EXCLUSIVE: More Descendants have been added to the fifth movie in the Descendants franchise for Disney Channel and Disney+. Joel Oulette (Trickster), Zavien Garrett (The Flash), Ryan McEwen (Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies) and Dayton Paradis have been cast in the film, which is slated to begin production shortly.

As Deadline reported last week, Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker will reprise their roles as Princesses Red and Chloe, the daughters of the Queen of Hearts and Cinderella, respectively, in the new installment of the musical fantasy movie franchise about the teenage progeny of Disney’s most iconic characters and villains.

Oulette will be playing Robbie Hood, the son of Robin Hood who may be falling more into the iconic characters than villains category. Garrett will be Felix Facilier, the son of Dr. Facilier from Disney’s The Princess and The Frog, McEwen and Paradis will play the twin sons of Mr. Smee from Peter Pan, Squirmy Smee and Squeaky Smee, respectively.

Previously announced new descendants to the Disney Branded Television franchise include Liamani Segura as Red’s sister Pink; Brendon Tremblay as Maddox Hatter’s son, Max Hatter; Alexandro Byrd as Luisa Madrigal’s son Luis Madrigal; and Kiara Romero as Captain Hook’s daughter Hazel Hook.

Kimmy Gatewood is directing from a script by co-executive producer Tamara Chestna and Dan Frey and Ru Sommer. Returning to the franchise are executive producers Suzanne Todd and Gary Marsh. Gatewood also serves as co-producer. Emmy-winning choreographer Emilio Dosal has come on board for Descendants 5.
