EXCLUSIVE: Bunk’d, Disney Channel‘s longest-running live-action series, will end its run with the conclusion of its current seventh season. The final installment of 10 new episodes will air in 2024.
Production on Season 7 was suspended in early May due to the WGA strike. At that time, filming had been completed on 12 episodes of the 20-episode Season 7, with 8 episodes remaining to be shot. The order has now been increased to 22 episodes, and production on the remaining 10 episodes is currently underway.
Season 7 premiered July 23, with the 12-episode Part 1 wrapping its run on Disney Channel Dec. 1. It included the series’ milestone 150th episode in September.
“With a fantastic cast of characters and hilarious and heartful storylines, it’s no wonder Bunk’d has been one of Disney Channel’s longest running and successful live action series,” Ayo Davis, President, Disney Branded Television, said in a statement to Deadline. “We’d like to thank our talented cast, creative team and crew for bringing tremendous joy and laughter to kids for seven incredible seasons.”
While Bunk’d is coming to an end, launching a new generation of live-action sitcoms on Disney Channel is a priority of Davis’ creative team, led by Charlie Andrews, EVP, Live Action and Unscripted. His recently hired No.2, veteran kids’ and family entertainment executive Jenna Boyd, is actively developing a slate of multi-cam comedies geared for Kids 6-11.
Bunk’d launched in 2015 as a spinoff of the popular Disney Channel series Jessie when siblings Emma (Peyton List), Ravi (Karan Brar) and Zuri (Skai Jackson) Ross left their New York penthouse to embark on more adventures at Camp Kikiwaka, a rustic summer camp in Maine.
