The Descendants franchise follows the magical adventures and evolving lives of the teenage offspring of Disney's most classic villains, alongside the children of legendary royals like King Adam, Queen Belle, and Cinderella. Beginning in an idyllic kingdom where villainous descendants are offered redemption, the movies unfold across successive conflicts involving the Isle of the Lost, Auradon Prep, royal pressures, time travel, and unexpected new villains like Maddox Hatter.
