The Last Movie:

• The previous film in the Descendants franchise serves as the precursor to this new entry, despite being the fourth and fifth in the series overall.
• Originally debuted in 2024, Descendants: The Rise of Red launched a new chapter with a new generation of characters - namely Red (Cantrall) and Chloe (Baker), who use a magical pocket watch to travel back in time as the Queen of Hearts threatens Auradon.
• Their goal was to change a key event from the past that may have turned the Queen of Hearts into a villain, exploring the idea of whether or not people's futures can be changed by understanding their past.
• That time-travel premise also sets up the story for Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, as a new villain seemingly gets his hands on the pocketwatch.
