High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is an American mockumentary musical drama television series created by Tim Federle for Disney+, which was first released on November 8, 2019. The first season centers on a group of teenage theater enthusiasts (a cast including Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett, Matt Cornett and Sofia Wylie) who participate in a staging of High School Musical: The Musical as their school production. The series is set at a fictionalized version of East High School, where the original High School Musical film series was filmed. Several cast members from the film series appear in guest roles. Critical reviews have highlighted the performances of Bassett and Rodrigo, and have compared the series to Glee for its music and themes. There has been a mixed reception to the program's mockumentary format. The series won a GLAAD Media Award and was nominated for five Children's and Family Emmy Awards. The third season premiered in July 2022; a fourth season is in production.

 * Reasons for nomination: The show is a contemporary Disney+ series with significant worldwide appeal, due to its upcoming fourth season which will premiere in 2023, as well as the notability of its star Olivia Rodrigo (the topic should have worldwide interest as a TFA). The article was promoted in January 2023, and this would be my fifth TFA. Possible date: any April or May date as the new season will possibly be released around this time.
