Derek Hough Latest News, Photos, and Videos

OMG! We are freaking out!

It was just announced that Asher Angel and Broadway star Andrew Barth Feldman have joined the cast of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series for recurring roles in season two!

Asher will play Jack, a charming, smooth-talking student with wanderlust. Andrew, who starred in the title role in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, will take on French exchange student Antoine.

We had our suspicions a week or two ago when Asher posted on Instagram that he was in Salt Lake City for work, which is where they film HSMTMTS. We are so excited that he’s joined the cast!

“The cast and I are excited for fans to see how Andrew and Asher expand our East High cinematic universe,” creator Tim Federle said.

The boys join previously announced guest stars Derek Hough, who will play Zack, the new drama teacher at East High’s rival high school, who returns to Salt Lake after a successful acting career in New York City; Roman Banks as Howie, a high school junior who works after school as a delivery guy for Big Red’s family’s pizza shop, Salt Lake Slices; and Olivia Rose Keegan as Lily, an energetic East High student whose sweetness masks her highly competitive nature.

In season two, the East High Wildcats, who are preparing to perform “Beauty and the Beast” 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.

Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett will also write more original songs for season two.

If you missed it, HSMTMTS and some of the show’s stars were recently nominated for 2021 Kids’ Choice Awards!

“I love her so much!” he told Access Hollywood. “The fact that she’s going to be a mom, my mind is exploding right now — with joy. But it’s also crazy because I just think of her as my little Bindi. But the same thing about Shawn Johnson. She’s Shawn the mom now. Everybody is growing up. All my babies are growing up! I’m so proud of them!”

Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert made their triumphant return to the dance floor on Monday night’s (October 19) episode of Dancing With The Stars!

The couple performed a stunning, classic Paso Roble during week six of the competition show.

Ahead of the dance, Derek opened up about him and Hayley making their way back to the ballroom.

“Yeah, it’s been a while. It’s been a couple of years, but I’m excited. I’m excited to be back in the ballroom as a judge, but now I’m very excited to be back in there performing and dancing,” he told Fox News.

“I was in the ballroom the other day. It was empty, and we were rehearsing. And I just was reflecting on all the performances I’ve done in that room and the experiences and just the memories, and it’s pretty wild,” Derek added. “So, I’m really excited to add this performance to the list and obviously to share it with my beautiful girlfriend Hayley. We’ve been practicing in the garage for this performance.”

“We’re dancing sort of a classic Paso Doble dance because I love the strings and the drums and the flamenco guitar, just the nylon strings. And things like that, I get excited about, and I love that style, that passion in those dances. I’m looking forward to it,” he continued.
