Disney’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series has been a hit on Disney+, and season 2 will welcome a few new faces to the mix. Disney announced that Andrew Barth Feldman (Dear Evan Hansen, Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical) and Asher Angel (Andi Mack, Shazam!) are joining the show in season 2 as guest stars. We aren’t sure who they will be playing in the show just yet or how big a role either of them have throughout season 2, but both seem to be substantial roles going by executive producer Tim Federle’s comments.

“The cast and I are excited for fans to see how Andrew and Asher expand our East High cinematic universe,” said Federle.
Season 2 has the East High Wildcats preparing to perform Beauty and the Beast as their spring musical, and they will be facing off against North High for the chance to win a cutthroat student theater competition. The competition is going to live up to that cutthroat label, and there will be two new solos featured written by Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.
In addition to Feldman and Angel, season 2 will welcome guest stars Derek Hough as the new drama teacher Zack, Roman Banks as high school junior Howie, and Olivia Rose Keegan as East High student Lily.
