Camp Rock would not be complete without Mitchie Torres, and Demi Lovato is set to bring the beloved character back, states Deadline.
Just days before the premiere of Camp Rock 3, Disney has confirmed that Lovato will not only executive produce the franchise’s return but also make a cameo as Mitchie.
The announcement comes as the third film brings back several familiar faces from the original movies.
The Jonas Brothers will reprise their roles as Shane, Nate and Jason Gray of Connect 3, while Maria Canals-Barrera will return as Mitchie’s mother, Connie. In the new film, Connie is now the director of Camp Rock.
Fans will not have to wait long to see how Mitchie makes her way back to the camp. Camp Rock 3 will premiere on Disney Channel on 13 August and will be available to stream on Disney+ from 14 August.
The film follows Connect 3 after the band loses its opening act for a major reunion tour.
Looking for the next big musical act, the group returns to Camp Rock, where campers compete for the chance to open for their favourite band.
As the competition intensifies, friendships are tested and new alliances, revelations and romances emerge.
The new cast includes Liamani Segura as Sage, Malachi Barton as Fletch, Lumi Pollack as Rosie, Sherry Cola as Lark, Hudson Stone as Desi, Casey Trotter as Cliff, Brooklynn Pitts as Callie and Ava Jean as Madison.
Directed by Veronica Rodriguez and written by Eydie Faye, the film is produced by Disney Kids & Family, with choreography by Jamal Sims.
Tim Federle serves as executive producer alongside Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas, Kevin Jonas, Demi Lovato, Betsy Sullenger, Spencer Berman and Gary Marsh.
The original Camp Rock premiered on Disney Channel in 2008, followed by Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam in 2010.
Both films became major hits for the network and ranked as the No. 1 cable movie premieres in the years they were released.
Nearly two decades after the franchise began, Disney says the two films have collectively been watched for more than 535 million hours across linear television and streaming platforms.
