When is Descendants 4 on TV?

However, the death of one of the film franchise's stars, Cameron Boyce, has cast doubt over the possibility of another instalment in the film series.

Will there be a fourth movie? Here's everything you need to know about Descendants 4.

Is there going to be a Descendants 4?

Descendants 3 proved popular with fans, following the teenagers as they returned to the Isle of the Lost, seeking out more villainous offspring to join them at Auradon Prep school.

Previous films have ended with a character turning to the camera to say, "You didn't think this was the end of the story, did you?" However, Descendants 3 did not - suggesting that it may truly be the end for the franchise.

The third film also marked Cameron Boyce's final appearance in his role Carlos, son of Cruella de Vil. He died on 6th July 2019 due to epilepsy complications, and Descendants 3 was dedicated to his memory.
