Filed in: celebrity by admin on 05-26-09

Have you seen the premieres for the new Disney XD series “Zeke & Luther”? The series has received a premiere date and it’s coming the Disney on June 15th @ 8:30 p.m., ET/PT. The series delivers sharp yet heartfelt humor as it follows the adventures of two teenage best friends on a quest to become world famous skateboarders. It also introduces a talented young cast – Hutch Dano, Adam Hicks, Daniel Curtis Lee and Ryan Newman.

See below for the show description, as well as the premiere night lineup.

In “Zeke and Luther,” two fearless sidewalk surfers and best friends gear up and put their right foot forward to master the awesome art form of skateboarding (which is also their principle method of transportation). Along the way, they navigate the literal and figurative luge of teen years with all of its tricks, grinds, obstacles and occasional slams. Quick to challenge the boys’ claim to being the best skateboarders in the neighborhood is friend and foe Kojo, also 15. Kojo’s got a big attitude and a big mouth, and takes great pleasure in taking Zeke and Luther down a peg whenever he can. Another thorn in their side is Ginger, Zeke’s 12-year-old sister who finds her brother’s skateboarding dreams childish, to say the least. Produced on location in and around Torrance, California, “Zeke and Luther” is from Turtle Rock Productions, Inc., and carries a TV-Y7 parental guideline.
