Jonas Brothers Reunite as Shane, Nate and Jason Gray on the Camp Rock 3 Set — Internet Melts Down
Back to camp: The Jonas Brothers drop a playful behind-the-scenes video from Vancouver, suiting up again as Shane, Nate and Jason Gray and teasing the long-awaited Disney Channel sequel Camp Rock 3.
Yes, it is actually happening: the Jonas Brothers put the Connect 3 hats back on, and Camp Rock 3 is real enough that they are posting from set. If you grew up on the original Disney Channel movies, this is one of those 'weirdly full-circle' moments.
Back at camp, leather jacket and all
On September 17, 2025, Joe Jonas dropped a quick walk-and-talk from the Camp Rock set in Vancouver, sliding on sunglasses and a leather jacket to channel Shane Gray again. He even brought back the fan-favorite line that launched a thousand memes:
'I'm Shane Gray, for crying out loud.'
His caption leaned into the bit: 'close enough, welcome back shane gray'. A second clip on the official Jonas Brothers account, captioned 'good morning campers', had Joe, Nick, and Kevin lip syncing the whole scene like the shameless nostalgists we all are at heart.
So what is Camp Rock 3 actually about?
The hook: Connect 3 loses their opening act right before a big reunion tour, so they head back to their old stomping grounds to find a new one. Translation: cue a camp-wide talent hunt where everyone competes to open for their favorite band, which means drama, shifting alliances, a few secrets, and at least one crush that complicates everything. That is the gist of the official logline (as shared with Variety), and it tracks with the franchise’s sweet spot: earnest kids + big feelings + bigger songs.
Who is back, who is new
Joe, Nick, and Kevin are back as Shane, Nate, and Jason Gray, respectively. They are also executive producing this time around, alongside Demi Lovato, who anchored the original films as Mitchie Torres. Maria Canals-Barrera returns as Connie Torres, and Sherry Cola joins as a new character named Lark. On the fresh-faces front, meet the next-gen campers:
- Sage (Liamani Segura)
- Desi (Hudson Stone)
- Rosie (Lumi Pollack)
- Cliff (Casey Trotter)
- Callie (Brooklynn Pitts)
- Madison (Ava Jean)
- Fletch (Malachi Barton), the resident camp troublemaker
Creative team and where to watch
Veronica Rodriguez is directing, with Eydie Faye writing and Jamal Sims handling choreography. Disney Branded Television is producing, and the executive producer lineup includes Tim Federle, Betsy Sullenger, Spencer Berman, and Gary Marsh (alongside the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato).
Disney says the movie will premiere on Disney Channel and stream on Disney+. Filming is underway in Vancouver.
A quick bit of context (and a little nostalgia math)
The brothers first played Connect 3 in Camp Rock (2008) and came back for Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010). Both still rank in the top 10 most-watched Disney Channel original movies ever, which explains why Disney dusted off the guitars for one more encore.
Bottom line: the band is back, the camp is open, and the Shane Gray swagger has officially re-entered the chat. Good morning, campers.
