What did he do after the series?
He kept building a varied screen career rather than being defined by one Disney role. Apple TV’s career biography highlights work in independent and studio films, television, and voice acting, including several projects from the years immediately after Hannah Montana: Apple TV’s Moisés Arias biography.
Film and voice work
Among the films and other projects in Apple TV’s career summary are We the Party, Noobz, The Kings of Summer, Despicable Me 2 and Ender’s Game. The credits show a shift from a recurring Disney Channel character into a mix of independent films, larger productions and voice performance.

Television and later films
A Los Angeles Times retrospective from 2023 also cites Arias’s later work in the television series The Good Doctor (2019) and the film The King of Staten Island (2020), alongside The Kings of Summer and Ender’s Game: The Los Angeles Times retrospective.
Why does he single out The Kings of Summer?
Arias has called the 2013 film a career turning point. In a 2025 interview with CinemaBlend, he said, “You mentioned Kings of Summer. That’s probably the turning point in my career, definitely.” He also spoke about the difficulty of moving from child acting into adult roles: CinemaBlend’s 2025 interview with Moisés Arias.

What is his more recent work?
In a March 24, 2026 report, TheWrap said Arias had a guest-star appearance in season 2 of Fallout. The same article listed Here Comes the Flood and 52nd State as being in post-production at that time. That is a dated status update; it does not establish whether either film has since been released or changed production status: TheWrap’s March 2026 report.
