Demi Lovato is returning to her roots. The performer will make a cameo appearance in the upcoming Camp Rock 3, reprising her role as Mitchie Torres. This news arrives just before the Los Angeles premiere event scheduled for Monday.
Fans can watch the film on the Disney Channel this Thursday. The movie will hit the Disney+ streaming service one day later. While Lovato was previously attached to the project as an executive producer, this on-screen return marks a significant moment for the franchise. It has been 18 years since the original film launched her career in 2008.
She is joined by several familiar faces. The Jonas Brothers are back to reprise their roles as the band Connect 3, and they serve as executive producers for this installment. Maria Canals-Barrera also returns to the cast as Mitchie’s mother, Connie.
The new plot centers on the band losing their opening act for a reunion tour. They return to Camp Rock to find a replacement, which sets the stage for new romances and rivalries. The film stars Liamani Segura and Malachi Barton alongside the returning cast. Veronica Rodriguez directed the movie, which follows a legacy of success for the franchise that has accumulated over 535 million hours of viewership.
