Dylan Sprouse** is a Disney legend. Shows like *The Suite Life of Zack & Cody have become a staple of the Disney Channel, and now, he’s returning to the famed network in a guest-starring role 15 years later. Collider is delighted to confirm that Sprouse is joining the cast of Big City Greens ***for Season 5 in an episode titled “Gloria Green.” Sprouse plays Tyler, a man who comes to the home of the Greens so that he can take Gloria out on a date. He quickly realizes that Gloria’s “family” isn’t what he expected, and now, we have an exclusive sneak peek at Sprouse’s return to the Disney Channel!

Sprouse spoke about joining the season, saying, “I always love jumping in the recording booth, especially for a show this fun. What a great team and I’m so excited to watch!” Season 5 is described as follows: Big City Greens follows the offbeat adventures of 10-year-old Cricket Green, a mischievous and optimistic country boy who moves to the big city with his wildly out-of-place family — older sister Tilly, father Bill and Gramma Alice. Cricket’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm lead him and his family on epic journeys and into the hearts of his new neighbors. The new season follows the family and their friends as they navigate some of their biggest adventures yet.”

In addition to Sprouse, Season 5 of Big City Greens includes the series stars, Chris Houghton as Cricket Green, Marieve Herington as Tilly Green, Bob Joles as Bill Green, Artemis Pebdani as Gramma Alice, Wendi McLendon-Covey as Nancy Green, Zeno Robinson as Remy, and Anna Akana **as Gloria, all returning to the series, which is set to air on the Disney Channel on August 21 with five episodes. It will air on Disney+ the following day. The rest of the Season 5 guest cast includes: Stephen King, Luke Combs, Megan Stalter, Chad Michael Murray, Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Cobie Smulders, Clark Gregg, Matt Gourley, Sona Movsesian, Aaron Bleyaert, Martha Kelly, Steve Schirripa, and Mike Colter.

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Part of what makes Sprouse’s return so special is the fact that he became a household name with his twin brother, Cole Sprouse, on the Disney Channel. Before their work on the network, the two starred in shows like ***Friends ***as Ben Geller and in the movie ***Big Daddy ***as Julian, when the two would share the same roles to not put too much strain on one of the young twins. Then they went on to star in *The Suite Life of Zack & Cody *with spin-off shows like The Suite Life on Deck. They’re Disney legends, and it is fun to see Sprouse back on a show like Big City Greens!

New episodes of *Big City Greens *begin airing on Disney Channel on August 21, with the first five episodes arriving on Disney+ the next day. Additional episodes will roll out throughout the remainder of the year and 2027. Stay tuned at Collider for more.
