Raphael Alejandro Reacts To 'Bunk'd' Season 5 Renewal: 'I Feel Proud of The Work We Are Doing'

Raphael Alejandro is so happy to be returning to Camp Kikiwaka on Bunk’d!

The 12-year-old actor stars as Matteo on the Disney Channel series, a cautious kid who can find danger in any situation and who would rather not be at camp.

JJJ recently caught up Raphael and he told us how excited he is that the show was picked up for another season.

“I feel proud of the work we are doing in Season 4, and when I heard the news of a Season 5, I was so happy that now I can continue working hard on this show and inspire all the fans that have supported us and helped make Season 5 a reality,” he dished.

Be sure to catch him on new episodes of Bunk’d, Fridays at 8pm EST on Disney Channel, and in the upcoming Jungle Cruise movie, out this summer!
