PUBLISHED JAN 2, 2019

If you are like me, you're already bingewatched season two of Netflix's 'Alexa and Katie,' which premiered on Wednesday, December 26. It further shapes the storylines of our favorite teens Alexa (Paris Berelc) and Katie (Isabel Mey), and their tightly knit group of friends and family, among whom a key member is the naive and perpetually joyful Hannah, played by Merit Leighton. 

Hannah brings a more innocent outlook towards life on the show and offers a child-like enthusiasm that keeps the rest of the core group optimistic about the things swirling around them. Leighton spoke with Meaww about the Netflix show, her animation show ‘She-Ra and the Princesses of Power,’ which also airs on Netflix and her obsession with K-pop band EXO.
