The oh-so-wild cast of Disney's musical has returned for its latest installment, Zombies 3.
With a screenplay by David Light and Joseph Raso, the film revolves around a cheer competition but is taken to absurd levels when aliens also join in to participate and win, in addition to their own not-so-friendly planning. It is directed by Paul Hoen.
Zombies 3: Trailer, synopsis and ensemble cast
Disney+'s brand new installment of the popular tween franchise, Zombies 3, is all set to premiere on Friday, July 15 at 3.00 AM ET. The official trailer for the film dropped last month and welcomed viewers back into the lives of monsters and humans, all living in harmony, at Seabrook High School.
The official synopsis for the film reads:
"Zed anticipates an athletic scholarship while Addison gears up for Seabrook's first international cheer-off. Then suddenly, extraterrestrial beings arrive in Seabrook, provoking something other than friendly competition."
Zombies 3 is executively produced by Paul Hoen, David Light, Joseph Raso and Suzanne Farwell. The plot of the film revolves around intergalactic outsiders who have arrived to compete in the cheer-off with the students, only to make them realize that there's more to this than meets the eye.
The film will also have a new soundtrack influenced by modern music and Disney recently unveiled a few tracks from the film, including Alien Invasion, Come On Out and a new rendition of Someday. A special Lost Song version will also premiere on the Channel on August 12, but the main soundtrack will be released on the same day as the film.
