Descendants: The Rise of Red is almost here! In the film, former VK Uma (China Anne McClain), is now serving as the principal of Auradon Prep. She invites another Villian Kid, Red, the rebellious daughter of the Queen of Hearts from Wonderland, to join the school. When the Queen of Hearts instigates a coup against Auradon, Red and Cinderella’s daughter Chloe embark on a journey back in time to prevent the pivotal event that led Red’s mother towards villainy.

So, I had a chance to sit down with Ruby Rose Turner, Morgan Dudley, and High School Musial: The Musical: The Series’ Dara Renee to discuss the film and what they’re most excited for audiences to see!
