Disney has confirmed that Camp Rock 3 is officially in production, with filming already underway in Vancouver. This marks the highly anticipated return of the hit Disney Channel franchise that first captured audiences in 2008.
The Jonas Brothers are reprising their roles as Connect 3 and are also serving as executive producers on the project. Their involvement both on screen and behind the scenes ensures that the film will stay true to the spirit of the original movies. Demi Lovato, who portrayed Mitchie Torres in the first two installments, will not appear this time but is contributing as an executive producer. While her absence in front of the camera may surprise longtime fans, her creative role helps keep the heart of the story connected to its roots.
The movie will also see Maria Canals-Barrera return as Mitchie’s mom, continuing her character’s place in the franchise. Alongside the familiar faces, a new lineup of stars has been added to the cast, including Liamani Segura, Hudson Stone, Malachi Barton, Casey Trotter, Lumi Pollack, Brooklynn Pitts, and Ava Jean. These new characters will be central to the storyline, which focuses on Connect 3 returning to Camp Rock to find an opening act for their reunion tour.
Behind the camera, Veronica Rodriguez is directing, with choreography by Jamal Sims, known for his work on major dance projects across film and television. The script is written by Eydie Faye, who is tasked with balancing the nostalgia of the original films with a fresh, modern energy for today’s audience.
Production began on September 15 in Vancouver, and the movie is set to debut on both Disney Channel and Disney+. With the combination of returning stars, new talent, and updated storytelling, Camp Rock 3 is shaping up to be both a nostalgic celebration and a launchpad for a new generation of fans.
For viewers who grew up singing along to songs like “This Is Me” and “Play My Music,” this continuation represents a full-circle moment. Now, with a mix of classic Disney Channel energy and contemporary storytelling, Camp Rock 3 is officially on its way to becoming one of the most talked-about projects of the year.
