Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato Reunite for Surprise 'Camp Rock' Revival

Mia Reynolds, 9/18/2025Disney's nostalgia-driven "Camp Rock 3" reunites the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato as executive producers and cast members, returning to the music camp that launched their careers. With fresh talent and a clever premise, the film aims to bridge generations when it premieres on Disney+ and Disney Channel next year.

This isn't just another reboot, though. The Jonas Brothers — Kevin, Joe, and Nick — aren't simply stepping back into their roles as Connect 3. They're taking the helm as executive producers, bringing their decade-plus of industry experience to shape the story that helped launch their careers. And here's where it gets even better: Demi Lovato isn't just returning to Camp Rock's shores — she's joining the brothers behind the scenes as an executive producer too.

The premise? It's actually pretty clever. Connect 3 needs an opening act for their reunion tour (sound familiar to anyone following their real-world success?), which leads them back to where it all began: Camp Rock. It's the kind of full-circle moment that practically writes itself.

Production's already kicked off in Vancouver, and the buzz around set suggests this isn't just a cash grab at millennial nostalgia. Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, puts it perfectly: "Camp Rock is an important part of the Disney Channel Original Movie legacy." She's not wrong — ask anyone who grew up in the late 2000s about "This Is Me" or "Wouldn't Change a Thing," and watch their eyes light up.

Speaking of those songs... The timing couldn't be better. The Jonas Brothers and Lovato recently brought down the house at MetLife Stadium, performing those Camp Rock classics together for the first time in a decade. During a candid moment on the Chicks in the Office podcast, Lovato opened up about the experience: "It was so healing for me, too. You know, we've been through so much together, all of us, the Jonas Brothers and I."

Fresh faces are joining the Camp Rock family — keep an eye out for Liamani Segura as Sage, Malachi Barton as Fletch, and Hudson Stone as Desi. And yes, Maria Canals-Barrera is returning as Connie, Mitchie's mom, because some roles are just too perfect to recast.

Remember Joe Jonas's suspiciously specific Hot Ones Versus appearance? The one where he "randomly" read "Camp Rock 3" from his Notes app? Yeah, that wasn't so random after all. Gotta hand it to him — the man knows how to plant a seed.

The creative team's stacked too. Veronica Rodriguez is directing, Eydie Faye's handling the script, and Jamal Sims is choreographing. They've even brought in Tim Federle (the mastermind behind High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) as an executive producer. Talk about covering all the bases.

When the film drops on both Disney+ and Disney Channel next year, it'll be more than just another sequel. It's a bridge between generations, a chance for parents who were teens during the original to share something special with their kids. And maybe, just maybe, it'll capture that same lightning in a bottle that made us all believe in the power of summer camp and a really good power ballad.

Funny how some stories just refuse to end, isn't it?

Remember those summer nights at Camp Rock? Well, dust off those memories because Disney's about to strike nostalgic gold. The entertainment giant just dropped a bombshell that's sending millennials into a collective frenzy — Camp Rock 3 is officially happening, and yes, the Jonas Brothers are coming home.This isn't just another reboot, though.
