Will there be a Zombies 5? Cast give exciting update

by

The fourth installment of the Zombies series, titled “Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires,” is now available on Disney Plus, sparking discussions about a potential Zombies 5. Enthusiasts are brainstorming possible directions for the franchise’s progression, and the cast has revealed some intriguing developments.

Movie enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to in July. Superman has taken flight at the cinemas, Jurassic World: Dominion is creating quite a stir, and The Fantastic Four: Initial Adventures will be hitting screens in about two weeks.

This implies that there isn’t much happening in the streaming world, except for those who enjoy catchy pop songs reminiscent of High School Musical and supernatural teen dramas. The fourth installment of Zombies, titled “Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires,” debuted on Disney Plus on July 11, and it’s garnering the same level of success as its previous releases.

As conjecture increases about the possibility that Zombies 5 might be underway, let’s explore the facts – and consider a potential genre-bending twist that could stir up trouble in Seabrook.

Will there be a Zombies 5?

While Disney hasn’t officially announced Zombies 5 yet, it doesn’t necessarily mean the project isn’t in motion. In truth, as suggested by Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim, who star as Addison and Zed respectively, the Zombies franchise appears to be expanding further.

In a conversation with Deadline, Manheim stated about Zombies 4, “The first three films feel like they formed a single trilogy, and now this movie seems to be the beginning of a new trilogy.

He went on to say, “At first, what drew me in was the idea of starring in a Disney film. But now, I believe my continued involvement is due to the incredible positivity that the Zombies franchise has spread around the globe. Plus, it’s simply delightful to collaborate with such enjoyable individuals while making movies.

Donnelly commented, “I find it incredibly exciting that the idea of Milo and myself are essentially passing on the legacy of the film to a brand-new generation of children who have grown up with it.

In simpler terms, the original Zombies movie was released in February 2018, and the decision to make a sequel was made in the following year, also in February. The third film came out according to the same timeline, but the fourth one took a bit more time.

In contrast to Zombies 3 premiering in July 2022, it wasn’t until February 2024 that Dawn of the Vampires was officially announced. This delay could be due to Disney adjusting their content approach, prioritizing quality over the number of productions for their streaming originals.

Another possibility is that the delay might have been strategic, allowing for a refreshing break in creativity. With the fresh characters and melodies now established, if the upcoming film excels on Disney Plus, there’s an increased likelihood that Zombies 5 will be given approval more quickly.

What could it be about?

Without confirmation, we’re left to guess. However, enthusiasts are sharing their thoughts on where they’d love to see the Zombies series venture next – perhaps towards underwater creatures like mermaids, or darker entities like witches.

So far, we’ve encountered creatures like werewolves, aliens, vampires, and yes, zombies. At the moment, it remains to be seen, but considering their brief appearance in the third installment, merfolk seem to be the most likely addition to our roster of supernatural beings.

In a post on Reddit, someone said, “It seems like mermaids and possibly witches have gone missing,” to which another user replied, “Yes, because at the end of the film, mermaids appeared, but they weren’t included in the actual movie.

A third individual chimed in, “The reanimated series featured witches. Let’s have a Zeddison wedding in the Zombies instead!

While some people are hesitant that we’ll see more of Zed and Addison, given their recent statements indicating they are prepared to “hand over the mantle”.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but notice that the old crew seems to be taking a backseat in Dawn of the Vampires, making room for some fresh faces. It’s an exciting shift, and I can’t wait to see how these new characters will contribute to the storyline.

It’s possible that they still have some time left. As Manheim put it, “One of the fascinating aspects of this franchise is that we’ve essentially built a world with endless possibilities for exploration.

We’re actually growing beyond Seabrook’s limits, which makes me wonder about the future. Frankly, I’m excited to find out. I believe the world might benefit from yet another Zombie film.

During a different conversation, actress Chandler Kinney (known for her role as the leader of the werewolves, Willa, in Disney’s films) was questioned about a potential fifth installment. In response, she expressed, “This series continues to provide something special for everyone involved…

Reflecting on it now, I believe I was 18 years old when we shot Zombies 2. In a month, I’ll be celebrating my 25th birthday. It’s amazing to think that Willa is still an integral part of my life, and the world around us has grown and evolved as significantly as it has.

I’m incredibly thankful! This has been an absolutely amazing journey, and I’m always ready for more. One thing we can surely agree on when it comes to the universe of zombies is that there are no boundaries, and the potential is boundless.
