'Game On: A Comedy Crossover' Event: Release date, plot, cast, trailer and all you need to know about the Netflix special
Netflix is resorting to some much-needed look back to the good old Disney days, when Hannah Montana would randomly appear on the 'Jonas Brothers' and 'The Wizards of Waverly Place' to give us some good old fashioned hits in the 2000s, in the form of crossover episodes. These episodes featuring stars from other Disney shows soared to great heights of popularity back in the day - something that still has us '90s kids begging for them crossover marathons back on screen. Looks like Netflix heard our wishes and decided to answer them in the form of its latest release: a new-age crossover special of some of its highest-grossing kids series. Titled 'Game On: A Comedy Crossover Event', here's all you need to know about it
Release date

It’s all fun and games when they share the screen for some friendly competition."
Cast
All the beloved older characters are returning to reprise their roles in the Netflix special. Eva Longoria appears in what looks like a referee slash cheerleading role.

She auditioned for and won the role of "Isabella" on the popular series, The Young and the Restless (1973).

From cycling backward to sumo wrestling - the trailer has it all. When the kids say "Why don't we settle this in the fields?", they mean it. And the adults get pretty competitive too!
