Disney Channel going for Zombies 2 with the main characters who will return and werewolves added to the mix in a sequel of the teen made-for-TV movie.

The Disney Channel (DStv 303) has commissioned Zombies 2 as a made-for-TV sequel, with Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim who will be reprising their roles as the film's main characters, Addison and Zed.

Production will start in autumn.

Zombies 2 will pick up at Seabrook High where the first movie left off, as Addison and Zed - a human cheerleader and a zombie football player, respectively - grapple with the arrival of a new group in town: werewolves.

The werewolves threaten to shake up the newfound peace and causes a rift in Zed and Addison's budding romance.

"Zombies took our worldwide audience of kids and families by storm with its powerful themes and incredible music," says Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide.

"We're thrilled with the work of writers David Light and Joseph Raso and look forward to working again with the immensely talented Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim, as well as our equally talented director, Paul Hoen, to bring a new chapter of Zombies to life."
