Camp Rock 3 is officially a go. Disney has confirmed the third entry in the hit musical franchise, with filming taking place in Vancouver, Canada, from mid-September through the end of October. The return marks a major full-circle moment for one of Disney Channel’s most recognizable original movie brands.
Momentum built even before the announcement when Demi Lovato joined the Jonas Brothers on opening night of their JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour to perform favorites from the first two films. The reunion performance instantly fueled speculation that the former Camp Rock leads were plotting a screen comeback—and now that speculation has paid off.
The Jonas Brothers are officially back on screen as Connect 3, with Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas reprising Nate, Shane, and Jason Gray. The trio is also serving as executive producers, joined behind the scenes by Demi Lovato. During a Raleigh, North Carolina tour stop, Joe Jonas playfully hinted at the movie’s status, telling the crowd, “Camp Rock 3 wrapped yesterday and I don’t think I was supposed to say that.” Disney has not provided further comment on that tease, but principal photography was scheduled to run through late October. Maria Canals-Barrera is returning as Connie, Mitchie Torres’ mom and Camp Rock’s beloved chef, while Lovato’s on-screen appearance remains unconfirmed.

The familiar setting becomes the backdrop for high-stakes auditions, rivalries, and friendships as the campers compete for a coveted spot on stage.
As the search intensifies, talent takes center stage alongside personal growth. New romances spark, old bonds are tested, and the pressure of performing pushes everyone to find their voice. It’s a classic Camp Rock setup with fresh faces, bigger musical ambitions, and the promise of new anthems.

Production And Music: A Full-Circle Return
Behind the scenes, the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato’s executive producer roles signal a hands-on approach to both the music and the story. Filming in Vancouver from mid-September through late October positions the threequel to capture the franchise’s signature summer-camp vibe, complete with stage competitions, rehearsal-room drama, and big performance payoffs.
The creative setup—Connect 3 scouting their own opening act—naturally opens the door for a competitive soundtrack and a range of performance styles, from pop and rock to orchestral flourishes courtesy of a cello prodigy. While Disney hasn’t shared track details yet, the premise all but guarantees showcase moments that echo the singalong hits and choreography-driven numbers that defined the franchise’s earlier entries.
As Disney Branded Television revives Camp Rock with its original stars at the forefront, the threequel aims to bridge the gap between longtime fans and first-time campers. With nostalgia, new talent, and a high-profile producing team aligned, Camp Rock 3 is set to bring the campfire harmonies and spotlight-worthy showdowns back to center stage.
