Descendants: The Rise Of Red Trailer Released by Disney+

The Descendants franchise is going to Wonderland — and back in time with the Disney Original movie Descendants: The Rise of Red.

The latest trailer, which introduces former Villian Kid (VK) Uma (China Anne McClain) as Auradon Prep’s new principal, debuted on Good Morning America. It appears that Uma performs her iconic song “What’s My Name” from 2017’s Descendants 2 to introduce herself to the student body.

Then, much to Fairy Godmother’s (Melanie Paxson) dismay, Uma declares that the school will be open to all the kingdoms, inviting Princess Red from Wonderland. Descendants: The Rise of Red premieres on Friday, July 12, exclusively on Disney+, with a special encore on Friday, August 9 at 8/7c on Disney Channel. 

Kylie Cantrall stars as Red, the Queen of Hearts’ rebellious daughter, who works with Cinderella’s daughter Chloe (Malia Baker) and travels “back in time to undo the traumatic event that set Red’s mother down her villainous path,” per Descendants: The Rise of Red‘s synopsis.

The latest installment also stars Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts who stages a coup to take over Auradon. Descendants: The Rise of Red will reunite Brandy and Paolo Montalban as they reprise their roles from 1997’s Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella.

Additionally, the new Descendants movie stars Jeremy Swift as Merlin, Ruby Rose Turner as Bridget, Morgan Dudley as Ella, Leonardo Nam as Maddox Hatter, Joshua Colley as Hook, and Peder Lindell as Morgey.

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series‘ Dara Reneé portrays Ursula’s younger sister, Uliana, who is a key figure in Bridget’s life at the Merlin Academy. 

While the Descendants: The Rise of Red trailer already features a reprise of the Descendants 2 track, the movie will also include a reprise of “So This Is Love” from the animated classic Cinderella. Moreover, the Descendants movie will feature seven new original songs. 

The score for Descendants: The Rise of Red is by Torin Borrowdale, and Ashley Wallen choreographed the musical numbers. The Disney Original Movie’s soundtrack will be released on July 12 and is now available for preorder and pre-add.

Dan Frey and Russell Sommer wrote the movie, with Jennifer Phang directing.

Suzanne Todd and Gary Marsh serve as executive producers alongside co-executive producers Mahita P. Simpson and Phang and producer Wendy S. Williams. Production design is by Mark Hofeling, editing is by Katie Ennis, costume design is by Julia Caston and Emilio Sosa, and Declan Quinn is the director of photography.
