Production

[edit]

After the film's release, Suzanne Todd confirmed that Disney is "definitely working on and thinking about a follow-up movie," saying that after the end of The Rise of Red and the consequences of time travel, in the sequel "there will be future good and evil turns for sure."[1] After the 2024 Emmy Awards, Cantrall and Baker also hinted that additional films may come in the future.[2]

A fifth film in the Descendants franchise was officially greenlit in February 2025,[3] with Kylie Cantrall, Malia Baker, and Leonardo Nam reprising their roles as Red, Chloe Charming, and Maddox Hatter, respectively. New additions to the cast include Liamani Segura as Pink, Brendon Tremblay as Max Hatter, Alexandro Byrd as Luis Madrigal, and Kiara Romero as Hazel Hook.[3] More new additions include Joel Oulette as Robbie Hood, and Zavien Garrett as Felix Facilier among the new descendants, as well as Ryan McEwen and Dayton Paradis as Squirmy and Squeaky Smee, respectively, who were previously played by Christian Convery and Luke Roessler in Descendants 3.[4] Rita Ora, Brandy, and Melanie Paxson also reprise their roles as Queen of Hearts, Cinderella, and Fairy Godmother, respectively.[5]

Principal photography took place at The Bridge Studios in Vancouver starting in early April 2025,[6][7][8] and it wrapped at the end of May 2025.[9]
