This is the place to be, all right.

Just over a year since Ayo Davis, President of Disney Branded Television, announced that a fourth ZOMBIES movie had been greenlit, Disney today released the first official sneak peek at ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires, the next chapter in the smash-hit, music-fueled franchise. The teaser reunites Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly as beloved zombie-cheerleader power couple Zed and Addison and introduces Freya Skye and Malachi Barton as the latest supernatural arrivals: Nova, a fierce Daywalker, and Victor, a proud Vampire.

Previously, Zed and Addison brought human and monsterkind together in their hometown of Seabrook. Now, a new adventure dawns when their summer road trip takes an unexpected detour, landing them in the middle of yet another monster rivalry: Daywalkers vs. Vampires. Tensions flare when Zed and Addison find themselves acting as camp counselors between the two opposing supernatural factions. With the help of Eliza (Kylee Russell) and Willa (Chandler Kinney), they must convince sworn enemies Nova and Victor to try to unite their warring worlds—before an even greater threat endangers them all!

Rounding out 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.

The highly anticipated Disney Channel Original Movie will premiere Thursday, July 10, at 7 p.m. ET/PT on Disney Channel and will stream globally the next day, Friday, July 11, on Disney+. ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires will also be available on Disney Channel On Demand.

Addison, played by Meg Donnelly, and Zed, played by Milo Manheim, must convince monster rivals Victor, played by Malachi Barton, and Nova, played by Freya Skye, to put their differences aside in ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires.

Beloved for its high-energy song-and-dance elements, the ZOMBIES franchise expands with a fourth installment that packs nine new original songs and two reprises of fan-favorite hits, “Someday” and “Ain’t No Doubt About It.” The movie features next-level dance sequences, choreographed by Dondraico Johnson, and an original score composed by Tom Howe.

Paul Hoen returns to direct the fourth film, having directed the previous three. With a screenplay by David Light, Joseph Raso, and Josh Cagan, ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires is executive produced by Hoen, Manheim, Donnelly, Light, Raso, Jane Fleming, and Mark Ordesky. Mahita P. Simpson is co-executive producer alongside co-producer Cagan and producer Skot Bright. The movie is a production from Night Zone Productions Limited.

In addition, later this summer, the Descendants/ZOMBIES: Worlds Collide Tour will visit over 43 arenas across North America, celebrating the music from ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires alongside songs from the hit Disney Channel Original Movie franchises Descendants and ZOMBIES.

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES 2, and ZOMBIES 3 are currently streaming on Disney+.
