Since, fans have been petitioning for the streamer to reconsider, or for another platform to pick it up.
They even bought marquee billboards across the world, garnering the attention of executive producer, choreographer and director Kenny Ortega, who thanked the fans last week.
Now, in a new interview, Kenny is addressing the current plans of the show.
The renowned director, choreographer and executive producer of the Netflix show took to Instagram to show his appreciation to the “Save Julie and the Phantoms” movement that has been going on since the show was officially canceled back in December.
Skye Dakota Turner and Hailey Kilgore look so pretty at the premiere of their new film Respect held at Regency Village Theatre on Sunday (August 8) in Los Angeles.
The young actress plays a young Aretha Franklin in the movie, while the 22-year-old Broadway star plays Aretha‘s sister Carolyn Franklin.
In case you missed it on Sunday night (May 16), the winners were revealed for the first part of the show and the stars of the Netflix series picked up the fan-voted Best Musical Performance award for “Edge of Great.”
The Julie and the Phantoms stars, who make up the Phantoms/Sunset Curve, all flew to Hawaii and reunited with director and executive producer Kenny Ortega.
“‘This Band is Back’! Aloha from Maui to @themadisonreyes @julieandthephantoms Cast, Creatives, Crew, @netflix and International #Phans! @charles_gillespie @owenjoyner @jeremyshada ❌👻‼️” Kenny captioned a photo of just the boys on his Instagram.
“These are the ugliest pictures I’ve ever seen of myself. Give me minute ill be back,” Owen captioned on a post from Jeremy. LOL!
Jeremy and his wife Carolynn have been spending the last week in paradise, and have even posted other pics with Kenny and Tori Caro, who is a member of Dirty Candy, and an assistant choreographer on Julie and the Phantoms.
Owen and Charlie joined them, seemingly this past weekend, as Owen posted a little video on Instagram of them on a plane.
While Julie and the Phantoms hasn’t been renewed for a season two yet, we’re still waiting in anticipation for another season announcement!
Here’s a synopsis: High schooler Julie (Reyes) lost her passion for music after her mom died last year. But when the ghosts of three dreamy musicians (Gillespie, Joyner, and Shada) from 1995 suddenly appear in her mom’s old music studio, Julie feels her own inner spirit beginning to reawaken, and she’s inspired to start singing and writing songs again. As their friendship with Julie grows, the boys convince her to create a new band together: Julie and the Phantoms.
The upcoming show is executive produced by High School Musical and Descendants franchises’ director Kenny Ortega, so you know it’s going to be great!
Descendants brought us the songs “Rotten to the Core,” “Evil Like Me,” “Did I Mention,” “If Only,” “Be Our Guest,” “Set It Off,” and “Believe.”
Here’s a synopsis: Driven by exciting music and performance, the story is set in the idyllic kingdom of Auradon where Ben, the benevolent teenaged son of the King and Queen (Beast and Belle from Beauty and the Beast), is poised to take the throne. His first proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay, the trouble-making offspring of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil and Jafar, who have been imprisoned on the forbidden Isle of the Lost for 20 years.
These villainous descendants are allowed into Auradon for the first time to attend prep school alongside the teenage progeny of Fairy Godmother, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Mulan. Only time will tell if these evil teens follow in the footsteps of their wicked parents!
