During the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Disney unveiled a massive slate of animated programming this week. Among the projects announced are a new series based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movie franchise “ZOMBIES” and a new original called “The Doomies.”
“ZOMBIES: The Re-animated series” brings new life and new monsters to the popular music-driven movie franchise “ZOMBIES.” Currently in production at Disney Television Animation, the new series will return to Seabrook High and invite viewers into the daily lives of Zed, Addison, Eliza, Willa, and the rest of the Seabrook crew. This gang may have figured out each other, but they haven’t quite figured out how to survive high school. Get ready for more musical fun and new friends as Seabrook becomes the #1 destination for all kinds of mythical monsters looking for a fresh start. Whether you’re a cheerleader, a zombie, a werewolf, or even a vampire—sometimes the scariest thing you have to face is high school.
“The Doomies” was exclusively greenlit as part of a new slate of animated originals being developed by Disney Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) for global family audiences on Disney Channel and Disney+. Directed and co-created by Andrès Fernandez (“Zig and Sharko”), “The Doomies” tells the story of best friends Bobby and Romy, who mistakenly open up a gateway to another world and turn their sleepy coastal town into a hotspot for terrifying creatures of doom. Roped into an epic supernatural mystery, they will cross paths with the so-called “Chosen One” and do battle with both literal and inner monsters.
“The Doomies” is a spooky comedy that combines thrills, chills, and surprises with character-driven comedy from an odd couple of ordinary teens engulfed by extraordinary circumstances. Its fast-paced humor and high-stakes action take place in a quirky French town in the heart of Brittany, imagined with moody flair and graphic style.
No release window for the projects was announced.
“ZOMBIES: The Re-Animated Series” is being produced by Disney Television Animation with Aliki Theofilopoulos, Jack Ferraiolo, Gary Marsh, David Light, and Joseph Raso as Executive Producers.
“The Doomies” is being produced by Marc du Pontavice of Xilam Animation for Disney EMEA.
