First up, big news! 'Zombies 4' has officially begun shooting in the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand, stepping away from the usual Toronto sets that hosted the previous three movies. Principal photography began on March 26, 2024, and guess who’s returning? That’s right! Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly are back as Zed and Addison, steering us into new territories with some intriguing new cast members like Freya Skye and Malachi Barton joining the squad as mysterious characters Nova and Victor.
Now, let's get into the juicy part-the plot! In 'Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires' our beloved duo is embarking on a road trip post their first year in college. But it's not just any road trip. They stumble upon the opposite worlds of Sunnyside and Shadyside, where they meet not just vampires, but a whole new ensemble of monsters that are at war among them! Can you guess what thrilling twists are waiting our heroes?
Behind the camera, Paul Hoen, the visionary who directed the first three films, is back. Along with returning favorites Chandler Kinney as Willa and Kylee Russell as Eliza, and let’s not forget the exciting addition of new faces like Swayam Bhatia and Julian Lerner respectively as Vera and Ray.
And what about one of the core component of the Disney Zombies franchise, the soundtrack? Well, you can certainly expect the music to be bigger and better! With over 2.7 billion streams from the previous soundtracks, we're sure to get some chart-topping hits that you'll be humming all summer long.
Let's talk about the release date now. While we don't have an official one yet, the 'New Kids on the Block' video published on the official Disney Zombies KZfaq channel states in the description that Zombies 4 is coming in 2025 to Disney+ and Disney Channel. We can also estimate the release month based on previous movies' premiere dates. The first and second movies were released in February, closely aligning with Valentine's Day, which seems to be a preferred launch window for the franchise. However, the third installment deviated from this pattern with a summer release in July. Given this mix, the fourth film could potentially aim for a similar early-year release in February or, following the new trend, a summer release again in July 2025.
Now, for the nice surprise I mentioned at the beginning of this video... get ready, because we don’t have to wait until next year to have new adventures with Zed and Addison! That's right, 'Zombies: The Re-Animated Series' is set to animate your screens this summer on Disney Channel and Disney+. More info about this in an upcoming dedicated video, so stay tuned!
