A new High School Musical movie is in the works, but fans shouldn't expect to see Zac Efron , Corbin Bleu and Vanessa Hudgens singing and dancing on the big screen.

High School Musical 4 will bring the franchise back to television, and it's set to debut as a Disney Channel original movie in 2010 with a new cast of characters.

The movie, which involves a classic love triangle set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and the West High Knights, will begin production later this year.

"The High School Musical trilogy introduced a new generation to the celebrated genre of movie musicals. In crafting this next iteration, we've challenged the entire creative team to raise the bar again -- and create something truly worthy of this extraordinary global phenomenon," Gary Marsh, president of Disney Channels Worldwide, said in a statement.

The screenwriter of the next installment, Peter Barsocchini, wrote each of the first three movies in the franchise.

Disney's Emmy Award-winning High School Musical premiered in January 2006 on Disney Channel in the U.S., and the sequel currently ranks as the No. 1 basic cable telecast of all time.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year debuted in theaters in October 2008. Its premiere weekend box office sales marked the highest debut ever for a musical and for a live-action G-rated film.
