Mitchell tells InStyle that Good Trouble gives her a chance to breathe life into another version of her character from The Fosters. She’s happy to be able to explore a different side of Callie.

“I definitely, since my Disney days, have made an effort to delve a little deeper,” Mitchell tells InStyle. “Good Trouble was another really good opportunity to do that. It was a character that I know really well, but put in a different light. It’s a little more sophisticated, which was exciting. Some of the themes are… I don’t know if they’re dark, but they’re definitely more serious.”
