In Season 2, the East High Wildcats, who are preparing to perform Beauty & the Beasts as their spring musical, face off against rival school North High to win a prestigious and cutthroat student theater competition. Wigs are snatched, loyalties are tested and ballads are belted!

Joining Nini (Olivia Rodrigo), Ricky (Joshua Bassett), Big Red (Larry Saperstein), E.J. (Matt Cornett), Ashlyn (Julia Lester), Kourtney (Dara Renee), Carlos (Frankie Rodriguez), Seb (Joe Serafini), Mr. Mazzara (Mark St. Cyr) and Miss Jenn (Kate Reinders) are several exciting new characters. Zach (Derek Hough), Miss Jenn's ex-boyfriend and former high school heartthrob, shakes things up when he returns to Salt Lake after a successful acting career in NYC to become the new drama teacher at East High's rival high school North High. Antoine (Andrew Barth Feldman), a foreign exchange student at North High, cannot help but flirt with Ashlyn. Howie (Roman Banks), a hyper-smart bespectacled adorkable high school junior, gets close to a certain Wildcat or two while working after school as a delivery guy for Big Red's family's pizza shop, Salt Lake Slices. And Lily (Olivia Rose Keegan) is a sugary sweet energetic East High student who wants nothing more than to be on stage with the Wildcats, but her sweetness masks her hugely competitive nature.
