The third season of the High School Musical movie franchise spinoff follows the Wildcats as they leave the hallways of East High for the ultimate summer at sleepaway camp, complete with campfires, summer romances and curfew-less nights, according to Disney Plus. Production for the third season will begin later this year in Salt Lake City.
