of Valley View premieres this Friday night on the Disney Channel (with the first 5 episodes available soon after on Disney+ starting July 22nd), and Cherry the Geek TV is celebrating the premiere by bringing you interviews with the cast all week long!
Today we bring you cast members Lucy Davis (The Office, Shawn of the Dead, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), who plays the supervillain Surge and her alter ego–the family matriarch Eva, and James Patrick Stuart (General Hospital) who plays the family’s father Vic aka supervillain Kraniac. When teenage supervillain Havoc stands up to the head of the League of Villains, her family is forced to change their identities and relocate to a sleepy Texas suburb. With the help of her effervescent new neighbor Hartley, Havoc – going incognito as “Amy” – must somehow hide her superpowers and quell her villainous nature in favor of something she and the rest of her family have fought against all their lives: being normal.
We discuss the show with Lucy and James, as well as the amazing costumes, and the wacky behind-the-scenes pranks that the cast plays on each other. You can watch the interview by clicking on the link below:
Tomorrow we chat with Malachi Barton (Colby/Flashform) and Reed Horstmann (Jake/Chaos), and if you missed yesterday’s interview, make sure to go back and check out our conversation with Isabella Pappas (Amy/Havoc) and Kayden Muller-Janssen (Hartley).

Patricia Belcher (“The Week of”) recurs as Celia.
