For the fourth time around, Milo Manheim, Meg Donnelly, Malachi Barton, and Freya Skye sat down with Kyle Meredith to sink their teeth into Zombies 4, the latest chapter of Disney’s monster-mash musical saga. This time, Zed and Addison find themselves caught in the middle of a new supernatural rivalry — Daywalkers vs. Vampires — as they play camp counselors to Seabrook’s most fang-tastic new recruits. Listen to the episode above or wherever you get your podcasts.
Both Manheim and Donnelly have leveled up as executive producers on the film, and they’re more hands-on than ever. “Milo and I, during this entire franchise, we’ve always loved to talk creatively just about the whole world in general, ‘cause we’re fans of Zombies as well,” Donnelly explained. Manheim added, “There’s always parallels in your own life and the movie that we’re shooting. The story is great. We checked all the boxes that were important to us.”
Newcomers Malachi Barton and Freya Skye came prepared for the monster mayhem, with Barton embracing a different kind of bloodsucker. “The whole writing team did such an amazing job of turning vampires into this fun-loving, friendly type of monster,” he said. Meanwhile, Skye studied up on the franchise’s style: “My way of studying was just watching the movies over and over… Zombies has such a distinctive feel to it.” Off-set, the cast bonded over music, game nights, and even boba-filled “blood fruits.”
