Disney+ today released a new teaser for Descendants: The Rise of Red (below), the next installment in the mega-hit Descendants franchise. The music-driven Disney Original movie will stream Friday, July 12th, exclusively on Disney+, followed by a special encore Friday, August 9th, at 8:00 p.m. EDT/PDT on Disney Channel.
The latest teaser introduces Kylie Cantrall (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) as Red, princess of the hostile kingdom of Wonderland and Auradon’s newest Villain Kid (aka VK), who is caught “red-handed” by Malia Baker (The Baby-Sitters Club), who plays Chloe, the daughter of Cinderella and King Charming.
Descendants: The Rise of Red follows Red, the rebellious daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe, Cinderella’s perfectionist daughter. When the tyrannical Queen of Hearts incites a coup against Auradon, polar opposites Red and Chloe must join forces and travel back in time to undo the traumatic event that set Red’s mother down her villainous path.
In addition to Cantrall and Baker, the film stars a new ensemble of VKs and legacy characters, including Brandy as Cinderella, Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts, Dara Reneé (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) as Uliana, Ruby Rose Turner (Coop and Cami Ask the World) as Bridget/Young Queen of Hearts, Morgan Dudley (A Tourist’s Guide to Love) as Ella/Young Cinderella, Joshua Colley (Senior Year) as Young Hook, Peder Lindell (Hidden Falls) as Morgie, Grace Narducci (My Missing Sister) as Fay/Young Fairy Godmother, Jeremy Swift (Ted Lasso) as Principal Merlin, Paolo Montalban (Cinderella) as King Charming, and Leonardo Nam (Westworld) as Maddox Hatter.
China Anne McClain is back as fan-favorite Uma and the new principal at Auradon Prep. Melanie Paxson also reprises her role as Fairy Godmother.
Descendants: The Rise of Red is executive produced by Suzanne Todd (Noelle) and Gary Marsh. The film is directed by Jennifer Phang (Foundation), with a script from Dan Frey and Russell Sommer, choreographed by Ashley Wallen (The Greatest Showman), with a score by Torin Borrowdale (Locke & Key).
