What happens

Zombies is an American musical that premiered on Disney Channel on February 16, 2018 as a Disney Channel Original Movie. The film is based on the unaired pilot Zombies & Cheerleaders by David Light and Joseph Raso, and stars Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly, playing zombie football player Zed and human cheerleader Addison who meet and fall in love, and who must lead their respective groups to coexist with each other. Zombies was successful for Disney Channel upon its premiere; the movie received just over two and a half million views during its initial February 2018 premiere. Critically, Zombies received mixed reviews with praise directed towards the positive messages and songs but criticism towards the plot's predictability. The franchise that has spawned from the film resulted in the release of a sequel, Zombies 2, which premiered on Disney Channel on February 14, 2020. A third movie, Zombies 3, premiered on Disney+ on July 15, 2022, before airing on Disney Channel on August 12, 2022. A fourth film, Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, premiered on Disney Channel on July 10, 2025 and July 11, 2025 on Disney+. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
