The first look at the return of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series has officially arrived. On Friday, Disney+ released a first look clip from the series' upcoming third season, which is expected to debut on Disney+ later this summer. The clip was released alongside the news that the show has already been renewed for a fourth season. The clip not only provides a look at what the series' cast and crew will be up to at the summer sleepaway camp of Camp Shadow Lake, but reveals the first footage of original High School Musical star Corbin Bleu on the series. Bleu, who previously played Chad Danforth across the High School Musical movies, will be portraying a fictionalized version of himself in the new season.

Season three of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is set at Camp Shallow Lake, a sleepaway camp in California, as the Wildcats and their fellow campers are primed for an unforgettable summer ripe with romance, curfew-less nights and a taste of the great outdoors. With a high-stakes production of Frozen on the horizon AND a drama-filled "docu-series" of the production in the works, the Wildcats will attempt to show who is "best in snow" without leaving anyone out in the cold.

"This series continues to deliver best in class drama, humor, and heart," Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, said in a statement. "Tim Federle's vision and interpretation of this legacy IP keeps evolving season over season and we can't wait to see what's in store for the Wildcats next."

"This series has been an epic adventure from the start and I'm beyond grateful that we get to keep making music, telling these stories, and showcasing these exceptional stars," creator and executive producer Tim Federle added.

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season three stars Joshua Bassett ("Ricky"), Sofia Wylie ("Gina"), Matt Cornett ("E.J."), Julia Lester ("Ashlyn"), Dara Reneé ("Kourtney"), Frankie Rodriguez ("Carlos"), Saylor Bell Curda ("Maddox") and Adrian Lyles ("Jet").
