“The new season will take a meta turn, with the Principal Gutierrez character announcing that Disney has decided to make the long-awaited High School Musical 4: The Reunion movie on location at their in-show high school.”
Sadly main stars Vanessa Hudgens and Zac have not been named among the guest cast – but that doesn’t mean they won’t appear.
Both stars have recently shared footage and photos of themselves at the set of the Disney + TV show.
Taking to Instagram in July, Zac shared a photo of himself posing outside a school building with his hand held in the sky, and added a caption: “Don’t you… Forget about me” alongside a fist emoji.
But, as we can see from today’s picture, High School Musical favourites Lucus, Corbin, and Monique will feature in the big reunion episode.
In the High School Musical films Lucas played scheming twin Ryan Evans.
While the rest of his cast have had fairly turbulent lives post High School Musical, Lucas has managed to fly steadily.
He landed a role as a young Lex Luthor and Conner Kent in the TV series Smallville, and also appeared in films Little Women, I Kissed a Vampire, and College Roadtrip.
Meanwhile Monique, now 41, appeared in the High School Musical films as Taylor McKessie, who becomes Gabriella’s (Vanessa) best friend.
Monique has gone on to make guest appearances on shows including Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, and Malcolm in the Middle.
In 2006 she appeared in Dancing With The Stars and made it to the eighth week making her the longest-lasting female contestant in her series.
Outside of showbiz, Monique has been an active philanthropist and was even named a UN Youth Champion.
Corbin Bleu, 33, rose to fame as Chad Danforth, the basketball-playing best friend of Troy (Zac).
After the third film wrapped, he turned his musical talents to Broadway and established himself as a fixture in the American theatre world.
He’s trodden the boards for In The Heights, God Speed, and Holiday Inn, the New Irving Berlin Musical.
