Today, Disney Branded Television debuted the official trailer and poster for ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires. The highly anticipated Disney Channel Original Movie will premiere Thursday, July 10, at 7 p.m. ET/PT on Disney Channel and stream the next day, Friday, July 11, on Disney+.

In the first three ZOMBIES movies, Zed (Milo Manheim) and Addison (Meg Donnelly) brought human and monster kind together in their hometown of Seabrook. Now, a new adventure dawns for the duo when their summer road trip takes an unexpected detour, landing them in the middle of yet another monster rivalry: Daywalkers vs. Vampires. Tensions flare when Zed and Addison find themselves acting as camp counselors between the two opposing supernatural factions. With the help of Eliza (Kylee Russell) and Willa (Chandler Kinney), they must convince sworn enemies Nova (Freya Skye) and Victor (Malachi Barton) to try to unite their warring worlds before an even greater threat endangers them all.
In addition to Manheim, Donnelly, Russell, Kinney, Barton, and Skye, the ensemble cast includes Julian Lerner, Swayam Bhatia, Mekonnen Knife, Lisa Chappell, and Jonno Roberts.
