Demi Lovato will officially appear in the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock 3. The singer is reprising her role as Mitchie Torres from the first two films, 2008’s Camp Rock and 2010’s Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, which spawned Lovato’s popular
collaborations with the Jonas Brothers, “This Is Me” and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing.”
Camp Rock 3 finds the Jonas Brothers returning as fictional band Connect 3, who are looking for a new opening act. That search brings them back to Camp Rock, where a fresh set of campers are ready to show their stuff.
Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas, and Kevin Jonas were previously confirming to be returning when the film was announced last year. At the time, Lovato was only mentioned as an executive producer. Ahead of the premiere, Lovato shared a photo of herself in the film and wrote, “Y’all miss me? xoxo, Mitchie.”
“We wanted to find the right balance of how much she should be in the film and what Mitchie’s involvement looked like,” director Veronica Rodriguez told The Hollywood Reporter. “Her character literally says in the movie, to her mom, ‘This isn’t about me, it’s about them. It’s their time to shine. This is the new generation of campers.’ With Mitchie and Connect 3, we wanted them to be ingrained and necessary for the story but also leave enough room and space for the world to fall in love with the new generation of campers.”
Camp Rock 3 premieres on Disney Channel on Aug. 13 and will be available to stream the next day on Disney+. The new cast members include Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Lumi Pollack, Sherry Cola, Hudson Stone, Casey Trotter, Brooklynn Pitts, and Ava Jean. Maria Canals-Barrera reprises her role as Connie, Mitchie’s mom.
The soundtrack to Camp Rock 3, out Aug. 13, includes a new song from the Jonas Brothers called “Come On Over.”
