A teaser trailer unveiled in May shows Chloe trying to befriend her new roommate, Red but it does not work out.

What is the Descendants franchise about?

It all started with 2015’s Descendants where Belle and the Beast’s son, Ben takes over the throne as the ruler of Auradon, though he is not ready. In this Disney universe, villains and their families are sent to exile in the magicless Isle of the Lost to prevent them from using their powers for their evil paths. 

But Ben deems it unfair that even the villains’ children suffer for their parents’ deeds. Thus, he opens the door to Auradon, offering the chance of redemption. This sets off a timeless battle of the heroes and villains in the Descendants universe.
