A new promotional video for the film, originally announced
in 2021, was revealed on the official website for the original “ Zombieland
Saga ” franchise. This new film will be titled “ Zombieland Saga:
Dream Galactic Paradise ( Yumeginga Paradise )” and
is scheduled to premiere this year in theaters in Japan.
The release also included a new promotional visual
showing the seven members of Franchouchou and their reactions to the moment
when producer Kotaro Tatsumi tells them the news of the film. However,
the trailer only shows a compilation of scenes from the first and second
seasons .
On the other hand, Manabu Otsuka, CEO of MAPPA
studios , commented on the matter:
- « To everyone who has supported 'Zombieland Saga'. It's been a long time coming, but the day has finally come when we can announce the theatrical release. The love and support of the fans has constantly motivated us. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!

I am excited and grateful for their dedication every day, and I can't wait to share the results of their efforts with you. We will continue to work hard, so we hope you enjoy 'Zombieland Saga' in theaters! »
On the other hand, “ Zombieland Saga ,”
which debuted in Fall-2018 (October-December) in Japan,
quickly won the hearts of many with its unique combination of idols and
zombies. This led to the production and premiere of a second season in Spring-2021
(April-June) , and the announcement of the film in the same year. It
should be noted that the cancellation of the “ Yuri!!! on ICE ” film,
also from MAPPA studios ,
had fans worried about the status of this project.
Synopsis of Zombieland Saga
Throughout the ages, a group of legendary girls have
become zombie idols to save Saga Prefecture. It’s the return of cutting-edge
zombie idol anime! One day, Minamoto Sakura lost her life in an unfortunate
accident. Ten years later… When Sakura wakes up in a strange mansion, the
mysterious idol producer Tatsumi Kotaro tells her that she will join a group of
legendary girls to form an idol unit. The seven girls are on a mission to save
the vanished Saga Prefecture and adopt the group name Franchouchou.
After overcoming the difficulties brought on by their
different ages and periods in history, their undead zombie bodies allow them to
defy expectations of what idols can be. During the late winter of the Heisei
Era, they held their first concert at Karatsu’s Furusato Exhibition Hall,
Arpino, taking another step toward becoming a legend. Now, in the modern Reiwa
Era… The curtain rises on a new chapter in Franchouchou’s history, as they
march toward a bright, hopeful future.
