A new series based on the High School Musical movies is heading to the Disney+ streaming service this fall and we have some first look photos!

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (yes, that’s correct!) will follow a group of high school students who are putting on a production of High School Musical for their school musical.

The 10-episode series picks up nearly 15 years after the original movie aired at the real-life location where it all began: East High. It follows a group of students as they countdown to the opening night of their school’s first-ever production of High School Musical. Showmances blossom; friendships are tested while new ones are made; rivalries flare and lives are changed forever as these young people discover the transformative power that only a high school drama club can provide.

Brand-new songs and acoustic “rehearsal room” reinterpretations of songs from the original High School Musical provide the soundtrack for an unlikely group of theater kids who learn “we’re all in this together” when it comes to pulling off an against-all-odds opening night.

Featured in the photos are Joshua Bassett as Ricky, Olivia Rodrigo as Nini, Matt Cornett as E.J., and Julia Lester as Ashlyn, among other cast members.

The series will launch on November 12 when Disney+ is unveiled.
