If you’re yearning for more Julie and the Phantoms… same.

We don’t have any season two news YET, but stars Madison Reyes and Charlie Gillespie recently put together a beautiful, new acoustic video for the hit song “Bright” from the series.

The song is from the second episode of the series when Julie is trying to get her coveted spot back in the music class. It’s also when the Phantoms are first introduced to an audience that isn’t just Julie.

Charlie has actually previously gushed that “Bright” is one of his favorite songs from the show.

“‘Bright’ is the first song we ever played as a band. It’s the one we used to play so strong together. That one means a lot to me,” he told ET.

“I usually say ‘Bright’ [is my favorite] because that’s the one that we started off with,” Charlie echoed to Screen Rant.

Madison Reyes Almost Didn't Audition For 'Julie & The Phantoms'

Madison Reyes is opening up about the audition process for Julie and the Phantoms!

The teen actress of course stars as Julie in the Netflix series and it’s first professional acting gig.

For the role of Julie, casting directors saw 700 auditions from around the world and sent casting calls to the top 100 high schools with strong arts programs across the US.

Madison‘s teacher in Allentown, Penn., suggested that she audition, but she almost didn’t!

“I was at a very good moment in my life where I was back into music, learning how to play piano, doing well in school, and really focused on self-love,” she told YSB Now. “I didn’t want this to be what knocked me down… [A few of my peers] were like, ‘Why not? You never know what could come out of it. Either you don’t do it and nothing happens, or you do it, and you either get it or you don’t.’ So I took a chance.”

“Knowing that I could possibly be that role model for somebody and be the person that someone may look up to really motivated me to want to go and take that leap, especially the fact that my sister might have somebody now that she can look up to and be able to really see herself — and know that she can achieve her dreams no matter how difficult they may seem,” Madison told ET.

“To believe in yourself. You shouldn’t let people drag you down just because of what your background is or where you come from or where you started. As long as you work hard for it, you’ll eventually get there,” she added.

'Julie & The Phantoms' Is Based Off a Brazilian TV Show, Star Madison Reyes Got Blessing From Original Julie

Did you know that the new Netflix musical series Julie and the Phantoms was actually a Brazilian series first??

The original show aired in 2011 in Brazil under the title, Julie e os Fantasmas.

Here’s a synopsis, via Wikipedia: Julie (Mariana Lessa), a 15-year-old girl, and three ghosts: Daniel, Felix and Martim. Julie frees the musical ghosts who were trapped in a vinyl record. Shortly thereafter, Julie’s life changes completely: she forms a band with the ghosts and starts performing regularly in her city. The friendly ghosts help her deal with daily problems, particularly her passion for music and her love for Nicolas.

While both shows have a similar main plot, IE Julie makes music with a ghost band, the new Kenny Ortega-produced version took a little different approach, focusing on the loss of Julie’s mother and her passion for music, which they shared together.

“It’s a sweet spot for storytelling in the YA space when someone’s got a secret, so we gravitated towards that. The more we dove, we got into the emotion of it and we started thinking about the character of Julie and her journey,” co-showrunner Dan Cross told ET. “When you’re telling a story, you want the protagonist to have the most growth. So we were like, ‘We should lean more into the mother’s passing.’ We decided it was going to be more than a show about a ghost band, once we really got into Julie’s character.”

Star Madison Reyes actually got the blessing from the original Julie, Mariana Lessa.

“When she messaged me, that was so crazy,” Madison said to ET. “It really made me feel like this was true and I’m not dreaming. Even while we were in the process of filming, I just constantly thought back to who Julie already was for so many people and how I want to continue that legacy and do it right and do the character justice because that’s what she deserves. But also, just kind of finding myself through Julie, which is also very interesting because she’s this girl who everybody can relate with. Knowing that made it a much more fun experience because I’m excited to see everybody else’s reaction and how they start to love Julie as well.”
