Take a First Look at Disney’s Descendants 2 Movie

The kids are back in a first look at Disney’s Descendants 2 movie, premiering in 2017

Disney Channel has just released a first look at the cast of their upcoming Descendants 2 movie, the sequel to the popular telefilm that will premiere in 2017. Check it out in full in the gallery viewer below!

Emmy Award-winning director Kenny Ortega (Descendants, the High School Musical franchise) returns as director, executive producer and choreographer of the Descendants 2 movie.

Dove Cameron (Liv and Maddie), Cameron Boyce (Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything, Jessie), Booboo Stewart (X-Men Days of Future Past), Sofia Carson (Adventures in Babysitting) and Mitchell Hope are reprising their starring roles as Mal, Carlos, Jay, Evie and King Ben, respectively. China Anne McClain (A.N.T. Farm) will join the cast as Uma, the daughter of Ursula from The Little Mermaid. 

The story deepens in the music-driven sequel to the global smash hit as the teenage sons and daughters of Disney‘s most infamous villains — Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay (also known as Villain Kids or VKs) — try to find their place in idyllic Auradon. When the pressure to be royally perfect becomes too much for Mal, she returns to her rotten roots on the Isle of the Lost where her archenemy Uma, the daughter of Ursula, has taken her spot as self-proclaimed queen of the run-down town.  Uma, still resentful over not being selected by Ben to go to Auradon Prep with the other Villain Kids, stirs her pirate gang including Captain Hook’s son Harry and Gaston’s son Gil, to break the barrier between the Isle of the Lost and Auradon, and unleash all the villains imprisoned on the Isle, once and for all.

Writers Sara Parriott and Josann McGibbon (The Starter Wife, Runaway Bride), who won a 2016 Writers Guild Award for Descendants, wrote the new Descendants 2 movie and will also executive-produce with Wendy Japhet (Descendants, An Education, The Italian Job). Descendants costume designer Kara Saun (Project Runway) and production designer Mark Hofeling (Teen Beach Movie, High School Musical) are also signed on for the sequel. Tony Testa (The Rocky Horror Picture Show, This Is It) joins the creative team as choreographer with Ortega, and Shawn Williamson (Adventures in Babysitting) as producer.
