Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas are set to reprise their roles as the fictional band Connect 3 in the upcoming Camp Rock 3 film – some 17 years after the release of their Disney Channel original movie, Camp Rock (2008) and its sequel film Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010).
The famous brothers are also set to produce the Disney+/Disney Channel project, alongside their former co-star, Demi Lovato (who played Mitchie Torres in the original films). Disney Branded Television confirmed that Camp Rock 3 has already begun filming in Vancouver, with Maria Canals-Barrera (‘Wizards of Waverly Place’) also reprising her role as Mitchie’s mother, Connie. The ensemble cast will also include Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Lumi Pollack, Hudson Stone, Casey Trotter, Brooklynn Pitts and Ava Jean.
According to an official synopsis from Disney, the film “picks up when Connect 3 lose their opening act for a major reunion tour, returning to their beloved Camp Rock to discover the next big thing. As campers vie for the chance to open for their favorite band, tensions rise and friendships are tested, leading to unexpected alliances, revelations and romances. Camp Rock’s all-new campers include bold and determined Sage (Segura) and her easygoing brother Desi (Stone), cello prodigy Rosie (Pollack), drummer with his own beat Cliff (Trotter), choreo queen Callie (Pitts), intimidating influencer Madison (Jean) and camp bad boy Fletch (Barton).”
Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television, in a press release: “Camp Rock is an important part of the Disney Channel Original Movie legacy, with unforgettable music, energetic storytelling, and characters that live in the hearts of fans to this day. Bringing it back with Kevin, Joe, Nick and Demi is such a full-circle moment, and we can’t wait to reintroduce this world to a new generation.”
