Zombies 5 Story Details

From the Deadline announcement of the new film: "Following the events of Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, the newfound peace between the Daywalkers and Vampires is put to the test when a band of fierce mermaids arrives in Rayburn, making waves and casting a persuasive siren song to lure in new allies. Nova and Victor must unite their groups once more to discover what the mermaids are really after in order to protect the fragile harmony they worked so hard to build." Paul Hoen again directs, and the film will feature "next-level" dance sequences choreographed by Dondraico Johnson.

Disney is wasting no time keeping Zombies and Descendants fresh for a new generation. The two franchises are linked together forever, including as a traveling concert experience. This one, however, came out of nowhere and became one of the most popular original series in the company's history. Was that because of Manheim and Donnelly? We are about to find out. No premiere date has been set yet, but it will be on both Disney Channel and Disney+ when it is ready.
