Descendants: The Rise of Red Sequel Movie in the Works at Disney+ and Disney Channel

The Descendants franchise found Wonderland, but they’re about to get lost in it.

Disney+ and Disney Channel announced that the sequel film to Descendants: The Rise of Red is officially in development.

While the film’s title and release date have yet to be announced, Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker will reprise their roles as Princesses Red and Chloe, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts and Cinderella, respectively.

The sequel will pick up from the events of Descendants: The Rise of Red, given how Red and Chloe ended up in a newly transformed Auradon thanks to their time-travel trip.

Thanks to Red and Chloe’s actions in the past, the ending of Descendants: The Rise of Red saw the Queen of Hearts as more benevolent. While it’s a happy ending, it teased that there would be dangerous consequences, as shown in its tie-in, Shuffle of Love: A Descendants Short Story.

According to the given synopsis, it will be set primarily in present-day Wonderland. The project will delve into the warning at the end of the previous movie: “There are consequences when you alter the fabric of time.”

Some characters from Descendants: The Rise of Red will make their return, including Leonardo Nam as Maddox Hatter, Red’s somewhat trusty friend. There will also be new Descendants making their debut in the upcoming sequel.

These include Liamani Segura as Red’s sister, Pink, Brendon Tremblay as Max Hatter, Alexandro Byrd as Luis Madrigal, and Kiara Romero as Hazel Hook. Additional characters will be announced at a later time.

“The love for the Descendants franchise runs deep, and the incredible response to Descendants: The Rise of Red last year proved just how much fans are invested in these characters and their stories,” Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television, said.

“Our next movie will build on that legacy and deliver even more of the magic, music, and heart that make Descendants so special — brought to life by an amazing cast and creative team who continue to elevate this world in new and exciting ways,” Davis added.

Kimmy Gatewood (The Baby-sitter’s Club, Girls5eva) is set to direct, with a script by co-executive producer Tamara Chestna (Sneakerella) and Dan Frey and Ru Sommer (Descendants: The Rise of Red).

Returning to the franchise are executive producers Suzanne Todd and Gary Marsh. Gatewood also serves as a co-producer. Emilio Dosal (Sneakerella) will choreograph the film with brand-new music-and-dance sequences as well.
