Disney has now unveiled the first trailer and the release date for Zombie 4, teasing a summer camp like no other. With the promise of music and dance sequences in light of a full-blown conflict between species, the trailer shows complications emerge as Zed and Addison take on the roles of summer camp counselors. The Disney Channel Original movie will arrive on the Disney Channel on July 10 and be available to stream on Disney+ the next day. Check out the trailer below
What This Means For Zombies 4
Zombies 4 Has Many Familiar Elements And New Faces
Nova, a fierce Daywalker played by Freya Skye, and Victor, a proud Vampire played by Malachi Barton, will be at the center of the conflicts in Zombies 4‘s plot. To help their friends unite their warning worlds, Eliza (Kylee Russell) and Willa (Chandler Kinney) will return for the fourth installment. Joining them in the cast are Julian Lerner as Ray, Swayam Bhatia as Vera Mekonnen, Knife as Vargas, Lisa Chappell as Vampire Eldress, and Jonno Roberts as Commander Bright.
Zombies 4 is directed by Paul Hoen, who helmed the previous three installments with a screenplay by David Light, Joseph Raso, and Josh Cagan. Both Manheim and Donnelly serve as executive producers alongside Hoen, Light, Raso, Jane Fleming, and Mark Ordeskey. Familiar faces and a larger lineup are not the only things to look forward to in the new movie. In addition to featuring two of the fan-favorite hits in Zombies, “Someday” and “Ain’t No Doubt About It,” the movie will also include nine new original songs.
Our Take On Zombies 4
Zombies 4 Is Bigger Than The Previous Three
The new trailer offers a sneak peek at the ensemble cast in Zombies 4. On a grand scale, the franchise’s world is expanding beyond Seabrook High School. Interestingly, the fourth movie actually includes a time jump that skips Zed and Addison’s freshman year in college and lands directly during the summer before their sophomore year.
Previously, Donnelly teased that the Zombies franchise could feature a lot more creatures as the main characters venture into the outside world. Without giving away too much, the new trailer for Zombies 4 certainly hints that growth and expansion will be a strong theme in the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie. Not only will the characters take on new roles, but their problems will be more complicated.
