Disney+.“Tim Federle, the showrunner, gave me a call right before we started filming,” Bassett, 19, tells The Post. “He said, ‘We have this spot for Ricky and he sings this song and I really would like it if you could actually write it yourself.’ And he kind of gave the premise. “Essentially it’s a Christmas song and the idea is that Ricky doesn’t have a lot of money and there’s not much that he can get [his love interest Nini].

So he does the next best thing he can do — and that’s [to] write her a song.”Inspired by the “High School Musical” hit Disney movie franchise, the series — which is currently filming its second season (no premiere date yet) — follows teens at East High, including skateboarder Ricky (Bassett) and jock E.J.
