Much like the real high school experience, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is ending after four seasons. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show's fourth season will debut in August and mark the last outing for the newest generation of Wildcats. A new trailer for the fourth season was released today, and it teases "the final season is just getting started." 

"This series was always about found family, and about making something you love with people you love. In other words, it was a tribute to theater kids," showrunner Tim Federle said in a statement. "I can't wait for our dedicated fan base to watch this world-class cast take a final bow." He added in an Instagram post, "This will be our final, endgame season. This show brought the most extraordinary cast – and crew, and collaborators – to my life. To the fans who embraced our super-meta series, we 'don't not love you.'" You can check out the post below:
