How ‘Descendants: The Rise of Red’ Wrote the Original VKs Out of This Story

Mal, Evie and Jay are off on their own adventures now

DESCENDANTS 3 – This highly anticipated third installment in the global hit Disney Channel Original Movie franchise continues the contemporary saga of good versus evil as the teenage daughters and sons of Disney's most infamous villains-Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay (also known as the villain kids or VKs)-return to the Isle of the Lost to recruit a new batch of villainous offspring to join them at Auradon Prep. When a barrier breach jeopardizes the safety of Auradon during their departure off the Isle, Mal resolves to permanently close the barrier, fearing that nemeses Uma and Hades will wreak vengeance on the kingdom. Despite her decision, an unfathomable dark force threatens the people of Auradon and it's up to Mal and the VKs to save everyone in their most epic battle yet. "Descendants 3" is set to premiere on FRIDAY, AUG. 2 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW.

“Descendants: The Rise of Red” is the fourth installment of Disney’s “Descendants” movie series, and you will see some familiar faces — but not the ones you’re hoping for. Mal, Evie and Jay aren’t in this movie, but don’t worry, their absence is explained in the story.

The new movie, now streaming on Disney+, once again takes place at Auradon Prep, but this time, it’s under the instruction of Principal Uma. China Anne McClain returns as the (mostly) reformed daughter of Ursula, and as principal, she wants to make sure the school is open to kids from every kingdom — even Wonderland.
