Alyson Stoner, the dancer and actor who brought Caitlyn Geller to life in 2008’s Camp Rock and its 2010 follow-up Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, is speaking up about the highly anticipated third film—and they’ve made it clear they won’t be stepping back into Caitlyn’s shoes. This update comes just days after Disney announced Camp Rock 3 is officially in the works, with the Jonas Brothers set to return and Demi Lovato taking on an executive producer role.
Stoner shared their thoughts during a panel at the 2025 Teen Vogue Summit over the weekend, telling E! News, “I haven’t gotten any details beyond what’s been announced, but honestly? That sounds awesome.” They also offered a guess at the film’s direction, hinting it could follow a familiar Disney playbook: “I think it might be similar to how Disney handled High School Musical with its Disney+ spinoff—bringing in a whole new generation. That’s my best bet, anyway. But hey, it still sounds great.”
While the 32-year-old—who’s currently promoting their new memoir, Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything—isn’t returning as a cast member, they didn’t shut the door entirely on a future role in the franchise. “If they need a coordinator on set, just hit me up,” Stoner joked (though their tone left room for possibility).
Disney’s recent announcement shed more light on the film’s core team: The Jonas Brothers—Joe, Nick, and Kevin—will reprise their roles as Shane, Nate, and Jason Gray, respectively. Lovato, who played lead character Mitchie Torres in the first two films, won’t be returning as an actor but will serve as an EP alongside the trio. Maria Canals-Barrera, who portrayed Mitchie’s mom Connie Torres, is also set to make a comeback.
The new Camp Rock will welcome a mix of Disney veterans and fresh faces to its cast. Joining the fold are Liamani Segura (Descendants: Wicked Wonderland) as Sage, Malachi Barton (ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires) as Fletch, Lumi Pollack (Electric Bloom) as Rosie, newcomer Hudson Stone as Desi, Casey Trotter (The Thundermans) as Cliff, Brooklynn Pitts as Callie, Ava Jean as Madison, and Sherry Cola as a character named Lark.
According to Disney, the sequel’s plot centers on Connect 3 (the Jonas Brothers’ band in the franchise) losing their opening act right before a major reunion tour. Their solution? Head back to the Camp Rock they know and love to scout the next breakout star. “As campers compete for that once-in-a-lifetime spot to open for their favorite band, tensions run high, friendships get put to the test, and unexpected alliances, big revelations, and even some romances start to take shape,” the synopsis adds.
Disney also highlighted the new campers’ personalities: There’s bold, driven Sage (Segura) and her laid-back brother Desi (Stone); cello prodigy Rosie (Pollack); Cliff (Trotter), a drummer with a unique style; choreography whiz Callie (Pitts); intimidating influencer Madison (Jean); and Fletch (Barton), the camp’s resident “bad boy.”
Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, summed up the film’s significance in a statement: “Camp Rock is such a cornerstone of the Disney Channel Original Movie legacy—unforgettable music, energetic stories, and characters that still live in fans’ hearts today. Bringing it back with Kevin, Joe, Nick, and Demi feels like a full-circle moment, and we can’t wait to bring this world back and introduce it to a whole new group of fans.”
