The new Disney Plus show High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is available to stream starting November 12, and to say we're excited is an understatement! Some members of the cast, including Frankie A. Rodriguez (Carlos) Larry Saperstein (Big Red), Julia Lester (Ashlyn), and Dara Renee (Kourtney), stopped by the J-14 studios to talk all about the new show. In addition to spilling deets on their auditions, the cast also discussed the original HSM movies and even divulged their faves - plus, one cast member admitted to never having seen the third movie!

The spring musical of season 2 should be camp rock

[@tiktokaddict3147]

Uhh no. That won't make sense. It is called the actual name for the musical High School Musical.. if they do another musical.. it will probably be High School Musical 2 or 3.

[@jokkeerrr]

camp rock the musical the musical the series

[@emaliecaley1749]

Or Descendants. Though it seems kind of soon for that.

[@insallia]

Brady Mercier it sounds ridiculous but Tim Federle said himself that they won’t be doing HSM 2 or 3 for their spring musical

[@jasminel_1454]

Brittney Cassidy yesss! I need to completely relive my childhood through this show

[@allysonhackworth9155]

Yeah, funny story! I was asked to submit for it and they uad changed the details before and I didn't think it would ever happen, I was in a big theatre competition and didn't have time to film so I just gave it up. It was originally a movie!

4:45 they forgot they met the guy who plays Ryan! (I'm sorry I don't remember the actor's name 🥺) edit: I just remembered it's Lucas grabeel!

[@carolinemary7876]

8:10 - 8:17... there will be.. duh!

[@emaliecaley1749]

Never seen the other 2 movies, yet he's a main character in the remake! Why Disney? Why can't you pick actors who actually care about the role their playing? I guess it makes some sense though because he relates so much to the character.

[@GayDisaster16]

So you mean Disney should do a trivia to find out who has or hasn't seen the movies?! Also, there is more to caring about a role than what movies they've seen

[@meghanodonovan8020]

And Lucas Grabeel???

[@raaaaaa4272]

I've never seen the 3rd movie either lol
