We didn’t think we’d see Brandy as Cinderella again. And yet, that’s not the only reason to be excited about Descendants: The Rise of Red, the fourth movie in the Descendants franchise. But it is a big part of our excitement, we’re not going to lie. The rest is us loving this franchise’s take on fairytales and the next generation.
The movie stars Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker as Red (the daughter of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland) and Chloe Charming (the daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming from Cinderella), respectively. China Anne McClain and Melanie Paxton also star, alongside Brandy, Paolo Montalban, Rita Ora, and Dara Reneé.
Here’s everything we know about the movie, which premieres July 12th on Disney+ and is set to air on August 9th on the Disney Channel.
The synopsis for the movie reads:
Now Headmaster of Auradon Prep, former Villain Kid Uma extends an invite to the school to another VK – Red, the rebellious daughter of the tyrannical Queen of Hearts from Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts has long held a grudge against Auradon, especially against Cinderella, and seizes the opportunity to seek revenge when she drops her daughter off at school. When the Queen of Hearts incites a coup against Auradon, Red must team up with Cinderella’s perfectionist daughter Chloe as they travel back in time to try to undo the traumatic event that set the young Queen of Hearts down her villainous path.
