Bunk’d Was Not Renewed After Season 7
Bunk’dseason 8 is not confirmedand in December 2023, it was announced that season 7 would be the final one for the Disney series (viaDeadline). The announcement came after a difficult time for the film and TV industry;the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. Production forBunk’dseason 7 halted in May due to the strike, with only 12 of the expected 20 episodes completed. Those episodes began airing in July 2023 and then, when the strike ended, Disney ordered 10 more episodes but announced that would be it for the show.
Ayo Davis, President of Disney Branded Television, said in a statement,
“With a fantastic cast of characters and hilarious and heartful storylines, it’s no wonder Bunk’d has been one of Disney Channel’s longest-running and successful live-action series. We’d like to thank our talented cast, creative team and crew for bringing tremendous joy and laughter to kids for seven incredible seasons.”
The fact the show was able to finish out its storyline rather than be cut completely is much better than the treatment some other series received.
