Charlie Andrews, executive vice president of Live Action and Alternative Series at Disney Branded Television, said, "'BUNK'D' has been a defining series for Disney Channel, and its loyal fans keep coming back year after year for the laughs, entertainment and adventure they know and love. We are looking forward to another season set in the Wild West full of more outrageous stories and hijinks with our stellar cast of characters.

Season six of "BUNK'D: Learning the Ropes" will air a holiday-themed episode on Friday, Dec. 2, with new weekly episodes returning in January 2023. Set in Dusty Tush, Wyoming, Lou, Parker, Destiny and Noah have been working double time to get the new Kikiwaka Ranch up and running, learning new ranch skills, acquainting themselves to the townsfolk and welcoming their new campers. It's been a bumpy start, but campers Bill, Winnie and Jake have loved their time at summer camp. In addition to perfecting his cowboy skills, Bill is discovering his fellow campers may be just as fun to hang out with as herding cattle. Winnie is learning to reign in her thrill-seeking needs, and Jake is realizing how exciting real-life can be away from video games. Meanwhile, counselors and campers band together to hunt for a mysterious treasure that is said to be hidden somewhere on the ranch.
"BUNK'D" is executive produced by Dunlap, May, David Booth, Valerie Ahern and Eric Schaar and was created by Pamela Eells O'Connell. Jason Shubb serves as producer. The series carries a TV-G parental guideline.
