What is ‘Descendants’ about?
“Descendants” follows the offspring of some of the most evil villains in the history of Disney. The franchise whisks viewers to the idyllic land of Auradon, where the benevolent future King Ben decrees that the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil, and Jafar — named Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay respectively — would be allowed to leave the Isle of the Lost and redeem themselves as functional members of society. As the series goes along, the audience is introduced to more villainous offspring who want the chance to prove themselves.
Who stars in ‘Descendants’?
“Descendants” stars Dove Cameron as Mal, Cameron Boyce as Carlos de Vil, Sofia Carson as Evie, Booboo Stewart as Jay, and Mitchell Hope as Ben. Additional cast includes Melanie Paxson as Fairy Godmother/Fay, Breanna D’Amico as Jane, Sarah Jeffery as Audrey, Zachary Gibson, Jedidiah Goodacre as Cha Charming, Dianne Doan as Lonnie, Dan Payne as King Beast, Keegan Connor Tracy as Queen Belle, Kristin Chenoweth as Maleficent, Wendy Raquel Robinson as Cruella de Vil, Maz Jobrani as Jafar, and Kathy Najimy as the Evil Queen.

Are more ‘Descendants’ movies coming to Disney+?
Yes! Disney+ will welcome the new movie “Descendants: Wicked Wonderland” in 2026. There are few plot details so far, but it will see the return of Kylie Cantrall as Red, daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and will see new characters join the “Descendants” universe as well — many from “Alice in Wonderland.”
Can you stream “Descendants” for free?
Unless you can catch a “Descendants” title on the Disney Channel, the only way to stream the franchise is with a subscription to Disney+. This service doesn’t have a free trial for new or returning customers, so the cheapest way to watch is with a subscription to the ad-supported Disney+ Basic plan for $10 per month. The upshot is that for just $1 more, you can get a Hulu subscription tacked onto your subscription as well.
