This time around, Hawaiian newcomer Maia Kealoha plays the role of Lilo. “When I found out I was going to be Lilo,my jaw literally dropped and I couldn’t even believe it. I rung my dad and I said, ‘I did it! I’m Lilo! I’m Lilo!’ And then they grabbed me and we jumped up and down. I was so excited,” Kealoha told PEOPLE in May 2024.
