Los Angeles, CA – Disney Channel's most anticipated fourth film of Disney
Descendants film series,
Descendants: The Rise Of Red, is coming to Disney+ this summer! The film, starring Rita Ora, Paolo Montalban, Brandy Norwood, Kylie Cantrall, Malia Baker and Ruby Rose Turner will hit Disney+ worldwide on July 12, 2024, and will be also aired on Disney Channel the following month in August (although this will be the first Descendants film not being labeled as a Disney Channel Original Movie [DCOM]). Directed by Jennifer Phang, this will be the first film in the Descendants film series not to be directed by Kenny Ortega, who previously directed the first three
Descendants films. Stars from the previous films such as Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson, Sarah Jeffery, Brenna d'Amico, Anna Cathcart, Booboo Stewart, Mitchell Hope, Jedidiah Goodacre, Dylan Playfair and Thomas Doherty did not return for this fourth film. Melanie Paxson returns to reprise her role as Fairy Godmother (her younger counter-part being played by Grace Narducci), while China Anne McClain who played Uma (daughter of Ursula) since the 2nd film also returned to this fourth film as well, with Dara Renee playing Uma's aunt Ulyana who is Ursula's sister.
The film will follow the life of new villain kids (VKs) Red (daughter of Queen Of Hearts) and Chloe Charming (daughter of King Charming and sister to Chad) as they team up to travel in time with the
White Rabbit's pocketwatch and prevent a catastrophic coup on Auradon.
