The 10–episode series takes place 15 years after High School Musical first aired and will see the characters gearing up to produce the school’s first ever big theater production of High School Musical: The Musical.

For those of you who love High School Musical, get ready for brand new songs and acoustic reinterpretations of songs from the original trilogy.

Currently, production of the series is taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, and is being led by executive producer Tim Federle alongside showrunner, Oliver Goldstick. The original trilogy’s Bill Borden and Barry Rosenbush will be back as executive producers as well.

President and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide, Gary March, released a statement about the series talking about the challenges in recreating the joy and magic of High School Musical.

“The challenge we handed the creative team was Herculean. How do you recapture the joy and the magic of the original High School Musical movie… and simultaneously reimagine it completely? That’s like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. And Tim and Oliver – and this amazingly talented and diverse cast and crew – have done exactly that!” he said.

“We are truly excited about this extremely talented cast and the fresh and contemporary take on this globally beloved franchise,” Agnes Chu, the senior vice president of content at Disney+, added.

“From the music and dance, to the character and hilarious meta references, there is something here for fans of the originals, as well as people who are new to East High. It’s going to be an unforgettable viewing experience,” she said.
