Liv and Maddie is a Disney Channel Original Series created by John Beck and Ron Hart and produced by It's a Laugh Productions for Disney Channel. It stars Dove Cameron playing identical twins. The series began production in April and began airing July 19, 2013.[1][2] The first promo for the series was seen on Friday, June 28, 2013, after the premiere of Disney's Mickey Mouse Shorts.
Plot
Liv and Maddie is about two 15-year-old polar opposite twins with different personalities. Liv is a happy, energetic show host whose show finished its final production, while Maddie is a sporty, active school basketball player who's got game. When Liv returns home from premiering the series finale of her show, Maddie gets nervous as she's always been enjoying herself when Liv was away, about going to school with Liv and getting along. Liv causes a lot of drama with Maddie, as she is always being sweet and addicted to talk about her stardom. Maddie, on the other hand, gets more nervous when Karen Rooney and Pete Rooney, their mom and dad, work at her school when they really try to let Liv and Maddie get along. Karen is a school psychologist and Pete is Maddie's basketball coach. Joey and Parker cause mischief when they try to sneak out during bed, and doing other ridiculous things their parents can't see.

Liv Rooney returns home from Hollywood after filming the series finale of her show. Her identical twin Maddie can't wait to have someone exactly like her. However, when Maddie is trying to get help with a guy from Liv, Liv changes the subject to show off a scene of her show. Upset that Liv cares more about herself than her sister, Maddie leaves, and Liv decides to make it up to her by disguising as Maddie to ask her crush to the dance, but is shocked and concerned when Maddie's crush says no (but later says yes to Maddie because he knew it was Liv). When Maddie gets upset that Liv asked the guy out, and got turned down, Liv decides to leave. Meanwhile, Joey and Parker take advantage of the fact that their parents are focusing on Liv and Maddie, and create a "Bro-cave". In the end Liv and Maddie make up, and Liv decides to stay.
