BUNK’D” is back with a fifth season, and it brought Peyton List back with it!

Fresh from her glamorous career as a fashion designer in Milan, Italy, Emma Ross paid a special surprise visit to Camp Kikiwaka in last week’s season premiere. Ugh, just when we thought we couldn’t feel any more (or, should we say, s’more) FOMO than we already do! The OG camper reunited with all her old friends, including Lou (played by Miranda May), Ava (Shelby Simmons), Noah (Israel Johnson).

To celebrate her return to the show, we caught up with Peyton, who couldn’t help but gush over her “BUNK’D” family, why making a special guest appearance is so special to her, and what growing up in the “Jessie” universe was really like…

“Emma is such a special part of me. I feel like I am that character, that character is part of me. I was 12 when I first got “Jessie,” and now I’m 22…it’s been a decade! That show was my high school…everyone there is my family. Being able to reunite and see everyone was so special,” she said.
