Disney+ Drops Teaser Trailer for ‘Descendants: Wicked Wonderland’

Disney+ has dropped a new teaser trailer for Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, the fifth installment in the music-and-dance-driven “Descendants” franchise.

The teaser debuted ahead of the new “Descendants/Zombies Worlds Collide: Concert Special,” which starts streaming Friday on Disney+.

Descendants: Wicked Wonderland will premiere on Disney+ and Disney Channel this summer. The film explores what “happily ever after” really means for Red (Kylie Cantrall) and Chloe (Malia Baker) following their time-traveling adventures in the 2024 film Descendants: The Rise of Red. Set primarily in present-day Wonderland with both new and familiar characters, the new film delves into the warning from the previous movie: There are consequences when you alter the fabric of time.

In the first look, Red and Chloe hide their most dangerous secret — the time-traveling pocket watch — inside the Royal Vault, unaware that a new threat is emerging. Lurking in the shadows is Maddox Hatter, now a ruthless villain determined to uncover the pocket watch’s whereabouts to bend time — and the fate of Wonderland — to his will.

Reprising their roles are Kylie Cantrall (Red), Malia Baker (Chloe), Leonardo Nam (Maddox Hatter), Melanie Paxson (Fairy Godmother), Brandy (Cinderella), Paolo Montalban  (King Charming) and Rita Ora (the Queen of Hearts). New to the cast are Liamani Segura (Pink), Alexandro Byrd (Luis Madrigal), Brendon Tremblay (Max Hatter), Kiara Romero (Hazel Hook), Joel Oulette (Robbie Hood), Zavien Garrett (Felix Facilier), Ryan McEwen (Squirmy Smee) and Dayton Paradis (Squeaky Smee).

Descendants: Wicked Wonderland was directed by Kimmy Gatewood (“Muppets Mayhem”) from a script by co-executive producer Tamara Chestna (“Sneakerella”) and Dan Frey and Ru Sommer (Descendants: The Rise of Red). Emmy Award-winning choreographer Emilio Dosal (“Wicked,” “Sneakerella”) has created new music-and-dance sequences for the film.

Since the premiere of Descendants in 2015, the franchise amassed nearly 1 billion hours of viewing across linear and streaming in the United States, with the first three films the most-watched cable movies of their respective release years.

The “Descendants/Zombies Worlds Collide: Concert Special” and previous “Descendants” films are now streaming on Disney+ and can be found in the “Descendants” Collection.
