The movie, featuring the teenage offspring of classic Disney characters, is set to debut on Disney+ on July 12, followed by a special airing on Disney Channel on August 9.
The teaser gives fans a glimpse into the world of “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” introducing Kylie Cantrall as Red, the spirited princess hailing from the enigmatic kingdom of Wonderland.

Adding to the excitement are industry veterans Brandy and Paolo Montalban, reprising their roles as Cinderella and King Charming respectively, with Brandy’s return marking a nostalgic nod to fans of the beloved 1997 television special.
In this latest installment, former Villain Kid Uma, now headmaster of Auradon Prep, 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, and especially 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 and travel back in time to try to undo the traumatic event that set Red’s mother down her villainous path.
