Get ReadyEverything a Disney Channel Fan Needs to Know About ‘Zombies 2’

When does the ‘Zombies 2’ come out?

Mark your calendars because the flick is set to hit screens on February 14, 2020! That means fans are only a few weeks away now, and they’re seriously freaking out.

What is the ‘Zombies’ sequel about?

For those who forgot, the first movie was an epic musical that focused on Zed, a zombie football player that fell in love with Addie, a human cheerleader. OK, you may be thinking, why (and how) is a zombie attending high school? Well, in the movie, after an accident at the power plant caused half the population to turn into brain-eating zombies, the government created something called “Z-Bands,” which deliver soothing electromagnetic pulses to keep the zombies from you know, eating human flesh and brains.

So where does the sequel pick up? According to a statement from Disney Channel, “The sequel will pick up at Seabrook High where, after a groundbreaking semester, Zed and Addison continue to steer both their school and community toward unity, but the arrival of a new group of outsiders — mysterious werewolves — threatens to shake up the newfound peace and causes a rift in Zed and Addison’s budding romance.”

“Zombies took our worldwide audience of kids and families by storm with its powerful themes and incredible music,” the president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide, Gary Marsh, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled with the work of writers David Light and Joseph Raso and look forward to working again with the immensely talented Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim, as well as our equally talented director, Paul Hoen, to bring a new chapter of Zombies to life.”

Um, we are so here for this!

Who will star in ‘Zombies 2?’

So far it’s been confirmed that Milo, Meg, Kylee Russell, Trevor Tordjman, Carla Jeffery, James Godfrey and Kingston Foster will all be back for the second film!

We are so excited and I’m so excited to be back filming with all the cast that I love so much.

“Guess what I’m going to be doing this summer? Filming Zombies 2! Woo! I am so excited,” Milo added. “This is all because of you guys. The Zombies fans are basically the best fandom in Disney Channel history and I just want to say, you guys are amazing. I am so excited to be doing Zombies 2. It’s gonna be the best movie ever. I love you guys.”

We caught up with Milo back in November 2018 — and while he didn’t have any confirmation about a sequel at the time, he was really hoping for one.

“Look, I think, in my opinion, it would be dumb not to do it,” he told J-14 exclusively. “I mean, it’s such a great movie. Everyone loves it — but I haven’t heard anything. I’ve heard some things, but nothing like solid. But I’m hoping that we do it. I want to do it — it was fun!”

And when we asked if the rest of the cast would be down he said, “Absolutely!”

Meg also exclusively told J-14 all about she how found out.

“Well, I got a phone call and they said that there was going to be a Zombies 2 and I started freaking out,” she recalled. “And then I called Milo and I was like, ‘Did you hear?’ and he was like ‘YES!’ and we were both, like, crying.”

So sweet! Meg also took to social media in May to let fans know what to expect!

“We’ve been in rehearsals and it’s been amazing” the star shared with fans during an Instagram Q&A. “The songs and dances are bigger and better. And I love everyone so much it hurts.”

Have the cast already filmed ‘Zombies 2?’

Yep, the cast wrapped filming the second movie back in July, which means it’s getting even closer! The stars took to Instagram to share some snaps from their last day on set.
