Demi Lovato set for 'Camp Rock 3' cameo as Mitchie Torres
Washington, August 11
Demi Lovato is returning to 'Camp Rock' as Mitchie Torres, with Disney confirming that the singer and actor will make a surprise cameo in the upcoming third film, just days before its premiere.
As per Deadline, Lovato is also serving as an executive producer on 'Camp Rock 3', which continues the franchise nearly two decades after the original film debuted on Disney Channel in 2008. The sequel, 'Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam', followed two years later.
The third instalment already features several callbacks to the earlier films. The Jonas Brothers are returning as Shane, Nate and Jason Gray of Connect 3, while Maria Canals-Barrera reprises her role as Connie, Mitchie's mother, who is now the camp director.
"Camp Rock just wouldn't be the same without Mitchie Torres," Disney said in announcing Lovato's cameo.
'Camp Rock 3' follows Connect 3 after the band loses its opening act for a major reunion tour. In search of a replacement, the group returns to Camp Rock, where campers compete for the opportunity to open for the band. The competition brings tensions, tested friendships, unexpected alliances, revelations and romances.
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.
'Camp Rock 3' premieres on Disney Channel on August 13 and will be available to stream on Disney+ the following day.

I used to watch this with my sister all the time in India. We'd sing "This Is Me" at the top of our lungs! The Jonas Brothers and Demi together again... it's like 2008 never left. Also, Maria Canals-Barrera as camp director? Love that.
Honestly, brings back memories of watching Disney Channel after school in India. But can we talk about how random a third film is after 17 years? 😂 Still, the new cast looks fresh and I love the "campers compete" angle. Count me in for the nostalgia.
I love that Demi is coming back, but I hope they handle her character well. She's been through a lot publicly and it's good to see her embracing the role that made her famous. The original Camp Rock had such a positive message about believing in yourself. Hope the new one keeps that spirit.
Us 90s kids are thriving right now! My daughter is 10 and I've already shown her the original Camp Rock. She's obsessed with "We Rock" 😂 Now we can watch the new one together. Nice to see Disney bringing back wholesome family entertainment, especially with all the streaming content these days.
I'm a newer fan who discovered Camp Rock on Disney+ during lockdown. So excited that Demi is back! The chemistry between her and the Jonas Brothers was always electric. Plus, having the original cast come back really sets this up to be a great finale for the franchise. Aug 13 can't come soon enough! 🎸
