The 32-year-old star - who confirmed this week she is pregnant with her second child - will appear in the five-part series later this year on CBBC and BBC iPlayer, following the success earlier this year of 'My Mum Tracy Beaker'.
Emma Maggie Davies will return as Tracy's daughter Jess in the programme, and other returning stars include Jordan Duvigneau as Sean Godfrey, Lisa Coleman as Cam, Montana Thompson as Justine, and Danielle Henry as Mary.
What's more, newcomers Chi-Megan Ennis McLean, who will play Jordan, and Alibe Parsons, who is to portray junk shop owner Flo, have also joined the cast.
Tracy's life looks set to potentially come full circle as she considers becoming a foster parent.
Tali Walters, Genre Lead, BBC Children's In-house Drama, said: "The enduring affection of our audiences for the character of Tracy Beaker was clear in the reaction to 'My Mum Tracy Beaker'.
"'The Beaker Girls' promises to touch the hearts of our audiences and we’re tremendously excited to work with such a talented cast and crew to bring this captivating mother and daughter back to the screen and unveil their next chapter."
'My Mum Tracy Beaker' set a new record as CBBC’s most successful launch ever, when it was streamed 2.1 million times on BBC iPlayer in its first three days of availability in February this year.
Earlier this week, Dani announced she is pregnant and due to give birth in February next year.
The actress - who has five-year-old daughter Avarie-Belle - posted: "Han solo had Chewie.
Frodo had Sam.
Shrek had Donkey.
Now be prepared for the adventures of Avarie-Belle and as of yet unnamed bump, coming February 2022 (sic)"
