Descendants: Wicked World (also abbreviated simply as Wicked World[2]) is a computer-animated short-form series based on the Disney Channel Original Movie Descendants. It premiered on September 18, 2015 on the Disney Channel and its digital platforms, including WATCH Disney Channel. The series will feature new shorts in July 15, 2016.

The series picks up after the film and introduces new characters. Providing the voices of the animated characters are Dove Cameron as Mal, Sofia Carson as Evie, Cameron Boyce as Carlos, Booboo Stewart as Jay, Mitchell Hope as Ben, Brenna D'Amico as Jane, Sarah Jeffery as Audrey, Dianne Doan as Lonnie, China Anne McClain as Freddie, Jennifer Veal as Ally, and Myrna Velasco as CJ.

On July 13, 2016, it was announced the series was renewed for a second season and that Bradley Steven Perry would be added to the cast as Zevon, the son of Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove, and Lauryn McClain would take over voicing Freddie from her sister China Anne McClain who was cast as Ursula's daughter Uma in the upcoming television film sequel.[3] The series returned for the second season in October 21, 2016.

Plot

After the coronation of Prince Ben, the villain kids Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos use their one shot at being good while their dreadful and villainous parents are still roaming the Isle of the Lost. The short series introduces new characters from the Isle of the Lost and Auradon.

Characters

Production

The production of the series was announced right after the film Descendants finished airing on Disney Channel. Former Phineas and Ferb storyboard artist Aliki Theofilopoulos Grafft announced on Twitter that she was directing the series, with Jenni Cook as producer, and that the original cast would be reprising their roles. Each episode of the series is going to be under five minutes long, and in January 2016 a DVD titled Descendants: Wicked World & More released and had every short from season one, along with the "Rotten To The Choreography" and the "Set It Off" specials. The episodes are about two minutes long.
