Pair of Kings Season 3 Overhaul Timeline: from Musso's Exit to the Series Finale
To restore the two-king dynamic, Disney executives looked inward, pulling another network regular from their live-action stable. Adam Hicks, well known for co-starring in Disney XD's skateboard comedy Zeke and Luther and the musical film Lemonade Mouth, was brought in to play King Boz. The script established Boz as Boomer and Brady's long-lost triplet brother, separated at birth during a vicious island storm and raised by a family of mindu apes on the nearby island of Mindu.
Hicks brought high physical energy and offbeat line delivery, but the tonal shift was jarring. Brady had anchored the emotional stakes through his earnest, unrequited pursuit of Mikayla and his lifelong brotherly bond with Boomer. Boz was a feral, eccentric wild card with animalistic instincts. The natural Chicago-born sibling banter that Musso and Shaw spent two years refining evaporated overnight, leaving Shaw to carry the emotional anchor of the series alone.
