Disney released the trailer for their forthcoming High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, set to premiere on Disney+ on November 12.
The 10-episode scripted series, set as the real-life East High, where the original movie was filmed, follows a group of students as they countdown to opening night of their school’s first-ever production of “High School Musical.” With meta references and some docu-style elements, it’s a modern take on the “classic” from 15 years ago. Show-mances blossom; friendships are tested, while new ones are made; rivalries flare; songs are sung; and lives are changed forever as these young people discover the transformative power that only high school theater can provide.
Brand-new songs and acoustic “rehearsal room” reinterpretations of songs from the original “High School Musical” provide the soundtrack for an unlikely group of theater kids who learn “we’re all in this together” when it comes to pulling off an against-all-odds opening night.
The series stars:
Joshua Bassett as Ricky
Olivia Rodrigo as Nini
Matt Cornett as E.J.
Kate Reinders as Miss Jenn
Julia Lester as Ashlyn
Larry Saperstein as Big Red
Sofia Wylie as Gina
Dara Reneé as Kourtney
Frankie A. Rodriguez as Carlos
Mark St. Cyr as Mr. Mazzara
