The Camp Rock franchise returns this week with a third installment. Camp Rock 3 premieres on Disney Channel this Thursday, August 13, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The story follows a new group of campers who compete for the chance to serve as the opening act for the band Connect 3 on their upcoming tour.
Fans of the original films will see the return of Nick, Kevin, and Joe Jonas as the members of Connect 3. Demi Lovato also appears in the film as Mitchie Torres. Maria Canals-Barrera returns to her role as Connie Torres to manage the camp operations.
New cast members joining the franchise include Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Hudson Stone, Lumi Pollack, Casey Trotter, Brooklynn Pitts, and Ava Jean. The plot explores the tension between new arrivals and established legacy characters as the musical competition unfolds throughout the camp.
Those who miss the television broadcast can stream the movie on Disney+ starting Friday morning. The platform also provides access to the first two films for viewers who want to catch up on the history of the characters before watching the new release.
