A third and final film, ''Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3'', released on Creator/DisneyPlus on July 15, 2022, with an "encore" edition (with extra scenes and a bonus song) set to air on the channel on August 12. Zed, Addison, and their friends are beginning their final year at Seabrook High in the town that's become a safe haven for monsters and humans alike. Zed is anticipating an athletic scholarship that will make him the first Zombie to attend college, while Addison is gearing up for Seabrook’s first international cheer-off competition. Then suddenly, extraterrestrial beings appear around Seabrook, provoking something other than friendly competition, which could also give Addison clues toward her true identity.
