Disney Branded Television has announced superstars Brandy and Rita Ora will reprise their roles of Cinderella and the Queen of Hearts, respectively, in the fifth installment of the smash hit Disney Channel Original Movie Descendants franchise, officially titled Descendants: Wicked Wonderland.
Also returning are Paolo Montalban as Prince Charming and Melanie Paxson as Fairy Godmother, making her the only actor to appear in all five Descendants films. Descendants: Wicked Wonderland is currently in production and set to release in 2026 on Disney Channel and Disney+.
With these four iconic stars joining the lineup, casting for the film is complete. The cast also includes Kylie Cantrall as the Queen of Hearts' daughter Red and Malia Baker as Cinderella's daughter Chloe.
Descendants: Wicked Wonderland explores what "happily ever after" really means for Red (Cantrall) and Chloe (Baker) following their time-traveling adventures in the 2024 hit film Descendants: The Rise of Red. Set primarily in present-day Wonderland with a host of new and familiar characters, this sequel delves into the warning at the end of the previous movie: There are consequences when you alter the fabric of time.
Kimmy Gatewood directs the film with a script by co-executive producer Tamara Chestna and Dan Frey and Ru Sommer.
