A New Series From The 'High School Musical' Creators Is Coming To Netflix

There's a new show on its way to Netflix and it's got High School Musical creator, Kenny Ortega at the helm - so we're expecting huuuge things.

The show, titled Julie and the Phantoms will drop on the streaming platform in September and it'll be made up of nine, 30-minute episodes - so very bingeable I think we can all agree...

So what's it all about then? Well, it focuses on high school student Julie (Madison Reyes) who lost her passion for music when her mum sadly passed away last year.

But when the ghosts of three musicians from 1995 (Charlie Gillespie, Jeremy Shada and Owen Patrick Joyner) suddenly appear in her mum's old music studio, Julie begins to feel inspired to start singing and writing her own music once again.

Making friends with the ghosts, they convince Julie to create a band - aptly named Julie and the Phantoms. The series is all about the highs and lows of life, growing up, following your passions and believing in yourself.

Created by Emmy Award-winning director Kenny Ortega, Dan Cross and Dave Hoge (The Thundermans, Pair of Kings) serve as executive producers and Paul Becker (Descendants, Mirror Mirror) is choreographer on the show.

We're expecting some seriously impressive dancing and heaps of catchy songs, just like High School Musical.
