Camp Rock 3 reportedly confirmed for Disney+ with original writer attached
After more than a decade, Disney is reportedly reviving its beloved Camp Rock franchise with a third installment, according to Boardwalk Times. The new film, titled Camp Rock 3, is said to be in development for a Disney+ release—marking the first entry in the musical series since 2010's Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
While plot details remain under wraps, Eydie Faye—known for her work on Fuller House and The Slumber Party—has been tapped to write the script. Her involvement suggests the studio may blend nostalgic elements with updated themes to appeal to both longtime fans and a new audience.
The original Camp Rock films, which aired on Disney Channel in 2008 and 2010, starred Demi Lovato as Mitchie Torres and the Jonas Brothers as the fictional band Connect Three. The series followed Mitchie's journey to a prestigious music camp and her connection with teen pop star Shane Gray (Joe Jonas). The sequel introduced a rival camp and a competitive showdown that tested loyalties and friendships.
Given the likely 15-year time jump since the last film, Camp Rock 3 could explore storylines involving the original cast saving the camp, adapting to the digital music age, or mentoring a new generation. Casting details have not been confirmed, and it's unclear how many of the original stars will return.
Lovato, now active as a director and performer, previously joked in a 2023 Harper's Bazaar interview about wanting an R-rated version of the film. Nick Jonas also expressed openness to a third movie in a 2017 People interview—provided the 'right' opportunity came together.
With development underway, fans will be eager to learn more as Disney shapes the next chapter of Camp Rock.

Phineas and Ferb reboot explained as creators reveal why show still resonates with fans
The beloved animated series Phineas and Ferb has officially returned, driven by years of continued fan enthusiasm and streaming success. According to creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff 'Swampy' Marsh, the show has consistently performed well in reruns and remains a top title on Disney+. 'It's a very rewatchable show, which I'm thankful for,' Povenmire told The Hollywood Reporter. After their 2020 film Candace Against the Universe proved successful, Disney surprised the creators with a 40-episode order—bringing both veteran and first-time writers back into an energized creative process. The new team includes a mix of original writers and young adults who grew up watching the show, now contributing fresh ideas to the franchise. Since its 2007 debut, Phineas and Ferb has amassed over 12.6 billion hours of viewership. Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, praised its lasting appeal across generations, noting its blend of humor, music, and nostalgia that continues to engage longtime fans and new audiences alike. From the beginning, Povenmire and Marsh set out to create a family-friendly show rooted in kindness and intelligence. They avoided mean-spirited characters and embraced clever writing. 'We chose to keep smart jokes in, even if some might go over kids' heads,' Marsh noted, 'because the show is meant to appeal to the whole family.' The new season doesn't introduce major new characters, but existing ones like news reporter Dink Winkerson are given more depth. Fans may also notice subtle updates—like a new stripe on Phineas' shirt and an upgraded phone for Candace. Season 5 of Phineas and Ferb is now streaming on Disney+, offering the same heart and creativity that made the show a hit—with a few fun twists for sharp-eyed viewers.

Rachel Zegler is receiving widespread praise online for defending her bodyguard during a recent interaction with a fan. The 24-year-old actress, currently starring in Evita at the London Palladium, was filmed addressing a concerned autograph-seeker who appeared to take issue with her bodyguard's protective behavior. In a TikTok video that captured the moment, Zegler is heard calmly saying, 'He is protecting me,' while signing autographs. When the fan replied that there was 'no need to shove,' Zegler remained composed, explaining, 'He works here and he's helping me, because crowds are very intimidating.' Rachel Zegler helps diffuse a situation involving a fan and her bodyguard at the 'Evita' stage door: 'Please don't disrespect my Danny' — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 23, 2025 As the fan pushed back, Zegler responded affectionately yet firmly: 'I know babe, and I love you so much, but please don't disrespect my Danny, okay?' referring to her bodyguard by name. The moment quickly went viral, with viewers applauding Zegler's calm and respectful stance. One comment that resonated widely read, 'Please don't disrespect my Danny is everything.'

Midjourney AI: Midjourney launches first AI video tool to animate images
Midjourney has launched its first public video generation tool, allowing users to create animated clips from still images. The new feature, announced on Midjourney's website, enables the generation of five-second videos from either uploaded images or those created within the Midjourney platform. Once an image is selected, an 'animate' button appears, offering a standard motion option or a manual setting for customising movement. The animation can be extended in four-second increments, with a maximum length of 21 seconds. Motion settings allow users to determine whether the subject, the camera, or both are animated. The feature is currently limited to subscribers, with plans starting at $10 (USD) per month. Introducing our V1 Video Model. It's fun, easy, and beautiful. Available at 10$/month, it's the first video model for *everyone* and it's available now. — Midjourney (@midjourney) June 18, 2025 Midjourney says the cost of video generation is approximately eight times higher than that of image rendering, equating to roughly one image's worth of cost per second of video. The launch comes amid an ongoing copyright lawsuit filed by Disney and Universal. The two entertainment companies argue that Midjourney's training process may have included unauthorised use of copyrighted works. Legal filings specifically flagged the video tool as a concern, with plaintiffs describing the company's output as a 'virtual vending machine' for unlicensed content. Midjourney founder David Holz described the release as 'a stepping stone' in the company's development of real-time, open-world simulation models. The startup is one of several firms racing to develop AI-powered video tools, with competitors such as Google, OpenAI, and Meta also releasing systems that generate video content from text prompts. Social media users have been sharing their first reactions, including early videos, with many hailing it as a 'game-changer'. Midjourney Video is on another level. — AI Breakfast (@AiBreakfast) June 19, 2025 Created with Midjourney + Recraft + Figma in just under one hour. Get psyched. — DANN© (@DannPetty) June 19, 2025 How well does Midjourney Video handle complex environments? It's (almost) flawless: — Alex Patrascu (@maxescu) June 19, 2025 While Midjourney's current offering focuses on animating static images, the company has indicated that expanded capabilities will be introduced in future updates.
