A new version of “High School Musical” is coming to Disney — and it will be filmed in Utah, its original stomping grounds.
On Thursday, the Governor’s Office of Economic Development approved tax incentives that helped lure production of “High School Musical: The Musical” to the Beehive State. It’ll be a homecoming of sorts: The original 2006 Disney Channel TV movie, its 2007 TV movie sequel and the 2008 theatrical release “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” were all produced in Utah.
The 10-episode series is slated for Disney’s still-unnamed streaming service — its version of Netflix — which is expected to launch sometime in the second half of 2019.
