Zombies 2, the sequel to the tween comedy Zombies, is set to air on Disney Channel later this week with a raft of new songs.

The sequel features the original cast alongside some newcomers, as well as fresh choreography for its host of brand-new songs. Starring are Milo Manheim (ABC’s Dancing with the Stars) and actress/recording artist Meg Donnelly (ABC’s American Housewife), reprising their singing/dancing/acting roles as star-crossed couple Zed and Addison, whose endearing love story illustrates that being your best self is the truest way to find happiness and belonging.

The movie is set to air on Friday, February 14, at 8 p.m. on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW in a programming event designed as a culmination of kids’ Valentine’s Day 2020 celebrations.

Also reprising their roles are Trevor Tordjman as Bucky, Kylee Russell as Eliza, Carla Jeffery as Bree, James Godfrey as Bonzo and Kingston Foster as Zoey. Joining the cast are Chandler Kinney as Willa, Pearce Joza as Wyatt and Ariel Martin (Baby Ariel) as Wynter.

Set in the newly united town of Seabrook, Zombies 2 resumes the story as cheerleader Addison and zombie football player Zed are readying for Seabrook High’s Prawn, the school’s supersized prom. But when a group of mysterious teenage werewolves, led by Willa, Wyatt and Wynter, unexpectedly arrive in search of an ancient life source buried somewhere in Seabrook, a fearful city council reenacts Seabrook’s anti-monster laws making it impossible for Zed and Addison to attend Prawn together.

The Zombies 2 music spans the cheerleaders’ pop beats, the zombies’ hip-hop flow and the werewolves’ world beat style in nine original songs. Four songs were written by Rock Mafia (the team that wrote and produced “Queen of Mean” for Descendants 3). The Zombies 2 soundtrack, from Walt Disney Records, will be available on February 14.
