Disney Channel will resurrect its successful High School Musical franchise, announcing Tuesday a casting search for new original movie High School Musical 4.

The new movie will continue the story of High School Musical, which launched the first of three films in 2006, and will introduce a new cast of East High Wildcats and their cross-town school rivals, the West High Knights, said network officials.

Jeffrey Hornaday (Teen Beach Movie, Teen Beach 2) will direct and choreograph the movie, according to Disney.  

The High School Musical franchise, which helped launch the careers of young actors Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu, drew 7.7 million viewers in its January 2006 debut, at the time setting a Disney Channel ratings record.

The August 2007 High School Musical 2 film remains the most watched original movie in cable history, generating 18.6 million viewers.

"High School Musical is part of Disney Channel’s DNA,” said Gary Marsh, President and Chief Creative Officer for Disney Channels Worldwide in a statement. “It embodies all that we stand for. As a way of continuing to embrace that heritage, we're excited to announce 'the start of something new' -- as we launch a search for a new class of East High Wildcats to star in a fourth installment of the 'High School Musical' franchise."

Disney Channel will celebrate the 10th anniversary of High School Musical by reuniting several stars from the popular film, the network said Sunday.

High School Musical stars Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman will appear in nostalgic interstitial segments during Disney’s Jan. 20 airing of High School Musical, said the network. Zac Efron will also be featured in a pre-taped message to High School Musical fans. The movie initially premiered Jan. 20 and generated 17 million viewers – at the time a cable record for an entertainment show.

"Seeing the cast of High School Musical back together again reaffirms what made it special 10 years ago,” said Gary Marsh, President and Chief Creative Officer, Disney Channels Worldwide. “It's their optimism, their dedication and their extraordinary talent -- as a group -- that made this such an exceptional movie and cultural phenomenon.  Ten years later, the movie continues to delight audiences around the globe, not just for its memorable song and dance numbers, but for its universal themes that continue to resonate with fans everywhere - express yourself, believe in yourself and always follow your dreams."
