Zed and Addison are back in the new film Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires.

The movie, which premieres Thursday on Disney Channel and streams the next day on Disney+, stars Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly as the couple who brought the human and monster-kind together in their hometown of Seabrook.

This time, the pair are traveling on a summer road trip when they take an unexpected detour and find themselves in the middle of another monster rivalry between Daywalkers and Vampires.

Manheim and Donnelly caught up with ABC Audio at the 2025 Disney Upfront, where they spoke about what fans of the franchise can expect from the new film.

“This soundtrack is so incredible,” Donnelly said. “The music is so great. It’s very nostalgic.”

Specifically, Donnelly says the music will sound nostalgic for those who grew up with the popular Disney Channel musicals from the early aughts.

“I’m sure if you heard ‘[The] Place to Be,’ it’s kind of like that Camp Rock, High School Musical vibe, which we grew up on. And so it coming back around is really cool and really new, because we haven’t had that in the Zombies franchise at all,” Donnelly said.

Manheim said Zombies 4 hasn’t even been released yet, but “it feels nostalgic when you’re watching it.”

“It does feel bigger and better, and I feel like we’ve said that about every Zombies movie, because it’s been true,” Manheim said. “It feels like the start of something new.”

The Morning Show season 4 is on it way.

Apple TV+ released the official teaser trailer for the fourth season of the drama series on Wednesday.

The trailer finds Jennifer Aniston‘s Alex Levy and Reese Witherspoon‘s Bradley Jackson walking toward each other in slow-motion down a New York City street.

Real-life headlines often appear as part of The Morning Show‘s plots. Previous seasons have incorporated the #MeToo movement, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Jan. 6 insurrection into the plot of the show. This time around, it seems as though conversations about artificial intelligence are at play.

“We have to question everything that we see and we hear, now more than ever,” Aniston’s Alex says in voice-over in the trailer.

Season 4 picks up after a time jump. It begins in spring 2024, which is a couple years after the events of season 3.

“With the UBA-NBN merger complete, the newsroom must grapple with newfound responsibility, hidden motives and the elusive nature of truth in a polarized America,” according to an official description from Apple TV+. “In a world rife with deepfakes, conspiracy theories and corporate cover-ups — who can you trust? And how can you know what’s actually real?”

Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Greta Lee, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, Boyd Holbrook and Jon Hamm are all set to appear in the season.

The Morning Show season 4 premieres Sept. 17 on Apple TV+. A new episode will drop each week until the finale airs on Nov. 19.

Aubri Ibrag on Lizzy and Theo’s kiss in ‘The Buccaneers’ season 2: ‘She feels so safe around that man’

(SPOILER ALERT) Lizzy and Theo give in to their desires in the latest episode of The Buccaneers.

In the fourth episode of season 2, which debuted Wednesday on Apple TV+, Theo (Guy Remmers) and Lizzy (Aubri Ibrag) take their attraction to the next level when they kiss during a garden party. By the end of the episode, Lizzy appears at the Duke of Tintagel’s castle, where the pair seem to start an affair.

Not only is Lizzy engaged to be married to Hector (Jacob Ifan), she is the best friend of Nan (Kristine Frøseth), who is Theo’s wife. So, why would Lizzy take such risks in pursuing Theo? Ibrag told ABC Audio it is because “she sees something familiar in Theo that she recognizes in herself.”

“This sort of genuineness and vulnerability and sensitivity,” Ibrag said. “It’s so easy for them to get along and I think that sort of turns into an attraction because she feels so safe around that man.”

One of the other fan-favorite couples on the show is Mabel (Josie Totah) and Honoria (Mia Threapleton). In episode 4, Conchita (Alisha Boe) tries to set Mabel up with a male suitor, unaware of the nature of her feelings for Honoria.

Totah says she enjoyed the ways Mabel and Honoria’s love story grew in season 2.

“I always say the gay people on this show somehow are the only ones who know how to communicate,” Totah said. “We don’t really have problems. Other than the fact that, you know, the society doesn’t accept us and that, you know, we live in a system of oppression. But aside from that, we can really effectively communicate with one another.”

New episodes of The Buccaneers season 2 drop Wednesdays on Apple TV+.

‘Superman’ star Anthony Carrigan shares how Christopher Reeve helped him embrace his alopecia

Anthony Carrigan is opening up about the deeply personal connection he has to Superman.

The actor plays Metamorpho/Rex Mason in the upcoming James Gunn-directed Superman film and told Good Morning America that Christopher Reeve, who starred as the DC Comics superhero in the 1978 Superman film and its sequels, helped him embrace his alopecia, with which he was diagnosed as a child.

“When I was a kid, my mom told me about all of these actors and people who had alopecia, and she told me about Christopher Reeve,” Carrigan said at the film’s premiere in LA on Monday night.

Carrigan continued, “That was really special, because I really figured, well, if Superman could have alopecia, then I can have alopecia.”

Reeve, who portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films, was diagnosed with alopecia areata as a teen. He opened up about the disease in an interview with The New Yorker in 2003 and also spoke about the condition in his 1998 autobiography, Still Me.

Reeve died in October 2004 at the age of 52.

Alopecia is a blanket term for hair loss. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are different types of alopecia, and experts believe some types occur when a person’s immune system inappropriately targets their own hair follicles, which stifles hair growth.

There is no cure for alopecia but there are treatments, including steroid injections and oral steroids or various immunotherapies. Red light therapy may have benefits for some patients with certain types of hair loss, but not all, according to research published in the journal Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, available on the National Library of Medicine’s website.

Carrigan said knowing about Reeve’s struggle with alopecia was “a big deal for me” growing up.

“So knowing that I’m now part of Superman, I’m now part of this legacy,” he added.

In Gunn’s Superman, Metamorpho, also known as The Element Man, has the power of manipulation. In production notes for the film, Carrigan said his character can “turn himself into whatever he wants” because of this power.

“So, it’s a blessing and a curse. He, I think, sees it more as a curse,” he said. “He does not like the way that he looks, which I can certainly relate to. You know, growing up with alopecia, that was something that I wished that I could change about myself back then, and it really affected my self-esteem. It affected the way that I moved through the world. And so, that’s certainly a kind of aspect of this character that I feel like I can really relate to. But since then, since accepting that, it really has become a kind of superpower of mine, this different, unique look of mine.”

Superman flies into theaters July 11.

Slow Horses has scored an early season 7 renewal.

Apple TV+ has renewed the series through its seventh season before its season 5 has even debuted.

Gary Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb in the spy thriller series that also stars Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jonathan Pryce.

Slow Horses is based on the Slough House books by Mick Herron. Season 7 will adapt the novel Bad Actors from the popular series.

The plot of season 7 will follow Jackson Lamb and his Slow Horses as they go on a “hunt to find and neutralize a mole at the heart of British Government before they can bring down the state,” according to an official description from Apple TV+.

Slow Horses has won fans all over the world with its unique mix of self-deprecating British humor and high-octane action. I’m delighted viewers will have another season to enjoy Gary’s magnificent performance as Jackson Lamb alongside the Slow Horses’ slightly inept spycraft,” Jay Hunt, the creative director of Apple TV+ in Europe, said.

Season 5 of Slow Horses premieres on Sept. 24. An upcoming sixth season of the series was announced last year.
