How to watch

The Zombies franchise is a Disney Channel musical series about the once-divided community of Seabrook, where humans and zombies gradually learn to accept one another. Each installment introduces a new group of misunderstood outsiders — werewolves, aliens, and more — using catchy songs and vibrant dance numbers to deliver upbeat messages about inclusion, identity, and belonging.

🕐 Release Order

Release order is the best way to watch, since each film builds on the town's evolving relationships and introduces new communities in sequence.

1. Zombies (2018)
2. Zombies 2 (2020)
3. Zombies 3 (2022)
4. Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires (2025)

Story chronology follows the same order as release, as each film continues the Seabrook story right where the previous one left off.

📖 Story Chronology

The timeline runs in release order, with Zed, Addison, and the community of Seabrook progressing through each new chapter.

1. Zombies (2018) — zombies and cheerleaders
2. Zombies 2 (2020) — the werewolves arrive
3. Zombies 3 (2022) — aliens come to Seabrook
4. Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires (2025) — a new supernatural community

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch in release order, beginning with the 2018 original. The series tells one continuous story about Seabrook growing more inclusive with each film, and the relationships between Zed, Addison, and the newcomers deepen as the saga goes on. Because every sequel introduces a fresh group of outsiders while building on prior events, following the films in order gives the recurring characters and callbacks their full emotional payoff.
