Disney+ Renews HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: THE MUSICAL: THE SERIES

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: THE MUSICAL: THE SERIES has been renewed for a second season—nearly a month ahead of its official Disney+ launch. (The series will also get a special on-air preview on Friday, November 8.)

“We are incredibly excited to bring the next chapter of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: THE MUSICAL: THE SERIES to Disney+,” said Ricky Strauss, president, Content & Marketing, Disney+, in a statement. “Tim and this talented cast have delivered a first season that is uplifting, funny, touching and relatable across generations. We are confident that the world, like us, will want much more of these characters, incredible songs and moments of joy.”

Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide, added, “We challenged Executive Producer Tim Federle to re-imagine the world of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL for a contemporary audience. At every turn, Tim has delivered a show that’s imaginative, layered, optimistic and heartfelt, one that remains reverential to the original HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL premise while carving out its own identity with new characters, new relationships and both new and familiar songs. We’re thrilled to have the encouragement and support for a second season from our platform partners at Disney+.”

Per Disney+, “The series is set at East High School, the setting and filming location of the original movies. It introduces members of the drama club and their faculty advisors as they work their way to opening night of their school’s first-ever production of “High School Musical: The Musical.” Show-mances blossom, old friendships are tested while new ones are made, rivalries flare, and lives are changed forever as these students discover the transformative power that only high school theater can provide.”
