“You didn’t think that was the end of the story, did you?” Disney Branded Television has officially confirmed that Descendants 5 is in the works for Disney Channel and Disney+, with production starting soon. The new installment will continue the beloved music-and-dance-filled saga, spotlighting the teenage descendants of Disney’s most iconic heroes and villains.
Familiar Faces and New Characters
Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker will reprise their roles as Princesses Red and Chloe—the daughters of the Queen of Hearts and Cinderella. The official title of the movie will be announced later.
According to Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, “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. Our next movie will build on that legacy with even more magic, music, and heart.”
The Magic of Wonderland: Setting the Scene
The story picks up after Descendants: The Rise of Red (2024) and explores what “happily ever after” truly means for Red and Chloe. Set primarily in present-day Wonderland, the film will address the lingering warning from the previous movie: “There are consequences when you alter the fabric of time.”
Returning cast members include Leonardo Nam as Maddox Hatter. New characters joining the franchise are:
- Liamani Segura as Pink, Red’s sister
- Brendon Tremblay as Max Hatter
- Alexandro Byrd as Luis Madrigal
- Kiara Romero as Hazel Hook
Kimmy Gatewood will direct and co-produce the movie. The movie is based on a script by Tamara Chestna, Dan Frey, and Ru Sommer. Executive producers Suzanne Todd and Gary Marsh return, along with Emmy® Award-winning choreographer Emilio Dosal.
