Following an epic summer at Camp Shallow Lake, Season 4 finds the students preparing for a stage production of High School Musical 3: Senior Year. However, their plans re disrupted when Principal Gutierrez “announces that Disney has decided to make the long-awaited High School Musical 4: The Reunion movie on location at their beloved high school,” per the official synopsis. And even better, the gang will play featured extras in the movie.

Also joining the cast are Kylie Cantrall, Matthew Sato, Caitlin Reilly and Vasthy Mompoint in recurring roles.

The news comes after showrunner Tim Federle cleared up rumors claiming that Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were also headed to the series after posting photos of themselves at the real East High.

“I’m going to chalk that up to being a remarkable coincidence,” Federle told TVLine, “but we’d love to get Zac and Vanessa and all of them back, so we’re actively working on that right now.”
