From Tipton Hotel To Hollywood: Where Are Zack And Cody Now? (2024-2025 Updates)

Contents

The iconic Disney Channel sitcom, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, first premiered nearly two decades ago, but the curiosity surrounding its stars—the mischievous Zack Martin and the brainy Cody Martin—has never waned. As of late 2024 and heading into 2025, the Sprouse twins, Dylan and Cole, have fully transitioned from child stars to serious Hollywood actors, each carving out distinct, successful, and often surprising career paths. This in-depth article provides the freshest updates on the lives, relationships, and major projects of the entire Tipton Hotel crew, from the twin brothers to London Tipton and Mr. Moseby.

The transition from a beloved Disney show to mature roles is a notoriously difficult jump, but Dylan Thomas Sprouse and Cole Mitchell Sprouse have navigated it with remarkable success. After taking time off to attend university, they returned to the screen, cementing their status as major players in new and exciting projects that will dominate the box office and streaming services throughout 2025.

The Sprouse Twins: Dylan and Cole Martin's Current Career Trajectories (2024-2025)

Dylan and Cole Sprouse, born on August 4, 1992, have one of the most unique career timelines in Hollywood. They began acting at just eight months old, sharing the role of Patrick Kelly on Grace Under Fire, before landing their breakthrough film role in Big Daddy (1999) alongside Adam Sandler. Their Disney era, which included The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (2005–2008) and the spin-off The Suite Life on Deck (2008–2011), made them global teen idols. Crucially, both twins took a break from acting to attend New York University (NYU), a move that allowed them to re-enter the industry on their own terms as adults.

Cole Sprouse: From Riverdale to The Rivals of Amziah King

Cole Sprouse has become synonymous with his role as the brooding, cynical Jughead Jones on The CW’s hit series Riverdale, which concluded its run in 2023. This role was instrumental in breaking the "Cody Martin" mold. However, his 2024 and 2025 slate shows a clear pivot toward feature films and darker material.

  • Lisa Frankenstein (2024): Cole starred as "The Creature" in this horror-comedy film, a modern twist on the Frankenstein story. The film, released in early 2024, showcased his ability to handle genre work and complex, non-verbal performance.
  • I Wish You All the Best (2024): He is also featured in this film adaptation of the popular young adult novel, playing the character Thomas.
  • The Rivals of Amziah King (2025): This is one of Cole's most anticipated upcoming projects, a crime thriller where he stars alongside Matthew McConaughey. The film is set to solidify his transition into gritty, adult-oriented cinema.
  • Undercover (TBA): Another project in development, further expanding his filmography outside of his television roots.

Dylan Sprouse: From Rom-Com Lead to Action Hero

Dylan Sprouse, who played the charming but lazy Zack Martin, has focused heavily on film, particularly in the romantic comedy and action genres. He has also notably invested in the craft beer industry, co-founding All-Wise Meadery in Brooklyn, New York, adding "entrepreneur" to his resume.

  • Beautiful Wedding (2024): Dylan reprised his lead role as Travis Maddox in the sequel to the successful romantic drama Beautiful Disaster. This role has made him a prominent figure in the New Adult film genre.
  • The Duel (2024): Released in 2024, this action-thriller sees Dylan in a more serious role as Colin, demonstrating his range.
  • Aftermath (2024): Another 2024 release where he plays Eric Daniels, continuing his exploration of different film genres.
  • Under Fire (2025): Looking ahead, Dylan is slated to star as Agent Griff in the 2025 action film Under Fire, signaling a strong push into the action realm.

The Rest of the Tipton Crew: Where Are London, Maddie, and Mr. Moseby Now?

The success of The Suite Life was not just down to Zack and Cody; the supporting cast members have also gone on to have incredible careers, often reuniting for sweet, nostalgic moments that delight fans.

Brenda Song (London Tipton)

Brenda Song, who played the ditzy but lovable heiress London Tipton, has successfully transitioned into a major streaming star and dramatic actress. She has moved far beyond her Disney roots, focusing on both comedy and serious roles.

  • The Last Showgirl (2024): Brenda is part of the cast of this 2024 film, which is generating buzz on the festival circuit.
  • Running Point (2025): Her most significant upcoming project is the Netflix workplace comedy series Running Point, where she co-stars alongside Kate Hudson. The series is set to premiere in 2025, with Brenda playing a chief of staff role.
  • Personal Life: Brenda is also a mother and is engaged to actor Macaulay Culkin.

Ashley Tisdale (Maddie Fitzpatrick)

Ashley Tisdale, who played the Tipton's candy counter girl Maddie Fitzpatrick, is another Disney veteran who has diversified her career. While known for her role as Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical franchise, her focus has shifted significantly toward production, entrepreneurship, and voice work.

  • New TV Project: Ashley is currently developing a new television project that is reportedly inspired by her marriage to musician Christopher French, which she described as "incredibly scary" but exciting.
  • Entrepreneurship: She is the founder of the wellness and clean beauty brand, Frenshe, which has seen considerable success in the retail space throughout 2024.

Phill Lewis (Mr. Moseby)

Phill Lewis, the inimitable Mr. Marion Moseby, has largely stepped behind the camera, transitioning into a highly successful career as a television director. His work as a director is extensive and continues to this day.

  • Directing Credits (2022–Present): Lewis has directed episodes for numerous popular sitcoms, including multiple episodes of the NBC comedy Lopez vs Lopez (2022–present) and Nickelodeon’s The Really Loud House (2022–2023).
  • Reunions: Lewis remains close with the cast, frequently appearing in mini-reunion photos with the Sprouse twins and other cast members.

Kim Rhodes (Carey Martin)

Kim Rhodes, who played the twins' mother and Tipton lounge singer Carey Martin, has maintained a strong presence in television and the fan convention circuit, especially due to her recurring role on the hit series Supernatural.

  • Conventions and Fan Engagement: Kim is regularly featured at fan conventions, including appearances in 2024 and 2025, often discussing her time on The Suite Life and her subsequent work.
  • Mini-Reunions: She is often the centerpiece of the cast's most heartwarming reunions, sharing photos with Dylan and Cole Sprouse that instantly go viral.

The Enduring Legacy and Recent Cast Reunions

The enduring popularity of *The Suite Life of Zack & Cody* and its continuation, *The Suite Life on Deck*, lies in its blend of slapstick comedy, heartfelt moments, and the undeniable chemistry of the ensemble cast. The show’s impact is evident in the continued success of its stars and the buzz generated every time they cross paths.

In recent years, the cast has treated fans to several heartwarming, unofficial mini-reunions. Most recently, the Sprouse twins, Dylan and Cole, were seen together with their on-screen mother, Kim Rhodes, and Phill Lewis (Mr. Moseby) at various events, proving that the Tipton Hotel family bond is still strong. These moments are a powerful reminder of the show's legacy and often spark renewed calls for a formal reboot or revival, though the Sprouse twins have generally expressed hesitation about returning to their iconic roles.

From the high-stakes action of Dylan's Under Fire to the dark comedy of Cole’s Lisa Frankenstein, and the directing prowess of Phill Lewis, the cast of Zack and Cody has successfully redefined their careers. They are no longer just the kids from the Tipton; they are established, versatile professionals shaping the future of film and television.
