Disney+ has given the green light to “The Pocketwatch,” a music-and-dance heavy movie sequel to their hit “Descendants” franchise.
The three main films to date unfold in a world of two key lands – the idyllic Auradon and ragtag Isle of the Lost – while the new one also travels to the hostile, unincorporated, magical and mysterious territory of Wonderland.
Each film chronicles the lives of the teenage children of four Disney villains who move to Auradon at the request of the teenage son of Queen Belle and King Beast.
Seven new songs and Disney classic songs will advance the story of “The Pocketwatch” which introduces two new characters. Red is the whip-smart and rebellious teen daughter of the Queen of Hearts. Chloe is the perfectionist and athletic daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming (Cinderella).
In order to prevent an impending coup in Auradon – one that looms during the celebration of a new royal baby – Red must join forces with Chloe to travel back in time using the White Rabbit’s pocket watch to stop an event that would lead to grave consequences.
Jennifer Phang (“Advantageous”) is set to direct and co-executive produce from a script by Dan Frey and Russell Sommer (“Magic: The Gathering”). Filming is slated to begin this Fall.
