High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is an American mockumentary musical drama television series created by Tim Federle for Disney+, which was first released on November 8, 2019. The first season centers on a group of teenage theater enthusiasts (played by Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett, Matt Cornett, Sofia Wylie and others) who participate in a staging of High School Musical: The Musical as their school production. The series is set at a fictionalized version of East High School (pictured), where the original High School Musical film series was filmed. Several cast members from the film series appear in guest roles. Critics have highlighted the performances of Bassett and Rodrigo, and have compared the series to Glee for its music and themes. There has been a mixed reception to the program's mockumentary format. The series won a GLAAD Media Award and was nominated for five Children's and Family Emmy Awards. The third season premiered in July 2022; a fourth season is in production. (Full article...)

It is a small butterfly that can be found throughout the Palearctic realm, where it occurs primarily in grasslands rich in chalk. Males are a pale blue colour, while females are dark brown; both have chequered fringes around their wings. This mating pair of chalkhill blues was photographed at Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve in Oxfordshire, England. The species breeds and produces a new generation only once per year.
