New JoJo Siwa Live-Action Musical

Nickelodeon and Awesomeness have started production on a brand-new live-action musical, The J Team, starring and executive produced by pop star and social media sensation JoJo Siwa.

The 90-minute feature-length film follows a young girl who is kicked out of her dance troupe and forced to rediscover what dance and friendship mean to her while finding her true “sparkle” in the process. An original soundtrack featuring six new songs from Siwa and more will be timed to the release of the movie.

The J Team marks the first production under Awesomeness and Nickelodeon Live-Action Film Studio head Syrinthia Studer.

Siwa said, “I am so excited to be filming The J Team! It has so much singing and dancing! I can’t wait for everyone to hear all of my new music in the movie and see the big ending!”

Studer added, “JoJo is a big part of our family and the perfect superstar partner to kick off our Nickelodeon and Awesomeness Films slate. As we continue to grow our live-action film studio business, we can’t wait to bring JoJo fans old and new a special story that’s inspirational, aspirational and full of heart. There will be something for everyone in this film.”
