Production is scheduled to begin this spring in Toronto on the music-driven “ZOMBIES 3,” the intergalactic third story in the Disney Channel Original Movie franchise.

Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim are set to reprise their roles as Seabrook’s star-crossed zombie/cheerleader couple Zed and Addison.

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, extra-terrestrial beings appear around Seabrook, provoking something other than friendly competition.

DGA Award-winner Paul Hoen, who has directed a record-setting 15 Disney Channel Original Movies (“The Luck of the Irish,” “Jump In,” “Let it Shine,” “Camp Rock 2” and both “ZOMBIES” hits among them), will direct the “trequel” from a screenplay by David Light and Joseph Raso (nominees for a Humanitas Prize for “ZOMBIES”). Light, Raso and Suzanne Farwell (Disney’s “Upside Down Magic”) are executive producers.

“After the enormous success of ‘ZOMBIES 2,’ we wanted to raise the stakes in this third and final instalment,” said Kisilevsky. “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.”
