The Disney franchise kicked off in 2018, quickly becoming the High School Musical of the modern era with a supernatural twist. Fast forward to July 2025 and we’re getting a fourth instalment, this time with vampires.

What’s it about?
Zombies 4 sees the duo trading Seabrook for the open road – until an unexpected detour throws them straight into the middle of yet another monster feud.
Their summer road trip takes a dramatic turn when they stumble upon a camp divided by two new supernatural factions: Daywalkers and Vampires.
With returning allies Eliza and Willa by their side, Zed and Addison must try to unite sworn enemies Nova and Victor before an even greater threat tears their world apart.

Of course, no Zombies movie is complete without music – and Dawn of the Vampires delivers with its most nostalgic soundtrack yet. The first single, ‘The Place to Be’, dropped on May 2 alongside the soundtrack pre-order, and it’s already giving big early-2000s Disney Channel vibes.

The song features Zed and Addison learning more about the rivalry between the Daywalkers and Vampires.
“This soundtrack is so incredible,” Donnelly told ABC Audio at the 2025 Disney Upfront. “It’s very nostalgic… like that Camp Rock, High School Musical vibe we grew up on.”
