The latest installment of the Descendants franchise is Descendants 4 but will it be coming out on Netflix? The Descendants franchise is a musical fantasy series that includes three films, spin-off television specials, short films, and more. The Descendants follows the children of classic Disney villains, primarily featuring the sons and daughters of Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, Jafar, and the Evil Queen. 20 years after Beauty and the Beast, Belle and the Beast rule over a unified Disney universe that has exiled all the villains to a magically contained “Isle of the Lost”.
In the first Descendants, Belle and the Beast agree to bring four children from the island to their kingdom, and the children are torn between living their new life and obeying their parents’ demands that they dismantle the Kingdom. Descendants 3 premiered in 2019 and tied up the story of the Descendants trilogy. Descendants 4, titled Descendants: The Rise of Red, serves as a spinoff to those films, set in the same Kingdom of Auradon but now featuring a new story with original characters.
