Real ones know that Disney+ doesn’t just have Marvel and Star Wars. Families and Disney adults alike have been enjoying season 1, season 2, and season 3 of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, a totally charming YA series once you get past all the excessive punctuation. The show was Olivia Rodrigo’s pre–“Drivers License” breakout (and pre–“Drivers License” breakup), so the world really owes fans a thank-you, IMHO. Is the show that put the singer-songwriter and It Girl on the map coming back for more? Here’s what East High Drama Club has in store.
First things first, *has* High School Musical: The Musical: The Series been renewed for season 4?
Yes! The series was renewed for a fourth season ahead of the third.
Will Olivia Rodrigo be back in season 4?
Probably not, TBH, but she might have a cameo. The actor/songwriting overnight sensation has a scaled-back role in season 3, which is already being called her character’s send-off, according to Entertainment Weekly—so I think she’s pretty much done.
What (and who) will season 4 be about?
Because season 3 took place over summer break, season 4 will be about fall semester of the next year and whatever Miss Jenn has the Drama Club doing. What year is that, you ask, for many of our East High Drama Club? Senior year, baby! Ricky, Kortney, Big Red will all be seniors—as will Nini, if we do see her at all. EJ, as you may remember, technically graduated already. That said, Carlos, Seb, Ashlyn, and Gina will all be juniors in season 4, and there are new characters from season 3 who could join.
No, I mean which *musical* will they do in season 4?
Because it’s senior year, it only makes sense that they do High School Musical 3: Senior Year! And yes, that’s the official musical that they’re doing.
Announced at D23, “In season 4 of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, after an epic summer at Camp Shallow Lake, the Wildcats return to East High, where they will prepare to put on a stage production of High School Musical 3: Senior Year. On their first day back, the principal announces that Disney has decided to make the long-awaited High School Musical 4: The Reunion movie on location at their beloved high school, and our Wildcats will be playing featured extras in the movie. It’s season 4, and it’s now or never.”
But even with this being the official pick, there’s always a chance that we’ll see some songs from other musicals from the House of Mouse. (It is a Disney+ series, after all, so, like…I get it.)
So wait, are OG High School Musical cast members actually reuniting?
The answer is that we don’t really know. We’ve already seen Corbin Bleu and Kaycee Stroh come back, so there’s always a chance they might reappear. As for the big two, Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron? Well, they were just spotted hanging around East Hight around the exact same time. Could this be a coincidence? We sure hope not!
When will HSM:TM:TS be back for season 4?
This is probably one of the hardest things to predict, TBH. Season 1 aired on Disney+ between November 2019 and January 2020. Season 2 followed between May 2021 and July 2021, and season 3 got here a year later, airing between July 2022 and September 2022. It has hit every season. I would think that if it takes about a year to make, the new season will premiere in the fall of 2023. But who knows?!
