On Tuesday (April 21), Disney unveiled the first teaser for ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires, the latest installment of the popular musical movie series.
In the new movie — premiering July 10 on Disney Channel and streaming July 11 on Disney+ — Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim return as Addison and Zed, the “zombie-cheerleader power couple” at the heart of the franchise. The actors are also credited as executive producers of the Disney Channel Original Movie, in which they star alongside new castmates Freya Skye as Nova, a “fierce Daywalker,” and Malachi Barton as Victor, a “proud vampire.”
