The very meta High School Musical spin-off series, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, has previously featured some big name cameos, as actors from the film series such as Lucas Grabeel and KayCee Stroh appeared playing themselves.<\/p>\n

Now, as season 3 approaches, we already know one big cameo will be from Chad Danforth actor Corbin Bleu, and showrunner Tim Federle has explained in an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a> just how that came about.<\/p>\n

Federle said: \u201cI\u2019ve been a long-time fan of Corbin\u2019s, obviously from the High School Musical series and beyond, and it usually starts by saying, \u2018How can we play with the theme of how meta our show is and get new eyeballs on the show, or do something for the really nostalgic millennials who grew up on the show?\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Corbin was so gracious and I think as soon as I spoke to him directly and said, \u2018Would you like to play a slightly jaded, villainous version of yourself?\u2019.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAnd so he was in on the joke and was such a leader on set and so kind to the young people who are in the show now who were the age he was in the original movie. And I think all of the guest stars this season, everyone who\u2019s been teased in the trailer so far, they were just so fun, they came and played with us and it really was like summer camp.\u201d<\/p> <p>Bleu isn\u2019t the only guest star this season \u2013 we also know that Modern Family\u2019s Jesse Tyler Ferguson will be making an appearance, playing an old family friend of Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s character Nini.<\/p>\n<p><strong>High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season 3 starts on Disney Plus on Wednesday 27th July, with seasons 1 and 2 available to stream now.
