Tim Federle Interview: HSMTMTS Season 3
Much to viewers' excitement, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is finally returning to Disney+ for its long-awaited third season. With fan-favorites such as Olivia Rodrigo, Sofia Wylie, Joshua Bassett, and Matt Cornett reprising their roles, there should be plenty of music, romance, and drama to look forward to.
However, new characters and relationships have the potential to shake things up like never before. The Wildcats have left East High behind for the summer to embark on a new adventure. They attend Camp Shallow Lake and prepare to put on the musical, Frozen, with help from celebrity guest Corbin Bleu and camp director Dewey Wood (Jason Earles, Hannah Montana).

Screen Rant chats with creator Tim Federle about Olivia Rodrigo's role in Season 3 and what's in store for Gina's relationships with E.J. and Ricky.
