Disney+ has released a new teaser trailer and poster for “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” as well as revealing an airdate for the film.
The Details
“Descendants: The Rise of Red,” a music-driven Disney Original movie, is the next installment in the mega-hit “Descendants” franchises
It starts streaming Friday, July 12, exclusively on Disney+, followed by a special encore airing on Friday, Aug. 9, at 8pm. EDT/PDT on Disney Channel.
The Film
“Descendants: The Rise of Red” follows Red (Kylie Cantrall), the rebellious daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe (Malia Baker), Cinderella’s perfectionist daughter.
When the tyrannical Queen of Hearts incites a coup against Auradon, polar opposites Red and Chloe must join forces and travel back in time to undo the traumatic event that set Red’s mother down her villainous path.
In addition to Cantrall and Baker, the film stars a new ensemble of VKs (Villain Kids) and legacy characters, including Brandy as Cinderella, Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts, Dara Reneé as Uliana, Ruby Rose Turner as Bridget/Young Queen of Hearts, Morgan Dudley as Ella/Young Cinderella, Joshua Colley as Young Hook, Peder Lindell as Morgie, Grace Narducci as Fay/Young Fairy Godmother, Jeremy Swift as Principal Merlin, Paolo Montalban as King Charming, and Leonardo Nam as Maddox Hatter.
China Anne McClain is back as fan-favorite Uma and the new principal at Auradon Prep. Melanie Paxson also reprises her role as Fairy Godmother.
This film marks a reunion for Brandy and Montalban, who are once again playing the characters of Cinderella and King Charming, from the 1997 TV movie, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.”
Jennifer Phang (“The Flight Attendant”) is the director and co-executive producer, and the script was written by Dan Frey and Russell Sommer (“Magic: The Gathering”). Returning to the franchise is production designer Mark Hofeling. Suzanne Todd and Gary Marsh are executive producers and the casting directors are Alexis Frank Koczara and Christine Smith Shevchenko.
True to the “Descendants” tradition of music-driven stories, this fourth installment features seven new original songs, two reprises, and a cover of “So This Is Love” from the classic animated “Cinderella” film.
The “Descendants: The Rise of Red Original Soundtrack” is set for release on July 12 from Walt Disney Records.
