Netflix’s ‘13 Going on 30’ Reboot Adds Taylor Ortega, Tim Meadows and Dan Bucatinsky to Cast

Netflix’s upcoming reboot of the 2004 romantic comedy ‘13 Going on 30’ has added three more performers, Deadline reported on July 16. Taylor Ortega, Tim Meadows and Dan Bucatinsky have come aboard for undisclosed roles in the series adaptation currently in development at Netflix, expanding a cast that had already included Emily Bader, Logan Lerman, Adeline Rudolph and Jessica Alba.

Deadline’s report said Ortega is known for Big Mistakes, Meadows for Peacemaker, and Bucatinsky for The Comeback. The publication did not describe what characters the three new additions would portray, nor did it provide any details about how the reboot would handle the original film’s storyline in the new format.

The reboot’s overall cast now totals seven performers, with the earlier announcements already placing Bader, Lerman, Rudolph and Alba among the principal names. Netflix has not publicly outlined the structure of the project, including episode counts, release timing, or whether it will mirror the film’s plot beats or reframe them.

Production for the reboot has begun in Los Angeles, Deadline reported. The report did not specify the production start date, filming schedule, or expected duration, and it did not indicate whether additional casting announcements are planned for other roles.

While Netflix’s ‘13 Going on 30’ reboot is drawing from a well-known feature film property, the new casting adds performers whose recent work spans comedy and genre television. Ortega’s involvement was announced alongside Meadows and Bucatinsky, all of whom join the previously announced ensemble in roles that have not been publicly detailed.

No official synopsis was included in the Deadline report. Netflix has not, according to the reporting cited, provided public character descriptions, story arcs, or production notes beyond confirming the reboot is moving forward with the named cast.

As filming proceeds in Los Angeles, the next milestones for the project will likely include additional casting, official confirmation of character assignments for Ortega, Meadows and Bucatinsky, and a more complete description of the reboot’s premise. Until then, the project remains in the early public development phase, with production underway and roles still unconfirmed in character terms.
