Premiere dates are here! Or should we say “date”?!
Disney Channel has revealed the premiere date for the upcoming Descendants: The Royal Wedding special, as well as the premiere of the new series Disney’s Magic Bake-Off, which are happening on the same night.
The 27-year-old singer and actress will reprise her role as Evie in the animated special, along with most of her co-stars.
In a new interview with the Zach Sang Show, Sofia shared how hard it was, even though it’s just voice recording, to do it without her late co-star Cameron Boyce.
“I mean, you guys know how much I adore Descendants and Evie, she changed my life forever,” Sofia said. “This is an animation, like an animated special. There was an animated series for Descendants called Wicked World, and um, Disney wanted to do kind of one last chapter and it’s the wedding special.”

The late Cameron Boyce‘s character Carlos’ absence will be acknowledged in the storyline and Cameron‘s memory will be honored in the telecast.
“Descendants introduced a fantasy world of stories and characters, anchored in Disney mythology. For the past six years, it captivated young viewers and grew to become among Disney Channel’s biggest entertainment franchises ever.,” Disney Channel president Gary Marsh said in a statement. “It had the benefit of immensely talented stars, who we now welcome back for this animated ‘Royal Wedding’ special that will bridge the audience to what we hope will be a new chapter of compelling Descendants stories and characters yet to come.”

Sofia Carson revealed that there was almost a chance that she wasn’t in the Descendants movies!
In a new interview on Chicks In The Office, the 27-year-old Songbird actress shared that after doing a guest star spot on Austin & Ally, she had an audition for another Disney Channel series, and if she got that role, she couldn’t have been able to make it to her audition for Descendants.
“That opened the door to everything, and it actually happened shortly after Austin & Ally, because I remember I shot Austin & Ally over the summer, and I think my first audition for Descendants was that fall,” Sofia said. “Disney Channel, the casting world had already kind of gotten to know me a little bit, but when I was up for my first role for Descendants, I didn’t get it.
“It was not until I think February, I was up for a role onLiv and Maddie, another guest starring role, and I got sick,” she continued. “And for some reason, I couldn’t do the guest starring role, and that was the reason I was able to go to the Descendants callback.”
“It was this whole weird thing that have I gotten the Liv and Maddie role, I wouldn’t have been able to be cast as Evie.”
We are so glad that Sofia was able to make her Descendants callback!!
