‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’ showrunner Tim Federle is hoping Zac Efron will appear on the show.
Streaming Showrunner Tim Federle is waiting for his call. High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is moving even further away from the original movies in Season 2. Instead of staging a rendition of High School Musical 2, the characters are doing Beauty and the Beast. This is because showrunner Tim Federle wants the spinoff to have an identity of its own. In fact, he initially didn’t want any of the original HSM stars involved. “When we came up with the concept of the show, and I was like, ‘Look, it’s a group of new theatre students at this school.’ I didn’t want us to have to get any of the original cast members, ” Federle told Digital Spy in 2020. “I wanted the show to kind of stand on its own two feet.” However, when the series eventually went into production, he changed his mind.
