A fourth High School Musical is coming to a television near you.

Disney announced Tuesday that High School Musical 4 will premiere on the Disney Channel in 2010. Disney said the made-for-TV movie will feature an entirely new cast of East High Wildcats, since Troy (Zac Efron), Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), and Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) will have graduated.

An Entertainment Weekly reporter is weighing in on this news.

"To me, this begs the question: Can HSM survive without Zac Efron? Based on my limited exposure to the movies, it's rather apparent that perhaps the main reason people (and especially legions of young girls) watch HSM is for Efron. Adorable? Sure. But it isn't just that. More than any other actor in the series, Efron seems to be the one always putting in 110 percent, and his movie stardom has always appeared to be just around the corner (see: Hairspray)," John Young said.

Fans will have to wait until next year to see if this new cast will live up to its predecessors.
