Disney Channel announced today that Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3 will begin production this Spring with Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim. That is the good news. The bad news is that this will be the last Z-O-M-B-I-E-S movie. Just like all of the other popular Disney movie franchises like High School Musical and Descendants.
“After the enormous success of ‘Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2,’ we wanted to raise the stakes in this third and final installment,” said Lauren Kisilevsky, Vice President, Original Movies. “So when the ultimate outsiders descend on Seabrook, our team of cheerleaders, zombies and werewolves must band together to face a threat of galactic proportions that may change the face of Seabrook forever.”
That’s right, The cheerleaders, Zombies, and Werewolves (the latter were introduced in the sequel) will be taking on extraterrestrial beings. The only thing they are missing is Vampires. They probably would have shown up in the fourth movie.
Seriously, ever since I saw the first film, I have been telling everyone how amazing it is. The movie was able to give an updated take on school integration in a way that this younger generation can understand. It teaches us we should accept people no matter what they look like, and we should welcome them into our lives, even if they are Zombies.
Plus, the music is outstanding, and I am still listening to it two years later. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should watch it on Disney+. I promise you will love it as much as I do.
As I was scrolling down Instagram yesterday, I came across Camryn Manheim’s photo, and I did not recognize her. She looked gorgeous. Not that she doesn’t always appear that way, but she looked different for the SAG Awards. Her glam squad styled her hair differently, and they lightened up the makeup colors. Thus changing up her normal appearance. Not only that, the maroon and gold gown really works well with her skin coloring. Whoever styled her deserves an award as does she.
When it comes to her son Milo, the Z-O-M-B-I-E is not looking too shabby either. Don’t forget the sequel to his impactful movie debuts Valentine’s Day on Disney Channel.
Even though Milo Manheim came in second place on Dancing with Stars last year and stars in a hit franchise on Disney Channel, he did not graduate high school until yesterday. And he did it with bright green hair.
Is he saying he is too cool for school? Nope, he is still playing a high school student, who is a Zombie, in Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2 that is filming now and he had to dye his hair for the anticipated (by me) movie.
Hopefully, he will be able to go back to black before he starts college in the fall. But then again he will fit right in at NYU. How is mother, Camryn Manheim, going to handle being away from her boy?
In the last year, Milo Manheim made it to the finals of Dancing with the Stars, guest starred on several episodes of American Housewives and is filming the sequel to Z-O-M-B-I-E-S, and yet he shared a photo of himself looking like he was on a break at In-n-Out. What is going on? Has the actor hit hard times?
Far from it. His mom, Camryn Manheim, revealed he will be going to NYU Tisch School. Since there are no In-N-Outs in NYC, I am sure he was just having some fun at the fast food joint.
Movies like La La Land can win and lose the Oscar for Best Movie in a matter of minutes, but I would rather watch the Disney Channel Musical Z-O-M-B-I-E-S over and over again instead. In fact, I have. I am not alone because Disney finally announced today that they will begin filming the sequel in the spring. I don’t know why it took them a year to make it official because I knew after watching it for the first time that it needs as many sequels as they can produce.
The first film is about Zombies being integrated into a human high school for the first time and the normals don’t want to accept them. Think what it was like when schools ended segregation, but this is with Zombies, who are no longer brain eaters. Powerful, right? Plus, this movie is filled with several catchy songs and I cannot get enough of it.
Now we just have to wait for the sequel. Which according to press release, the telemovie, “will pick up at Seabrook High where, after a groundbreaking semester, Zed (Milo Manheim) and Addison (Meg Donnelly) 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.”
Unlike the big screen features, Disney Channel actually makes good sequels for their movies like Descendants 2 and Teen Beach 2. I might have aged out of their demographic a long long long time ago, but that does not mean I do not still love their movies. Teen Beach and Z-O-M-B-I-E-S are two of my all-time favorites and I don’t care who knows it!
Sincerely, if you have not seen Z-O-M-B-I-E-S, then you need to watch it on the ABC app ASAP. Trying saying that three times fast. However, you will want to watch it three times fast!
