What is Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4: Dawn of the Vampires about?

What starts as a carefree road trip for Zed and Addison quickly goes sideways when an unexpected detour drops them squarely into a turf war between two supernatural groups: the Daywalkers and the Vampires. The pair find themselves thrust into the unlikely role of camp counselors, trying to keep the peace between factions that have been enemies for generations. Joined once again by Eliza and Willa, the crew attempts to bridge the gap between rival leaders Nova and Victor — two figures whose mutual hostility runs deep. As the group struggles to broker an alliance, a far larger and more dangerous threat looms on the horizon, one that could doom everyone if the monsters cannot set their differences aside and stand together.

Cast & crew

Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly reprise their signature roles as Zed and Addison, the franchise's warm-hearted central couple. Chandler Kinney, Kylee Russell, Freya Skye, Malachi Barton, Julian Lerner, and Swayam Bhatia round out the returning ensemble. Director Paul Hoen brings his family-entertainment sensibility to this fourth chapter, keeping the musical comedy energy that has defined the series.
