The second season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, an American mockumentary musical drama streaming television series created by Tim Federle, premiered on Disney+ on May 14, 2021; the season consisted of 12 episodes, which released weekly until July 30, 2021. The series itself is inspired by the High School Musical film series.
The students of the East High drama club return after the success of High School Musical and put on a production of Beauty and the Beast, and find themselves in the middle of a rivalry between Miss Jenn and her high school rival Zack, who is the drama club director of North High, that sees them entered into a prestigious high school theater competition.
Filming for the second season began in February 2020 but was shut down a month later due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with production resuming later that year and ending in early 2021. Joe Serafini, who recurred in the first season, was promoted to series regular, while this would be the final season with Olivia Rodrigo as a series regular. Disney+ renewed the series for a third season in September 2021.[1]
