Synopsis: ZOMBIES: The Re-Animated Series follows the daily lives of Zed, Addison, and the entire Seabrook crew. Using A-spen’s alien time warp technology, Zed and Addison start their senior year all over again, so they can redo it with all their friends. And this senior year is going to be the best one ever, with the crew hanging out, having fun, and doing everything from saving the town to saving their favorite drink in the cafeteria. At Seabrook, even an ordinary day in high school can turn into a wild, ridiculous adventure.
Each episode features brand new original songs performed by the stars of the ZOMBIES franchise. A ZOMBIES: The Re-Animated Series Original Soundtrack will be released June 28 on Walt Disney Records.
