Did you know that the new Netflix musical series Julie and the Phantoms was actually a Brazilian series first??

The original show aired in 2011 in Brazil under the title, Julie e os Fantasmas.

Here’s a synopsis, via Wikipedia: Julie (Mariana Lessa), a 15-year-old girl, and three ghosts: Daniel, Felix and Martim. Julie frees the musical ghosts who were trapped in a vinyl record. Shortly thereafter, Julie’s life changes completely: she forms a band with the ghosts and starts performing regularly in her city. The friendly ghosts help her deal with daily problems, particularly her passion for music and her love for Nicolas.

While both shows have a similar main plot, IE Julie makes music with a ghost band, the new Kenny Ortega-produced version took a little different approach, focusing on the loss of Julie’s mother and her passion for music, which they shared together.

“It’s a sweet spot for storytelling in the YA space when someone’s got a secret, so we gravitated towards that. The more we dove, we got into the emotion of it and we started thinking about the character of Julie and her journey,” co-showrunner Dan Cross told ET. “When you’re telling a story, you want the protagonist to have the most growth. So we were like, ‘We should lean more into the mother’s passing.’ We decided it was going to be more than a show about a ghost band, once we really got into Julie’s character.”

Star Madison Reyes actually got the blessing from the original Julie, Mariana Lessa.

“When she messaged me, that was so crazy,” Madison said to ET. “It really made me feel like this was true and I’m not dreaming. Even while we were in the process of filming, I just constantly thought back to who Julie already was for so many people and how I want to continue that legacy and do it right and do the character justice because that’s what she deserves. But also, just kind of finding myself through Julie, which is also very interesting because she’s this girl who everybody can relate with. Knowing that made it a much more fun experience because I’m excited to see everybody else’s reaction and how they start to love Julie as well.”

The music from the brand new series Julie and the Phantoms is out now!

The full season one soundtrack features 15 original songs from the show’s stars Madison Reyes, Charlie Gillespie, Jeremy Shada, Owen Patrick Joyner, Cheyenne Jackson and Savannah May.

Julie and the Phantoms – Madison, Charlie, Jeremy and Owen – all sing and play their own instruments on the show and their skills are definitely showed off on the soundtrack.

The new Netflix series comes from High School Musical and Descendants‘ director Kenny Ortega, who executive produced the show and directed some of the episodes.

Here’s a synopsis: High schooler Julie (Reyes) lost her passion for music after her mom died last year. But when the ghosts of three dreamy musicians (Gillespie, Joyner, Shada) from 1995 suddenly appear in her mom’s old music studio, Julie feels her own inner spirit beginning to reawaken, and she’s inspired to start singing and writing songs again. As their friendship with Julie grows, the boys convince her to create a new band together: Julie and the Phantoms.

JJJ got to know soon to be rising star Madison with our exclusive 10 Fun Facts feature. Check it out below!

Julie and the Phantoms premieres THIS Thursday (September 10) on Netflix.

• 1. I’m a big anime fan. I’ve been watching anime since the 6th grade, and my love for it has only grown. The most recent anime I finished was DEMON SLAYER.
• 2. I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. If you were to ask what my favorite crafty snack was on set, they would all say PB&J. Maria, the lovely lady in charge of crafty, would always put halves on my chair just before she put the sandwiches out for everyone else.
• 3. I love reading. My favorite series at the moment are all the “Alex Cross” books by my favorite writer James Patterson.
• 4. I played Princess Jasmine in my 7th grade school musical. Being a princess was something I constantly daydreamed about while growing up. When I heard that the school musical was Aladdin, I worked so hard to get the role. My favorite moment from playing her was on closing night. This little girl wanted to take a picture with me because I was a princess.
• 5. I know I mentioned anime, but I’m also a really big DC Comic fan. My father and I are really into that stuff. He prefers Marvel but DC’s animated movies are just too good and never disappoint. I also just really love all the Robins and their individual backstories.
