James energy, which Tim called the вЂњgreatest reference.вЂќ Tim explained what inspired him to cast Derek as Zack Ryan. (Disney+)ДЇor all the Glee fans out there, Derek HoughвЂ™s Zack Ryan gave off major Jesse St. I think we also go in new directions as well.вЂќ We also wanted to expand and sort of break out of the Zac and Vanessa mold a little bit this season. But I also think that Sofia and Joshua and Olivia and Dara and Julia and this cast can kind of can do it all. We put a lot of them into the first episode to say to the fans: we hear you. When it comes to the actual High School Musical songs, theyвЂ™re amazing. I think that the song is really going to resonate with people emotionally. IвЂ™ll just say itвЂ™s episode 205 where itвЂ™s a cover of a song that everybody knows, but itвЂ™s not from the High School Musical canon, and itвЂ™s not an original song. ThereвЂ™s one in particular that IвЂ™m really excited about. вЂњI think there are a couple of moments in the season musically where we do something we did not do in season 1. The season 2 premiere did feature samplings of iconic High School Musical 2 numbers like вЂњBet On ItвЂќ and вЂњFabulous.вЂќ Tim revealed whether or not weвЂ™ll get sprinkles of more HSM2 musical numbers throughout the rest of season 2. I think Ricky is very much on that list.вЂќ She has to come face to face with things that could have been and might still be. This is the season where she tries to run and struggles, too. вЂњGina goes on a big journey this season because itвЂ™s all about what happens when you put down roots and start to slowly take your walls down,вЂќ Tim teased. Tim previewed GinaвЂ™s journey in season 2, which will include figuring out whatвЂ™s going on with Ricky. The day after you finally say вЂI love you,вЂ™ what happens next? A lot of what their journey is this season as a couple is figuring out now that sheвЂ™s gone on this journey to Denver, now that heвЂ™s trying to figure out if heвЂ™ll do the show without her, theyвЂ™re also figuring out who they are as a couple now that theyвЂ™re so willing to both say вЂI love you.вЂ™ДЄt the New YearвЂ™s Eve party where all the big reveals were made, there was a look (we all saw it) between Gina and Ricky. вЂњA lot of it is aboutвЂ¦ I donвЂ™t know if youвЂ™ve ever done the long-distance relationship thing, but having survived many, I think so much of the adolescent experience and really just the dating experience is just when you get something to what you dreamed it could be, then thereвЂ™s the day after,вЂќ Tim said. Tim broke down how this relationship will evolve in season 2.

They found their way back together, and now theyвЂ™re being split apart. Nini and Ricky had just gotten to a solid place after so many highs and lows last season. Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett as Nini and Ricky.
