Disney+ shared the first few minutes of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season 4 on Tuesday, July 25, which featured a glimpse at the fictional filming of High School Musical 4.

It was less about coming out and just more about letting his true colors come forward.”
Ortega went on to explain why Ryan’s sexuality couldn’t be discussed when the musical film came out.
