✨we’re going to get an announcement soon from netflix✨

✨i am manifesting a season two for julie and the phantoms✨

it was all the build up to the fact that he was not handling it well at all and Unsaid Emily. Art. Performance art.

Kenny is the purest human on earth

Paul is exceedingly helpful

THERE WAS A VIRTUAL BAND CAMP OVER THE SUMMER WHERE THE GUYS WROTE NEW MUSIC AND MESSED AROUND AND IT MAY BE FEATURED IN SEASON 2!

Owen had said there was one specific song that all four of them had worked on that they were particularly proud of.

The boys are all dressing up as Julie for Halloween.

Kenny is dressing up as a Dancing Burrito to honour his heritage.

If there is a world tour, Kenny will be The Voice who narrates everything.

Nothing To Lose was filmed in a single take, and the boys didn’t even know they were actually filming. MUSICAL GENII.

Maddie was so much more formal as when compared to her normal lives, the respect and love she has for Kenny is so visible.

Maddie’s dad is just as important as cast and crew to Kenny, they call each other brother.

Maddie’s dad has already sent Kenny 2 JATP shorts, a sweatshirt and more content on the way.

Maddie wanted the role to be an inspiration to her sister, and now she’s an inspiration to girls all over the world.

When Maddie and Charlie first showed Perfect Harmony to Kenny, he thought it was a Shawn×Camilla song he hadn’t heard.

Jeremy has a sunset curve ghosties tee shirt.

Jeremy’s dog Jake is more lazy, while Finn is more adventurous.

Jeremy’s mike stopped working in the middle of his audition, so he used the time to talk to the crew and got them all laughing.

Owen is definitely getting a season 2 solo.

Kenny said Owen was their golden boy, he can sing, dance and play drums

Kenny said they knew Owen was endgame right from the start, even though he messed up his first audition a little.

Owen is always unsure of himself, and always looking to Kenny for approval.

Charlie is very big on environmental activism, and is going to Ecuador with his brother at the end of the year to help out with shark conservation.

Charlie has a link in his bio regarding a petition to call attention to the Brazil fires, and it’s something he feels very strongly about.

Charlie had a childhood crush on Vanessa Hudgens, and had her cut-outs from the J-14 magazine.

Charlie is the one who suggested the riff for Edge of Great. He said he wanted Luke’s guitar to sing to Julie.

After almost a week of initial auditions, the producers narrowed it down to about seven different actors for each of the four roles. And while the actors were using demos of "Wake Up" and "Bright" during auditions, it wasn't guaranteed that the songs would actually make it into the series. But when Ortega saw Reyes, Gillespie, Joyner, and Shada auditioning, he saw something special in both them and the songs. "They made it their own," he says. "Every time we put this group together, I was feeling something that I wasn't feeling in the rest of them."

During the "mix and match" process of the auditions, Ortega and the other producers would put together different groupings to see how all the actors performed with each other. "We were matched up with so many different people during that process, but every time it was me, Owen, Jer, and Madison, we felt it from the very first moment," Gillespie says. "There was just an instant chemistry," Shada adds. "The first time I was with Charlie and Owen, there was this brotherly bickering vibe that was perfect. And then when we had Maddie, it just sent it over the top." Finally, Ortega couldn't deny the magic he was seeing with this foursome. "When we were all finished with every single actor, I turned to Netflix and my partners, and I said, 'Can I show you what I believe is our band?'" he says. "I went into the back and I dismissed everyone and I said, 'I'm going to look at one more audition, everyone else is free to go,' and I called up Madison, Jeremy, Charlie, and Owen. And they came out onto the stage and they huddled in a band circle. And it gave me goosebumps."

The four actors had no idea they already were Julie and the Phantoms. But they acted like it anyways. "They decided they were going to be this band, and I was feeling it," Ortega says. "And all of a sudden Madison came out of the circle and she walked up to the microphone and she said, 'Hello everybody, I'm Julie and we're Julie and the Phantoms,' and the band kicked into the song, and every camera in the room went up into the air like we were at a real concert. And I turned around and every Netflix executive and all of my creative partners, everyone in the room had their camera up and I was like, 'We are filming our future right here.' That was the moment that I knew, and that there wasn't going to be a debate, we found it, and it was clear.”

"In my culture, death is not the end. it's more of a stepping off point. You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you into a green veld where you can run forever."
