Disney Announces 'Descendants: Wicked Wonderland' – Everything We Know So Far

Disney has announced the title for the new Descendants movie, the fifth installment in the franchise. Disney announced today the fifth movie’s title: Descendants: Wicked Wonderland. 

📺 A Fan Favorite Franchise

Way back when in summer 2015, Disney released a tv movie musical directed by Kenny Ortega about the children of our favorite Disney characters - villains, heroes, Princesses and Princes alike. Little did Disney realize the phenomenon that they had just created with Descendants. 

The original story followed four villains kids, Mal (Dove Cameron), daughter of Maleficent, Carlos (Cameron Boyce) son of Cruella de Vil, Jay (Booboo Stewart) son of Jafar and Evie (Sofia Carson) daughter of the Evil Queen (Snow White) as they travel to Auradon and go to school with the children of Princesses and Princes. 

Fast forward to the last film and our main cast have moved on from the franchise. Cameron Boyce sadly passed away in 2019 due to a medical condition. 

🎬 New Teens Move the Franchise Forward

With a set of new teens, villains and heroes alike, the franchise has shifted with Descendants: The Rise of Red following the Queen of Hearts (Rita Ora) daughter Princess Red (Kylie Cantrall) and her bestie Chloe (Malia Baker) daughter of Cinderella (Brandy) and Prince Charming (Paolo Montalban) as they face new challenges with a group of new kids.

With The Rise of Red, 90s kids got a treat with Brandy and Paolo Montalban returning to the franchise. Our very own founder, Je-Ree was able to talk to Prince Charming himself about the role while she was with SpoilerTV. Check out that interview here:

🔮 What is the tea on Descendants: Wicked Wonderland?

Red and Chloe will immediately face the aftermath of the events of The Rise of Red and that’s all we know as Disney has not released any further plot details. Uma did say at the end that there are consequences when you mess with time, so only time will tell what is in store for Red and Chloe. No release date or trailer have been released as of yet.
