After nearly five years, the fourth and final season of the Disney Plus series is set to conclude. The season delivers on the nostalgia promised in Federle’s original pitch, paying homage to the original “High School Musical” films. The return of actors from the original movies, such as Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman, Lucas Grabeel, Alyson Reed, Bart Johnson, and Kaycee Stroh, adds to the anticipation. The final season follows the production of “High School Musical 4: The Reunion,” a high-budget movie that continues the story of the East High characters. The fictional sequel also incorporates the theater kids from East High into the background of the series, creating a meta-collision of the reboot show and the original movies. Additionally, the drama department prepares its own production of “High School Musical 3.”
Despite its humble beginnings as a low-budget made-for-TV movie, the “High School Musical” trilogy has become a cultural phenomenon. The story of Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez, torn between their academic and athletic pursuits and their love for performing, captured the hearts of young audiences worldwide. The first broadcast of “High School Musical” on Disney Channel attracted over 7 million viewers. The soundtrack topped the charts and became the best-selling album of 2006. The franchise’s success led to concert tours, merchandise, and stage productions.
The original film was a surprise hit, exceeding expectations and paving the way for director Kenny Ortega’s career. The sequel, “High School Musical 2,” broke records for cable television viewership. The third film, “High School Musical 3: Senior Year,” was released theatrically and grossed over $250 million worldwide.
While fans speculated about the return of Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron to the spinoff series, their appearances in front of the real-life East High School in Salt Lake City turned out to be unrelated to the show.
Although the iconic characters may not return, the latest episodes of HSMTMTS explore the lives of beloved characters in new ways. The series delves into the lore of the original films and offers a deeper understanding of the characters. It also tackles important topics such as LGBTQ+ relationships, with Carlos and Seb’s romance being Disney’s first gay love story. The show has received numerous accolades for its original songs and inclusive storytelling.
The show features breakout star Olivia Rodrigo, who wrote her first charting song for the series. In 2022, HSMTMTS received five Emmy Award nominations.
