Remember belting out “This Is Me” in your bedroom mirror? Well, grab your guitars because Camp Rock 3 is officially happening! After 15 years of waiting, Disney dropped the bombshell on September 17, 2025, confirming that our beloved summer camp musical is getting a third installment.
Filming has already kicked off in Vancouver with the Jonas Brothers returning as Connect 3 and Demi Lovato executive producing. But here’s the burning question on every millennial’s mind: where are our favorite Camp Rock stars now, and who’s actually coming back?
Let’s dive into this nostalgic journey and catch up with the cast that shaped our Disney Channel childhoods. From global superstars to behind-the-scenes creators, these former campers have been busy!
BREAKING: Camp Rock 3 Is Actually Happening (And We’re Not Dreaming!)
A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato)
Okay, let’s address the elephant in the room. Yes, this is real! Disney Branded Television officially greenlit Camp Rock 3 for Disney+ and Disney Channel, and honestly, we’re still processing this news. The plot follows Connect 3 as they lose their opening act for a major reunion tour and return to Camp Rock to discover the next big thing. Cue the drama, friendships, and of course, those iconic Disney Channel musical numbers we’ve been craving.
The film is being directed by Veronica Rodriguez with choreography by Jamal Sims, so expect some serious dance moves. A fresh cast of rising stars joins the mix, including Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, and Lumi Pollack. But the real question remains: will we see our original Camp Rock family back on screen? Let’s find out where everyone ended up after all these years.
1. Joe Jonas: From Shane Gray to Family Man Rockstar
Then
Remember when Joe Jonas made our hearts skip a beat as Shane Gray, the “too cool for school” lead singer of Connect 3? Back in 2008, he was the quintessential Disney heartthrob with perfectly tousled hair and that signature smirk that had us all swooning.
Now
Fast forward to 2025, and Joe has become quite the renaissance man! He’s currently crushing it on the Jonas Brothers’ 20th anniversary tour, Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown, which runs through November 2025.
But wait, there’s more! He’s also been busy with his solo projects and DNCE, proving he’s not just a pretty face with a great voice. Joe married actress Sophie Turner in 2019 (though they later divorced), and he’s been open about his journey through fatherhood and personal growth.

Joe is officially returning as Shane Gray and is the executive producer of the film. Get ready for those dreamy vocals again!
2. Demi Lovato: The Powerhouse Who Conquered Everything
Then
Demi Lovato stole our hearts as Mitchie Torres, the shy girl with the powerhouse voice who just wanted to fit in at camp. Her rendition of “This Is Me” wasn’t just a song; it was an anthem for anyone who ever felt like an outsider.
Now
Where do we even begin with Demi’s incredible journey? She’s become a true multi-hyphenate force, recently making her directorial debut with the documentary Child Star on Hulu.
Her ninth studio album, It’s Not That Deep, drops October 24, 2025, and the lead single “Fast” is already making waves. On the personal front, Demi married Canadian musician Jordan “Jutes” Lutes in May 2025, and she’s been incredibly open about her mental and physical health journey, becoming a powerful advocate for sobriety and self-acceptance.

Demi is the executive producer of the film, but whether she’ll step back into Mitchie’s shoes remains a mystery that’s got us all on edge!
3. Nick Jonas: The Multi-Talented Youngest Brother
Then
Nick Jonas played Nate Gray, the drummer of Connect 3, and even at the youngest age, you could tell this kid was going places. His musical maturity was way beyond his years, and he brought a certain depth to the role.
Now
Nick has probably had the most diverse career post-Camp Rock. He’s conquered Broadway with The Last Five Years, dominated the big screen in the Jumanji franchise, and even coached on The Voice.
His solo career has been incredibly successful, with hits like “Jealous” proving he’s a force to be reckoned with on his own. He married global superstar Priyanka Chopra in 2018, and they welcomed daughter Malti Marie in 2022. Talk about living the dream!

Nick is returning as Nate Gray and joining his brothers as executive producer. We can’t wait to see those drumsticks in action again!
4. Kevin Jonas: The Quiet One Who Found His Groove
Then
Kevin Jonas was Jason Gray, the guitarist of Connect 3, and while he might have been the quieter brother on screen, his guitar skills were absolutely essential to the band’s sound.
Now
Kevin took a slightly different path than his brothers, focusing more on business ventures and family life. He’s been married to Danielle since 2009, and they have two daughters together.
Kevin has dabbled in reality TV with Married to Jonas and has been involved in various business projects. He’s also remained active in the Jonas Brothers’ reunion, contributing to their continued success while maintaining a more private lifestyle.

