Fans of Disney's Zombies franchise are ecstatic to reunite with mainstays such as Addison and Zed in Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires. However, a few additional original characters were missing from the movie, including Pearce Joza's Wyatt, who debuted in 2020's Zombies 2.
Zombies 4 features Og characters Zed, Addison, Eliza, and Willa stuck in the middle of a feud between daywalkers and vampires during a post-college road trip. During a moment of downtime between main pairing Zed and Addison, the two briefly recount what their other human and monster friends have been up to since 2022's Zombies 3. Zoey (Zed's younger sister) and Wynter (a werewolf) are mentioned. However, another of Willa's pack members, Wyatt, is not.
Wyatt’s absence in Zombies 4 may surprise fans, especially since actor Pearce Joza appeared ready to return. In a January 2025 interview with The Permanent Rain Press (following the filming of Zombies 4 in 2024), Joza...

In the frequently picked-over corpse of author Charles Perrault’s classic story “Cinderella,” centered on a servant girl who rises from obscurity after falling in love with a prince, lie such themes as perseverance, hope and the value of being a dreamer. These are the cornerstone principles of the Disney corporation, founded by a fellow dreamer who, similar to the plucky protagonist in the fairy tale, made a wish and saw it come true. Though the studio has plundered these riches before with the likes of the popular 1997 TV movie musical and 2015’s lavish live-action feature, Disney+ original “Sneakerella” amounts to a modernized, more tween-oriented telling. Director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum’s re-sole of the story, which sees a talented teen fantasizing about designing sneakers for sports royalty, delivers a poignant take on the 1950s animated film it partially cannibalizes.

When the folks behind Disney Junior’s reboot of “Muppet Babies” were asked to build the new show, they wanted not only to introduce a new generation to the wonders that are the Muppets, but to tell meaningful stories that beyond what many shows for preschoolers feature.
“When Disney talked to me about the show, I said ‘What are you looking for? A show about numbers or “Today’s color is blue?” Ep Tom Warburton explained. “They said they didn’t want that. They wanted entertainment with a good moral center that was funny and that would be enjoyed by both preschoolers and their parents.”
They are on the right track. An episode of the show has been nominated for a prestigious Humanitas Prize, a recognition that honors writers “whose work inspires compassion, hope and understanding in the human family.”

From Joseph Raso (Zombies & Cheerleaders) and Mark Farrell (Corner Gas), Seed tells the story of Harry (Adam Korson), an underachieving bachelor/bartender who is also a sperm donor. Harry reluctantly begins a relationship with three separate recipient families – a laid-back lesbian couple with a 9-year-old son, a neurotically hopeful single mom-to-be and an uptight, upper-class family with a rebellious teenage daughter – with whom he’ll come to share more than just his DNA.

Like vampires, zombies are in vogue right now, so much so that even the Disney Channel is getting in on the act, News reaches us from Awn that the network has ordered a pilot for a new high-school based series that features not only zombies but that most evil of high-schooler, the cheerleader. On top of all that, the pilot, entitled Zombies and Cheerleaders, is also a musical..!
From the press release:
Disney Channel has ordered the music-driven pilot “Zombies and Cheerleaders.” Production on the pilot begins in December in consideration for a Disney Channel series to premiere in 2012.
The story follows Zed Necrodopolis, a typical high school student with one small caveat; he happens to be a zombie. Despite a high-tech wristwatch designed to curb any appetite he may have for his classmates, he and his zombie friends remain unpopular with the school’s most influential group, the pom-pom wielding cheerleaders.
