Get’cha head in the game, because the trailer for Disney+’sHigh School Musicaltelevision series is here.
Disney dropped the first trailer for the series, titledHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Series,on Friday during the D23 Expo convention.
In the trailer, the students of East High are ready for their time in the spotlight as they learn their school will be putting on a production ofHigh School Musical.
Unsurprisingly, a love triangle ensues when Ricky (Joshua Bassett), a charismatic skater, auditions for the musical in an attempt to win back his ex Nini. However, she already has found a new man in the form of E.J. (Matt Cornett), who wears a Troy Bolton basketball jersey, just likeZac Efrondid in the original movie.

When it comes time for audition results, Nini and Ricky win the roles of Gabriella and Troy, respectively, much to the ire of E.J., who seemed poised to be the next Troy Bolton.
The former couple is forced to put their differences aside to put on a successful show, as the teaser shows more dancing, singing and drama to come, with (of course) the sound of aHSMclassic,“Stick to the Status Quo.”
Earlier this week, PEOPLE offered an exclusivefirst-look photosat the show, which will air on Disney’s streaming service.
“Doing theater is all about finding your tribe,” creator and showrunner Tim Federle told PEOPLE. “I can’t wait till the world meets the crazy-talented new tribe ofHigh School Musical: the Musical: the Series.”

The originalHigh School Musicalmovie — starring Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, Lucas Grabeel and Monique Coleman — premiered on the Disney Channel on Jan. 20, 2006. A sequel followed on the network on Aug. 17, 2007, and then a third (centered around the group’s big graduation) hit theaters on Oct. 24, 2008.
The original story followed Troy Bolton (Efron), a star basketball player who starts thinking he also might like to sing (and participate in the school musical) after a ski lodge song with Gabriella (Hudgens), who winds up being the new girl in his school.

“There aren’t a lot of writers who get to launch a new streaming platform like Disney+,” Federle said. “It’s a privilege to create a love letter to fans of the originalHigh School Musicalmovies while also making an irreverent, feel-good musical for a new generation.”
High School Musical: The Musical: The Serieslaunches with Disney+, a new streaming platform, on Nov. 12.
