High School Musical 4 Is Happening

Stay calm, breathe deeply, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Wildcats: High School Musical 4 is actually happening.

Disney Channel just announced that it's officially returning to East High for a new installment of the hit TV movie franchise. We'll not only meet the new Wildcats, but we'll also get to know East High's rivals, the West High knights!

Jeffrey Hornaday, who directed Disney Channel's Teen Beach Movie and Teen Beach 2, is attached to direct and choreograph the new movie, and Peter Barsocchini is returning to the High School Musical world to write the script, along with Dan Berendsen (Hannah Montana: The Movie).

We're not sure whether it includes any members of the original cast or not. The original movies, which first premiered in 2006, starred Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, Lucas Grabeel, and Monique Coleman.

No word yet on when the new movie is scheduled to air, but casting will begin soon.
