Behind the Screen: ABC will air High School Musical reality series

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

ABC will air High School Musical reality series

Zeus ·
The Disney Channel's crazy-popular fictional franchise High School Musical will soon become a reality series on ABC. The series will be a talent search competition that includes "a nationwide talent hunt followed by a group of contestants studying at a music conservatory to hone their skills," Variety reports. Contestants will be eliminated each week until a final winning performer is chosen" and receives a yet-to-be-announced prize. In other words, it's pretty much American Idol and every Idol clone, except with teenagers and the High School Musical brand name. Variety says "appearances by the franchise's stars likely," and that makes sense, since they are a large part of why "consumer products related to the franchise will reach $650 million in sales this year." The show will air this summer, and The Disney Channel may also air a version of the series, according to Variety. [ via RealityBlurred ]
