For live action, it is because teens are easier to film logistically.

[(Anonymous)]

I was thinking along the lines of this. Legally too, I know there are different rules for filming with different ages and kids have very limited filming hours.

[(Anonymous)]

As a background extra I will three thousand percent vouch for the truth of this. When you film with kids it gets complicated really fast. There's all sorts of strict rules about guardians and mandatory break times and maximum work hours per day (plus things you can and can't film, of course). An I am intensely in support of all of those rules and regulations (there should really be even more of them, honestly) but it's a huge inconvenience for the production to work around.

Plus, apart from all of that, even with the most professional child actors everything takes so much longer. They goof around more. They take longer to be ready to focus. Most of them forget their lines a lot more than most adult actors do. Most of them don't take instruction as well as adult actors so you need to do more takes to nail it. And if you're filming a group of kids (as opposed to just one kid amid a bunch of adults) all of that becomes exponentially more true. And I would never in a million years speak critically of a kid actor for being a kid. It's genuinely amazing how much skill and focus and work ethic a lot of kid actors have (more than I have, that's for sure). But I mean, they are in fact kids, and no matter how skilled and professional they are, when you're filming with kids you know it's gonna be a long day.

Also, the kids grow up very fast, so making a live action series will be a constant race against time and shit, now the main character actor hit puberty early and everything is screwed. With movies, yeah, it was popular enough for a sequel but the kids all grew up so...
