Jonas brothers return as Camp Rock 3 begins filming, Demi Lovato joins as Producer

Jonas brothers return as Camp Rock 3

It’s happening. After years of fan speculation, Disney has officially started production on Camp Rock 3 in Vancouver. The Jonas Brothers — Joe, Nick, and Kevin — are back as Shane, Nate, and Jason Gray, while Demi Lovato has joined as an executive producer. For fans who grew up on the 2008 classic and its 2010 sequel, this third film is a full-circle moment.

Joe even gave fans a cheeky throwback on Instagram, strutting through set in a leather jacket while quoting his iconic line: “I’m Shane Gray, for crying out loud.” The caption read, “Close enough, welcome back Shane Gray.” The clip went viral instantly, as did another post from the official Jonas Brothers account with the siblings lip-syncing to the fan-favorite scene.

Disney’s Big Bet

Directed by Veronica Rodriguez and written by Eydie Faye, Camp Rock 3 has Disney Branded Television pulling out all stops. Choreography is led by Jamal Sims, and Lovato’s involvement behind the scenes has only added to the buzz.

Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, summed it up: “Bringing it back with Kevin, Joe, Nick, and Demi is such a full-circle moment. We can’t wait to reintroduce this world to a new generation.”

For Disney, it’s more than nostalgia. Both earlier films rank among the most-watched Disney Channel originals of all time, and with the Jonas Brothers’ ongoing popularity, this third outing is poised to reignite the franchise.
