Inside the lively set of Wingin’ It at Bennett High School, Toronto, the usual high school vibe is swapped for a blend of magic, music, and playful drama. Porter, portrayed by Demetrius Joyette, quietly works his angelic tricks on Carl, played by Dylan Everett, while Jane, played by Brittany Adams, and Brittany, portrayed by Hannah Lochner, rehearse a fresh dance routine. The on-screen energy betrays nothing of the hours spent behind the scenes, where the cast builds the world fans have come to love on Family Channel.
WINGIN’ IT has become a family favorite, with a broad appeal to kids, tweens, teens, and even adults who enjoy smart humor and warm, authentic moments. The production recently opened its doors to a behind-the-scenes day, offering a glimpse into Season 3 and the ongoing magic that makes the show so memorable for audiences in Canada and the United States alike.
Three core cast members — Sebastian Hearn as Serge, Demetrius Joyette as Porter, and Dylan Everett as Carl — shared glimpses into Season 3 and offered stories from the set, illustrating how the show balances humor with heartfelt themes.
Sebastian Hearn describes Serge’s evolution from season one to season three. Previously, Serge played the role of a bully toward Carl, but in the newer episodes the dynamic softens. “In season 1, Serge was the antagonist,” Hearn explains. “In season 3, they’re closer and more supportive, though there’s still friendly competition that keeps things lively.” The shift reflects a longer arc toward friendship and loyalty that resonates with fans who have watched Serge and Carl grow together.
Demetrius Joyette weighs in on Porter’s maturation, noting that the character becomes more thoughtful and strategic in his decisions. “Porter is still himself, but he makes wiser choices and puts real effort into solving problems—there’s more planning and reflection,” Joyette says. “Yet Porter will never fully outgrow his quirks, which keeps him endearing to the audience.”
Dylan Everett reflects on Carl’s progress: the character exudes more confidence and independence, discovering his own “cool” while navigating the chaos around him. “Carl is stepping into his own and learning to trust his instincts,” Everett observes, highlighting a growth that mirrors the show’s overarching messages about self-belief and authenticity.
A typical day on set starts early and runs long. Dylan Everett notes that recordings often begin around 6:30 to 6:45 in the morning, which means waking up before five. The shoots stretch into 12-hour blocks, leaving little room for idle moments. Yet the day is far from dull; the schedule is packed with scenes, rehearsals, and moments of camaraderie that remind everyone why they love making the show. “We get to do something we’re passionate about, and that energy carries through the entire day,” Everett says.
Humor and mishaps naturally appear on a busy set. The cast shares embarrassing moments with good humor. Sebastian Hearn recalls having to wear dresses and even pie himself with a real blueberry pie, a stunt that, while uncomfortable, brought laughs and a sense of shared mischief. Demetrius Joyette jokes about the surprise of being dressed in a girl’s costume and the teasing that follows, while Dylan laughs about wardrobe adventures that sometimes go a little wrong and become stories the crew tells for years. These moments, though silly, humanize the star power and remind fans that the performers are real people who love what they do.
Maintaining balance proves challenging. Working 10 to 13 hours daily can be exhausting, so even when time opens up, energy is limited. Still, weekends offer a chance to reconnect with friends and family, providing a counterbalance to the demanding schedule. The trio emphasizes the importance of staying connected with loved ones while pursuing a demanding career, underscoring the idea that life beyond the screen matters just as much as the shows themselves.
Staying connected with fans is a priority. Joyette explains that social media serves as a bridge between the set and the audience. He uses platforms to post updates and engage with fans, often asking how their days are going and thanking them for their support. The cast values the fan base, recognizing that their encouragement helps sustain the energy on set and motivates them to deliver their best performances.
Education remains a priority despite the filming schedule. When on set, a tutor arrives to provide academic support, and Carl, Porter, and Serge take time between scenes to focus on schoolwork. The balance between learning and filming is a testament to the diligence of the young actors and the support system that keeps them on track while their careers unfold.
Season 3 continues to carry forward messages of resilience and friendship. The themes of standing up for friends and showing up for those in need resonate through the episodes. Joyette and Hearn emphasize that the show consistently communicates positive values, with Carl finding confidence and learning to navigate challenges without pretending to be someone else. The evolving dynamics among the characters reinforce the idea that honesty and loyalty form the heart of every friendship on screen.
Even with Season 3 underway, Season 2 still has exciting moments to share in the near future. Expect more magic, intense moments, and nail-biting plot twists that will keep fans buzzing. Fans can anticipate a blend of hijinks, escalating magical moments, and relationship drama that intensifies as the stories unfold, pulling the cast into new and entertaining circumstances. The endgame for the season hints at deeper connections and more adventurous magic, delivering the kind of infectious energy fans adore.
When fans wonder about Carl and Jane, the cast offers a hopeful perspective. Dylan Everett hints that a dating dynamic could emerge, noting that the two have a long-standing friendship that could naturally develop into something more as the characters grow. The chemistry between Carl and Jane is a key element that viewers have followed with interest, and the idea of a meaningful romance adds another layer to the evolving on-screen relationships.
On set, humor remains a shared trait. Demetrius Joyette and Dylan Everett both name-seeking out the jokester of the group, with each offering affectionate jokes about who brings the most lighthearted chaos to the day. The playful banter is part of what makes the experience enjoyable and helps maintain a positive, collaborative atmosphere among cast and crew.
With the new episodes in place and Season 3 continuing to unfold, fans can expect a mix of wonder, humor, and heartfelt moments as the cast navigates magical mishaps, friendships, and the everyday realities of teenage life. The on-set energy, the growth in the characters, and the ongoing sense of community around the show make Wingin’ It a standout series on Family Channel, one that continues to invite audiences to laugh, cheer, and believe in the magic of friendship.
