'High School Musical: The Musical: The Series': Release date, plot, cast, trailer, and everything you need to know about Disney's reboot
Rise and shine Wildcats, because your time is finally here. After over a decade of wallowing in the post 'High School Musical' misery, it is officially time for East High to reprise its role as the host of Wildcats with Disney Channel's very own streaming service Disney+.
Arriving at the streaming platform this November, the series will be everything 'High School Musical' with a docuseries twist, called 'High School Musical: The Musical: The Series'.
Think mockumentary styles as you've seen in 'The Office' and 'Modern Family', but here, pupils attending East High — the titular high school from the 'High School Musical' franchise — will be asked to put up their own musical.
Will old songs be coming back? Will the original actors reprise their roles somewhere along the way? Most importantly, will we see Troy and Gabriella 10 years from where we left them in 2008? Here's all you need to know:
Release date
'High School Musical: The Musical: The Series' is all set to arrive on Disney's streaming platform, Disney+, this November 12. The series will be 10 episodes long and will drop all together on the forum.
Plot
According to the official synopsis of the show, the series will follow "a group of students at East High who stage a performance of High School Musical for their winter theater production, only to realize that there is as much drama that happens offstage as there is onstage."
The story follows basketball prodigy Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) who falls in love with the new girl and chemistry wizard, Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens), but once the two realize their talents in singing for their school's annual musical, the entire universe comes together to keep them apart.
Spoiler alert: The world doesn't stand a chance against Troy and Gabriella 'Breaking Free'. What's better? Every episode in the series will have a new rendition of a song from 'High School Musial' as well as an original song.
