“Descendants” is going “deeper down the rabbit hole” with a fifth movie, Disney Branded Television announced Tuesday.
Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker will reprise their roles as Princess Red and Princess Chloe, the daughters of the Queen of Hearts and Cinderella, respectively. The film, which will launch on Disney Channel and Disney+, is set to enter production soon. An official title will be unveiled later on.
“Descendants 5” picks up shortly after the events of 2024’s “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” as the new chapter will explore what “happily ever after” is really like for Red and Chloe after they return from their time-traveling adventures. The new movie is set in present-day Wonderland and adds a handful of new “Alice in Wonderland” characters: Liamani Segura as Red’s sister Pink, Brendon Tremblay as Max Hatter, Alexandro Byrd as Luis Madrigal and Kiara Romero as Hazel Hook. Leonardo Nam returns as Maddox Hatter, and additional characters will be revealed as casting unfolds.
Kimmy Gatewood (“The Babysitter’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 co-producer. Emmy winner Emilio Dosal (“Wicked,” “Sneakerella”) will serve as choreographer, bringing the brand-new music-and-dance sequences to life.
“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,” said Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television. “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.”
