It's been exactly a decade since Zac Efron's high-schooler bounced a few basketballs around while sporadically breaking into song about being in love with Vanessa Hudgens, and in celebration, Disney has announced a reboot of the franchise.

Of course, with both Efron and Hudgens off enjoying fairly decent careers away from East High, Disney are focusing on the fresh-faced individuals who could become the next actors to enamour a whole new generation. Independent reports that a nationwide US casting call is due to begin this spring.

Wildly popular in its day, High School Musical debuted on Disney Channel in 2006 becoming its most-watched broadcast of all time (7.7 million), a record smashed by its sequel in 2007 (17.3 million). This success earned trilogy-closer High School Musical: Senior Year a cinema release in 2010.
