Hold onto your glass slippers, because Brandy is back as Cinderella! And this time, she’s teaming up with none other than Rita Ora’s fabulously fierce Queen of Hearts in the wild and wacky trailer for “Descendants: The Rise of Red!”
Yes, you heard that right. The 45-year-old musical queen Brandy, who wowed us all in the 1997 classic Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, is stepping back into those iconic shoes. And guess what? Prince Charming, played by the eternally charming Paolo Montalban, is right by her side, ready to sweep us off our feet all over again in this brand-new Disney musical extravaganza.
Today (May 23), the first trailer dropped, giving us a tantalizing taste of the magical mayhem that’s headed our way this summer.
In this uproarious preview, Rita Ora’s Queen of Hearts throws the mother of all tantrums and takes over Auradon. This royal shake-up sends her daughter Red (played by the spunky Kylie Cantrall) on a time-bending adventure with Cinderella’s daughter Chloe (the delightful Malia Baker). Their mission? To save the Queen from diving headfirst into the deep end of villainy.
But wait, there’s more! This star-studded cast also includes the dazzling China Anne McClain, the ever-so-suave Jeremy Swift, the sensational Dara Reneé, the radiant Ruby Rose Turner, the magnificent Morgan Dudley, the marvelous Melanie Paxson, the legendary Leonardo Nam, the jubilant Joshua Colley, and the perfectly princely Peder Lindell.
Mark your calendars and get ready to sing your heart out because “Descendants: The Rise of Red” will be twinkling on Disney+ starting July 12. And for those who love a good TV event, don’t miss its debut on Disney Channel on August 9 at 9pm ET. Dive into the trailer below and let the fairy tale frenzy begin!
