The official announcement teaser showed Mal approaching a blue flame in an enchanted forest before saying “Dad?” giving fans a huge clue as to what the next chapter of the story would entail.
Most recently, Descendants 3 announced Jadah Marie and Jamal Sims as The Princess & the Frog’s Dr. Facilier and his daughter. Marie, Sims, and Jackson all join a returning cast of Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Sofia Carson, Booboo Stewart, China Anne McClain, Mitchell Hope, Thomas Doherty, Dylan Playfair, and Anna Cathcart who are all reprising their roles from the first two films.
Descendants 3 is expected to premiere in 2019.
Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
