"High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" star Dara Reneé has teased nostalgic cameos "for all ages" in the fourth season of the show.

The show has already been renewed for a fourth season ahead of the season three finale, which airs on Disney+ Wednesday.

During Disney's D23 conference last week, it was announced that in the next season of the show, the students of East High will return to find out that a fictional "High School Musical 4: The Reunion" movie is being filmed at their school. This has led to speculation that original "High School Musical" stars Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale may make appearances in the fourth season.

The students of East High are expected to appear as extras in the meta fourth film while also putting on a production of "High School Musical 3."

In an interview with Insider, Reneé, who plays Kourtney on the show, said that season four will "hit the field with nostalgia for all ages."

"It's gonna be a good one," Reneé said. "I don't take that word for granted, but I'm telling you I've read the first script. It's funny. It's relatable and it's gonna make you be like, 'Wait a second. Is that...? Is that...?' That's all I'm saying."

Reneé did not confirm who exactly might make a cameo in the fourth season.

However, the actor said her dream cameo from the original musical trilogy would be Monique Coleman, who played Taylor McKessie.

"I must say Monique Coleman has always been a role model for me," the 21-year-old actor told Insider. "Seeing her being able to play Taylor, and to see someone not only be a representation on the screen but off the screen as well."

Reneé continued: "I remember I met her when I first did my first thing ever and she was like, 'I wanna do an interview with you.' And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, Taylor.' So I would love if she had a cameo. I don't know. They don't tell me anything because they think I'm a spoiler."

Coleman herself told People last year that she "would love" to make a guest appearance on the spinoff show.

This would not be the first time a member of the original "High School Musical" cast has appeared in the show.

Kaycee Stroh, who played Martha Cox, and Lucas Grabeel, who played Ryan Evans, both made cameos in the first two seasons.

The biggest cameo, however, came in season three when Corbin Bleu, who starred as Chad in the movie franchise, played himself and hosted a Disney+ documentary about the East High students.

Fans have also pointed to the fact that earlier this year both Efron and Hudgens, who played high school lovers, Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez, both visited East High a month apart. They both shared their visits on Instagram, leaving fans to believe that a reunion movie might be possible.
