Bleu, 33, previouslyteased his musical numberwith Wylie ahead ofthe season 3 premiere, noting that he “pushed” for them to dance together early on.
“I had said to [series creator Tim Federle], ‘If I don’t get to do a dance number with Sofia I think we’re completely missing out,'” he recalled. “And he made it happen.”
Wylie, 18, tells PEOPLE that working with the OG Wildcat was “truly a pinch-me moment.”
“I really did grow up watching the [HSM] movies and loving his character,” she says. “I just loved him and I loved his talent and who he was as a person. Then, getting to meet him and actually know him intimately, he was exactly who I thought he was going to be.”
Wylie adds that Bleu’s talent is “immense” and really made her step up her own game for the number. “I really had to work my butt off and keep up.”
As the rest of this season progresses, Wylie reveals that there are “a lot of plot twists” to come in the remaining episodes.
“Where people think things are headed will switch up on them,” she teases. “There’s so much drama, but I know that everyone is going to eat it all up.”
Plus, there are even more exciting moments to look forward to asHSMTMTShas already been renewed for season 4.
With filming expected to start in September in Salt Lake City, Utah, Wylie says that she’s been having extensive conversations with Federle about his plans for season 4.
“[Tim] is so inclusive and really wants myself and the rest of the cast to have an input and a say in what we hope to see this coming season,” she says. “He’s just such a wonderful collaborator and I’m very lucky for him.”
“The musical that we’ll be putting on in season 4 is super exciting,” she adds. “I think you are going to love it. I’m just so excited to start filming. I think it’s going to be the best season yet.”
