Production[edit]
Development[edit]
On June 15, 2022, during the Annecy Film Festival, Disney Television Animation announced development on animated series based on the Zombies franchise, titled Zombies: The Re-animated Series, on Disney+. Writers Joseph Russo and David Light were set to return from the original trilogy as executive-producers alongside Gary Marsh, Descendants: Wicked World creator Aliki Theofilopoulos, and Amphibia story editor Jack Ferraiolo.[7]
Casting[edit]
On August 12, 2022, Meg Donelly and Milo Manheim were confirmed to be reprising their roles as Allison and Zed from the original trilogy.[2] On November 18, 2022, Theofilopoulos confirmed that Carla Jeffery would reprise her role as Bree in the series.[4] Voice recordings for the series had already began by that point.[4] In June 2023, Ariel Martin, Chandler Kinney, Pearce Joza, Trevor Tordjman, Jonathan Langdon, James Godfrey, Kylee Russell, and Terry Hu were confirmed to be reprising their roles in the series.[3] In May 2024, it was announced that Kahyun Kim would be voicing a new character named Dae.[5]
Animation[edit]
Animation services will be provided by Atomic Cartoons.[8] Matt Doering will serve as art director for the series.[9] The artists designed the characters so that they could be reminkscent of their appearance in the movies while also fitting an animated format.[10]
Music[edit]
The series will feature a musical number per episode, performed by its voice cast.[5] Theofilopoulos drew inspiration from her experience in Phineas and Ferb for the show's songs, wanting to combine the humourous tone of the Phineas and Ferb songs with the musical style from the Zombies films.[10]
