Fans of the 2008 Disney hit Camp Rock are buzzing with excitement after Demi Lovato reunited with the Jonas Brothers for a surprise performance, fueling rumors of a potential Camp Rock 3. The trio performed songs from the original movie during the Jonas Brothers’ JONAS20 Tour opener at MetLife Stadium, leading to widespread speculation about a third installment.
Nostalgic Onstage Reunion Sparks Rumors
Demi Lovato joined Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas on stage to sing “This Is Me” and “Wouldnโt Change a Thing”, two fan-favorite tracks from Camp Rock and its 2010 sequel. The emotional performance quickly went viral, with fans reminiscing about the beloved Disney Channel movie.

“i WILL be tuning in the second its out,, camp rock is my movieeeee” โ @oldfashionedjaz
Social media erupted with reactions, with many fans questioning whether this reunion hinted at a new movie. An X user joked, “This time as Camp counselors”, referencing how the original cast, now in their 30s, might return in different roles.
Is Camp Rock 3 Really Happening?
While no official confirmation has been made, rumors suggest that Camp Rock 3 could begin filming in September 2025. Reports from Pop Tingz and FilmBuzzr claim that Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers have finalized deals to return. Industry insider Daniel Richtman also hinted that Tim Federle, creator of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, might be involved.
The original Camp Rock movies launched the careers of both Lovato and the Jonas Brothers. Lovato played Mitchie Torres, a talented teen at a music camp, while Joe Jonas starred as her love interest, Shane Gray. The sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, was released in 2010, but fans have long hoped for another installment.
Past Talks of an R-Rated Sequel
Interestingly, both Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers have previously joked about making an R-rated version of Camp Rock 3.
“We want to come out with an R-rated Camp Rock 3,” Demi told Ellen DeGeneres in 2017. “All of our fans have now grown up, and so anybody that watched Camp Rock is now older and can appreciate like, an American Pie version.”
Joe Jonas also supported the idea in a 2017 Marie Claire interview, saying, “If it made sense, sureโฆ Do the graduating days, make it kinda dark. An adult film.”
Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz
The internet is divided over the possibility of Camp Rock 3. Some fans are thrilled, while others feel Disney should focus on new projects.

In 2025, Lovato married musician Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, while Joe Jonas finalized his divorce from Sophie Turner in 2024. Despite past tensions, their recent onstage chemistry has fans hopeful for more collaborations.
Whatโs Next for Camp Rock 3?
If the rumors are true, Camp Rock 3 could feature a mix of old and new characters, possibly passing the torch to a younger generation. Some reports suggest a new character named Sage may be introduced.
For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement from Disney or the cast. But one thing is certainโthe demand for more Camp Rock is stronger than ever.
