Entertainment Industry Developments
In a significant announcement impacting the holiday entertainment landscape, Disney Branded Television and 20th Television have confirmed the development of a new holiday comedy film centered around the popular music group, the Jonas Brothers. Titled “Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie,” the feature is slated to premiere during the highly anticipated 2025 holiday season, exclusively on the Disney+ streaming service.
The film will star the three members of the acclaimed band: Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Nick Jonas. Beyond their on-screen roles, the brothers will also take on key responsibilities behind the camera, serving as producers for the project. This dual role underscores their creative investment in shaping the narrative and tone of the holiday feature.
The plot of “Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie” is set to explore a relatable and often chaotic holiday travel scenario. The story will follow the brothers as they face numerous challenges and obstacles while attempting to journey from London to New York. Their mission is to arrive in time to celebrate Christmas, a task complicated by unexpected events and the pressures of holiday transit, offering a blend of comedy, adventure, and festive spirit.
Adding to the film’s creative pedigree, the screenplay is being penned by the writing and producing duo Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger. Known for their work on successful television series, their involvement signals a focus on character-driven storytelling and engaging comedic scenarios. Jessica Yu, an accomplished director recognized for her versatile work across film and television, is attached to direct the movie, bringing her directorial vision to the holiday production.
A notable element of the film will be its inclusion of original music. Singer-songwriter and producer Justin Tranter is set to create new songs specifically for the movie. Tranter’s history of crafting chart-topping hits suggests that the soundtrack will be a significant component of the film’s appeal, further enhancing its festive atmosphere and potentially offering new holiday anthems for fans.
The announcement of “Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie” positions it as a flagship holiday offering for Disney+ in 2025, leveraging the global popularity of the Jonas Brothers to attract a broad audience to the platform during a peak viewing period.
