The show chose fresh stars as its cast members. In a press conference of the show back in January, Theodore relayed why the decided to do so.

"For me, kaya kami sumugal sa bago kasi tama yung process ng creatives. Pinai-interview kami ng upcoming stars and then from their stories,  gumawa kami ng kuwento about Gen Z. And for me, mas maganda 'yung kuwento ng Gen Z tapos 'yung nagpoportray mga Gen Z [din]," he stated.

Zoomers was renewed for season 2 which premiered in July.
