‘Descendants 4’ Is on Its Way! Here’s Everything We Know
Get ready to buy your kid’s next Halloween costume! Descendants 4: The Rise of Red is in the works.
The Descendants franchise has proven to be one of Disney’s most successful straight-to-streaming film series. The series focuses on the children of the villains in Disney animated movies, who live as prisoners in the slums of the Isle of the Lost. However, the descendants have adventures in the neighboring kingdom of Auradon, where the children of Disney heroes live. The series features numerous redemption arcs, villainous turns, intricate costumes, and dance numbers.
Each Descendants film features a slightly different cast of villains and heroes, with a few recurring faces: Mal (Dove Cameron), daughter of Maleficent; Ben (Mitchell Hope), son of Belle and the Beast; Evie (Sofia Carson), daughter of the Evil Queen; Jay (Booboo Stewart), son of Jafar; and Carlos (Cameron Boyce), son of Cruella De Vil.
Will they return in Descendants: The Rise of Red? What’s the movie about, anyway? Here’s what we know.
Descendants 4 plot
Keeping with Descendants tradition, Descendants 4 will introduce characters from a classic Disney movie: this time, Alice in Wonderland. According to Deadline, the plot will focus on Red and Chloe, the children of the Queen of Hearts and Cinderella, respectively. Together, they must travel back in time to prevent a coup in Auradon. Deadline also reports that “a new royal baby” will factor into the plot.
