This should be no surprise that another sequel to High School Musical is in the works!
Production on High School Musical 4 is expected to start later this year.
Unlike HSM 3, HSM4 will premiere on the Disney Channel, not in theaters.
"The High School Musical trilogy introduced a new generation to the celebrated genre of movie musicals. In crafting this next iteration, we've challenged the entire creative team to raise the bar again — and create something truly worthy of this extraordinary global phenomenon,” said the president of the Disney Channel.
Since it's more than likely that Zack Efron and the old gang from the last three sequels won't be back for the fourth installment, I wonder who will be the new Zac Efron in HSM4?

Oh God WHY???????
Because the kids (and the gays) love it. I know you don't care about musicals, but as long as the Disney franchise continues to make millions of dollars, there will be sequels.
when does quality outweigh $$$???
Don't get me wrong - I don't totally disagree with what you said but each one of these movies loses something in translation - kind of like re-recording audio cassettes [you remember those, don't you??? LOL
They definitely lose that quality the more sequels you make. Why do you think the SAW sequels and many others never hold up to the original. people expect too much predictability. Disney feels they can carry on the franchise without the kids that made it popular. only time will tell if the younger generation will be as accepting. And yes bitch I do remember cassettes. i happen to own quite a few.
People expect predictability? But do they want it? People crave nostalgia - Read the lyrics to Gil Scott-Heron's "B-Movie" he was very eloquent on the subject. Disney - once the purveyors of the most original [if sappy] movies - see Pollyanna for example!! Enough suger to make a diabetic go into a coma from watching it. Anyway - Disney has resorted to a production line cookie-cutter formula. Its a frightening thing.
Not only frightening, but sad. What's worse is that we keep them in business by purchasing that shit.
Cookie-cutter formula with a bunch of Disney whores in the forefront. I can name a list of hot messes on the Disney roster: Britney SPears, Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, the list goes on.
