That same year, List began her work on Disney Channel, and was cast as Emma Ross, the eldest of four affluent children, on the Disney Channel series Jessie alongside Debby Ryan and her Diary of a Wimpy Kid co-star Karan Brar. The show attained millions of viewers on average per episode,[19] and soon became List's biggest role at the time. The show ran for four seasons and ended in February 2015.[20] At the same time, it was announced that List, along with Brar and Skai Jackson, would reprise their roles in the spinoff series Bunk'd.[21][22] The show began airing in 2015.[23] Along with reprising the role on Bunk'd, List also had appeared as Emma Ross on other Disney Channel shows, such as Austin & Ally and I Didn't Do It. Along with her television work, List continued her work in films.

In 2016, List co-starred along with Jacob Bertrand in the Disney Channel Original Movie The Swap, appearing as Ellie O'Brien.[29] The premiere averaged over two million viewers,[30] and had a mixed reception. In the same year, List appeared as Laina Michaels in the YouTube Premium film The Thinning, starring alongside Logan Paul and Lia Marie Johnson.[31] In 2017, List appeared in the teen comedy film The Outcasts as Mackenzie Smith.[32] Production had initially began in 2014 under its original title The Outskirts,[33] and was not released until three years later.

Personal life

List is in a relationship with Jacob Bertrand, her co-star in Cobra Kai.[49]

Namefellow

List shares the same name with another fellow actress, Peyton List (born 1986).[50][51] The younger List was interviewed by Access Hollywood, saying she uses Peyton R. List to avoid confusion.[50] Union SAG-AFTRA's policy avoids living actors with the same name; this instance went unnoticed.[50]

Once, the two young actresses appeared in the same scene when they both appeared on As the World Turns.[50][11] Years later, this Peyton List cited confusion when both were staying at the same hotel. They received each other's daily call sheets and voicemails messages.[50]

Entertainment industry news website IndieWire noted the confusion appeared on Wikipedia, where both actresses' articles began with exactly the same sentence, "Peyton List is an American actress and model."[51]

Both actresses also voiced characters in the animated movie Batman: Hush, the younger as Batgirl and the older as Poison Ivy.
