History
The series originated as Hanging with Adam & Naomi, hosted by Adam Roberts and Naomi Sequeira, who had previously presented the ASTRA-nominated program Backstage Pass and other Disney Channel interstitials. Sequeira left in 2015 and was replaced by Ashleigh Wells, prompting a rename to Hanging with Adam & Ash. On 13 February 2017, the short-form series expanded to a 30-minute runtime and was retitled Hanging With, with Roberts and Wells as primary hosts joined by additional Disney Channel personalities. In November 2017, the show reverted to its original short-form format while retaining the extra presenters. A weekly 30-minute episode called Hanging With: Weekend Hangout aired from January 2018 to April 2019, recapping the week's segments. The final episode aired on 20 September 2019, before the network's closure in 2020.
