DESCRIPTION: (from Disney+'s press release, August 2026) "Hidden Heroes: A Descendants Story," a new, music-and-dance-fueled movie expanding the "Descendants" universe, has been greenlit for Disney Channel and Disney+. The brand-new "Descendants" story centers on the journey of the unsung heroes behind Disney's greatest adventures - the sidekicks! The film goes into production next week. Hidden in the center of each fairy tale is a portal to a secret training facility where the descendants of legendary sidekicks are challenged to join the elite ranks of partners to heroes. When a villainous duo comes to Sidekick Academy, a group of fresh recruits must band together - without heroes, without parents - using only their new skills to save the fairytale realm before it's too late.
