The latest entry in Disney's villain kids franchise, Descendants: The Rise of Red, has released a poster and teaser for the new spinoff in the franchise, along with the release date. Disney has revealed that the film will premiere on Friday, July 12, 2024, on Disney+ exclusively. Additionally, the film will debut on Disney Channel on Friday, August 9, 2024.
The iconic franchise started in 2015, focusing on teenage children of four Disney villains. It also acted as a continuation of the classic Disney animated films. However, the franchise branched further to include more teenage progeny of the heroes and villains from Disney's stacked world. Descendants: The Rise of Red will be the fourth installment in the franchise, with all of the previous films having worked very well in the past.
The teaser gives a glimpse of the two main protagonists of the movie, Red (played by Kylie Cantrall), the rebellious daughter of Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts, and Chloe (played by Malia Baker), the perfect daughter of the perfect Cinderella. According to reports, some of the characters from the previous movies will also reprise their respective roles in Descendants: The Rise of Red.
