Zombieland 2: Double Tap trailer, release date, cast and all you need to know

Good news for Zombieland fans - the decade-long wait for a sequel is finally over.

Ten years since they mistook Bill Murray for a zombie, the cast of cult classic Zombieland are back for more of the same.

An official trailer for Zombieland 2 has finally been released featuring Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock fighting zombies in the American heartland.

Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenbery and Emma Stone are all reprising their roles for the long-awaited Zombieland: Double Tap and we couldn't be more excited.

Here's everything you need to know about Zombieland: Double Tap.

Bill Murray is returning

Zombieland 2 release date

Zombieland 2 is out in cinemas on October 18, 2019 - so we have a little while to wait just yet.

The date marks a little over 10 years since the original was released in the US.

Who is in the cast?

Most of the original cast members will be reprising their roles. Woody Harrelson returns as Tallahassee, Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus and Emma Stone as Witchita/Krista.

Abigail Breslin returns as Little Rock and Bill Murray returns to play, well, Bill Murray.

New faces include Rosario Dawson, who will play Nevada, Zoey Deutch as Madison and Royal Tenenbaums star Luke Wilson.

Excitingly, Dan Aykroyd will appear as a zombie version of himself - hopefully to as much acclaim as Murray's character was in the original.

What does the trailer tell us?

Expect more of the same - the crew are back to fight some more zombies, but this time right in the middle of the American heartland.

The gang have now formed themselves into some sort of makeshift family, which Harrelson's Tallahassee is seemingly at the head of.

The trailer shows us that Tallahassee appears to have taken up residence in an abandoned White House, while the new "family" have to put up with ever evolving zombies, survivors and interesting family dynamics.
