Disney+ announced today that they have greenlit a new musical set in the expanded world of The Descendants, The Pocketwatch. Jennifer Phang is set to direct and co-executive produce the script written by Dan Frey and Russell Sommer. This time, sights are set on Wonderland and the teen daughter (appropriately named Red) of The Queen of Hearts.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The expansive new story introduces “Red,” the whip-smart and rebellious teenage daughter of the Queen of Hearts (“Alice in Wonderland”) and “Chloe,” the perfectionist and athletic daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming (“Cinderella”). In order to prevent an impending coup in Auradon – one that looms during the celebration of a new royal baby –, Red must join forces with Chloe to travel in back in time, via the White Rabbit’s pocket watch, to stop an event that would lead to grave consequences.
