“#HSMZ3 our beloved @djpoltergeis directed an amazing episode of @highschoolmusicalseries & we’ve been doing some of the choreo to #AintSeenNothing all day. it’s pretty addicting…” Meg wrote before sharing the vids on Friday afternoon (July 9).
Disney Channel just announced the exciting news that a third film is coming, with Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim back.
In Zombies 3, Zed and Addison are beginning their final year at Seabrook High in the town that’s become a safe haven for monsters and humans alike. Zed is anticipating an athletic scholarship that will make him the first Zombie to attend college, while Addison is gearing up for Seabrook’s first international cheer-off competition. Then suddenly, extraterrestrial beings appear around Seabrook, provoking something other than friendly competition.
While it has yet to be confirmed on which other stars will return, werewolves Chandler Kinney and Pearce Joza teased their return.
“y’all didn’t think we were gonna leave you on a cliffhanger…… :)))” Chandler commented on Instagram.
“I’m ready!” Pearce added.
“After the enormous success of Zombies 2 we wanted to raise the stakes in this third and final installment,” Lauren Kisilevsky, vice president, Original Movies, Disney Branded Television, said in a statement. “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.”
Filming will begin in Toronto this spring, with Paul Hoen back directing. He has previously directed hit DCOMs like The Luck of the Irish, Jump In!, Camp Rock 2 and both Zombies movies.
The stars will navigate through iconic Disney attractions, including the Haunted Mansion and Cinderella Castle, in an attempt to restore the holiday magic that was stolen by famed Disney villains Maleficent and Evil Queen.
As stars compete for the grand prize, proceeds will be donated to Toys for Tots, a nonprofit organization that delivers hope and the magic of the holidays to less fortunate children.
Check out the first look promo for the special, which will premiere December 4th at 8pm on Disney Channel!

The 20-year-old reprises her Zombies character Addison in this exclusive sneak peek at her new video.
“More Than a Mystery” helps kick off the upcoming animated mini series Addison’s Moonstone Mystery.
The story begins at Seabrook High, where zombies, werewolves and humans are all co-existing happily. A new girl at school, Vanna, whom Addison immediately befriends, threatens to shake up the dynamic when they learn that she is not all that she seems.
Meg‘s “More Than a Mystery” music video will premiere TONIGHT (October 16) at 7:54pm ET/PT, along with the premiere of Addison’s Moonstone Mystery, following a Zombies 2 Werewolf Stories event encore, only on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW!
The Zombies 2 DVD will also feature deleted scenes, Baby Ariel‘s “The New Kid In Town” music video, singalongs and dance tutorials of “Flesh & Bone” and “Call To The Wild”!
The two Zombies stars sang an acoustic version of their hit duet “Someday” from the first movie musical.
“Definitely loving this with @MiloManheim #DisneySingalong @DisneyMusic ‘Someday’ #Zombies @DisneyChannel #StayAtHome,” Meg wrote on Twitter.
Milo and Meg recently opened up about filming the song during the first movie.
“In the first one, it was all so overwhelming because I had never done anything before, and learning the dance moves was just so much,” Milo shared.
“I remember we had to do most of it in one take,” Meg said. “Milo and I were just like this is the biggest challenge. We both have theater backgrounds, and were tap dancing. We were always tap dancing on set.”
“I will tell you about Meg. There is nobody in the world who I would have rather gone through this whole adventure with,” Milo added. AWW!!!
