The trailer for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season 2 previews the teen drama’s return to Disney+. One of the first original programs to be available on the streaming service, the show initially focused on a group of teenagers at East High School as they participate in a stage play of the High School Musical movie.

The upcoming season is also set to feature brand new songs written by Rodrigo and Bassett, both of whom have experienced surges in their popularity for their respective singles “Driver’s License” and “Lie, Lie, Lie.”
