“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” will begin streaming on Disney+ from November 12 this year.

The announcement was shared on the Facebook page of the High School Musical spin-off series, which officially wrapped production on Friday (July 26). “Its official! High School Musical: The Musical: The Series wrapped production this week. Start streaming November 12th only on #DisneyPlus,” the post read.

The 10-episode series picks up nearly 15 years after the original smash-hit movie aired and will follow a new group of musically-talented teens putting on a production of “High School Musical”. It will feature new songs and acoustic “rehearsal room” reinterpretations of the songs from the original films.
