The Disney revival will feature an entirely new set of characters. Troy, Gabriella, and Sharpay will not be involved in the series, so fans of the High School Musical movie franchise, which ended ten years ago, will be slightly disappointed. Producer Oliver Goldstick and his writers plan to bring a whole set of new faces to the show.

The show will revolve around Ricky, who is a Youtuber and is obsessed with coming up with ideas to make him a quick buck. He will join the drama crew as a ploy to win back his ex-girlfriend Nini, who will explore her natural talent on the show.

Fear not, the film franchise will not be entirely forgotten. The students of East High School will be staging their own version of High School Musical and all the songs from the original films will be featured. How meta is that?

The series will be filmed in the style of a documentary and all the tracks will be remixed to keep things fresh. The show will be exclusively available on Disney’s streaming service.

A release date for the new series has not yet been announced but we’ll keep you posted as more details surface.

Kristen Bell teamed up with Jason Cohen (Silicon Cowboys) to executive-produce this new TV special that will reunite high school musical casts from many years ago. The reunited classmates will perform their high school musical one last time. Will Gluck, director of the movie adaptation of the musical Annie, is backing the project.

Bell can’t forget her first high school musical experience, calling it a “watershed moment,” adding that it changed the way in which she experienced the world.

“I wanted to produce Encore! to help others re-experience their days on stage and re-discover the distinct bonding that comes with high school theatre,” Bell said in a statement. “Our show is about converging past dreams with present circumstances and I hope viewers can laugh and see themselves among the insurance salesman, the pregnant woman, and the rest of the classmates as they tackle Sondheim.”

The show will feature former students reprising their roles from their original production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods, now under the guidance of Broadway directors, choreographers, and voice coaches. ABC has confirmed that Bell will appear in the special. This project marks the actress’s most significant undertaking as a producer.

Encore! will premiere December 10 on ABC