Kevin is officially back as Jason Gray and will be executive producing alongside his brothers. The Gray brothers are truly back together!
5. Alyson Stoner: The Multi-Talented Truth-Teller
Then
Alyson Stoner was already a Disney Channel veteran when they joined Camp Rock as Caitlyn Gellar, Mitchie’s tech-savvy best friend. Known for their incredible dancing skills and appearances in Missy Elliott’s music videos, Alyson brought serious talent to the role.
Now
Alyson has become one of the most authentic voices from the Disney generation. In August 2025, they released their memoir Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything, which offers raw insights into child stardom. They came out as non-binary in 2023 and have been incredibly open about their journey with identity and mental health.
Alyson continues voicing Isabella in Phineas and Ferb, hosts the Dear Hollywood podcast, and founded Movement Genius, a digital wellness platform. They’re truly using their platform for good!

When asked about returning, Alyson candidly said to PEOPLE,
I truly cannot confirm or deny anything. They haven’t given me a ring.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed for Caitlyn’s comeback!
6. Meaghan Martin: From Mean Girl to Steady Performer
Then
Meaghan Martin absolutely nailed the role of Tess Tyler, Camp Rock’s resident mean girl. She made us love to hate her character while secretly admiring her vocal chops and confidence.
Now
Meaghan has maintained a steady acting career, appearing in Mean Girls 2 (another mean girl role, she’s really perfected the type!), 10 Things I Hate About You (the sitcom, not the movie), and various TV shows like Awkward on MTV.
She made her London stage debut in The Actor’s Nightmare in 2019 and has been doing voice work for video games, including Ten Dates and Atomic Heart in 2023. She married British actor Oli Higginson in 2016 and seems to be living her best life across the pond.

No official word yet on whether Tess Tyler will be stirring up drama at camp again, but we’d love to see her return!
7. Anna Maria Perez de Tagle: The Supporting Star Who Kept Shining
Then
Anna Maria Perez de Tagle played Ella Pador, one of Tess’s loyal followers who added depth to the camp’s social dynamics. She brought sweetness and vocal talent to the ensemble.
Now
Anna Maria has continued building her career in entertainment, appearing in various film and television projects. She’s maintained connections with her Disney Channel roots while expanding into more mature roles.
Though she’s kept a lower profile compared to some of her co-stars, she’s been steadily working in the industry and has remained connected to her Camp Rock family through reunions and social media.

While there’s been no official confirmation of her return, fans are hopeful that the original camp crew will reunite for this nostalgic trip back to Camp Rock.
8. Jasmine Richards: The Ensemble Player Who Made Her Mark
Then
Jasmine Richards brought Margaret “Peggy” Dupree to life as another member of Tess’s crew. While her screen time was limited, she contributed to the camp’s authentic feel and group dynamics.
Now
Jasmine has continued working in the entertainment industry, taking on various television and film roles over the years. She’s maintained her acting career while keeping a relatively private personal life.
Like many of her Camp Rock co-stars, she’s used her Disney Channel experience as a springboard for continued success in Hollywood, appearing in both independent projects and mainstream productions.

No official announcement has been made regarding Jasmine’s potential return, but the door seems open for original cast members to make appearances in the new film.
9. Daniel Fathers: The Camp Director Who Became a TV Veteran
Then
Daniel Fathers played Brown Cesario, Camp Rock’s wise and patient camp director who kept all those talented teenagers in line. His British charm and paternal energy made him the perfect authority figure for the camp.
Now
Daniel has had an incredibly successful career in television, appearing in major shows like Orphan Black, Reign, Atlanta, and, most recently, House of the Dragon.
He’s also appeared in Netflix’s A Christmas Prince and 2025’s The Last Supper. The English actor has proven his versatility across genres, from fantasy epics to romantic comedies. His Camp Rock experience was just the beginning of what’s been a remarkably diverse and successful career.

While Daniel hasn’t been officially confirmed to return as the camp director, his extensive TV experience would certainly be welcomed back at Camp Rock!
10. Maria Canals-Barrera: The Mom Who’s Coming Back
Then
Maria Canals-Barrera played Connie Torres, Mitchie’s supportive mom, who worked as Camp Rock’s cook. She brought warmth and authenticity to the mother-daughter relationship that was central to the story.
Now
Maria has continued to be a steady presence in television and film, appearing in various projects over the years. She’s maintained her reputation as a reliable character actress who brings depth and authenticity to every role. Her experience spans comedy and drama, and she’s remained connected to her Disney Channel roots while expanding into more mature programming.
