TVLine Items: Descendants Teaser, Scott Wolf Joins Fox Drama and More
That’s Headmaster Uma to you. Disney+ has released the first official teaser for Descendants: The Rise of Red, which includes a revealing voiceover courtesy of returning star China Anne McClain.
Ursula’s daughter is now calling the shots at Aurodon Prep, where her first order of business is to enroll Red, the rebellious daughter of Wonderland’s merciless Queen of Hearts. But when Red’s mother uses the opportunity to seize control of the kingdom, Red must team up with Cinderella’s daughter Chloe to turn back time and undo the event that made the queen so evil in the first place.
Kylie Cantrell stars as Red, with Malia Baker as Chloe and Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts. The ensemble cast also includes Brandy Norwood as Cinderella and Paolo Montalban as King Charming, reprising their roles from Disney’s 1997 production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella.
Descendants: The Rise of Red is slated to premiere sometime this summer.
