The first season of "Descendants: Wicked World," which followed fan-favorite "Descendants" characters Mal, Evie, Carlos, Jay as they tried to fit in at Auradon Prep, will culminate this FRIDAY, JULY 15 (8:00-8:30 p.m. EDT) with "Neon Lights Ball," a half-hour special that will feature six back-to-back episodes and introduce CJ, the daughter of Captain Hook. During "Neon Lights Ball," fans will be given a taste of the mystery and excitement that will fuel the highly anticipated sequel movie "Descendants 2," which will begin production in the coming months. Additionally, viewers can test their "Descendants" knowledge with Disney Channel Live Play, an interactive viewing experience featuring real-time trivia and polls via the Disney Channel app on iOS devices during the east and west coast telecasts.

The stars of "Descendants" will continue to provide the voices for their respective animated characters in the second season including Dove Cameron as Mal, Sofia Carson as Evie, Cameron Boyce as Carlos, Booboo Stewart as Jay, Mitchell Hope as Ben, Brenna D'Amico as Jane, Sarah Jeffery as Audrey and Dianne Doan as Lonnie. Additional recurring characters in "Descendants: Wicked World" are Ally, daughter of Alice in Wonderland (voiced by Jennifer Veal); Jordan, daughter of Genie from "Aladdin" (voiced by Ursula Taherian) and CJ, daughter of Captain Hook (voiced by Myrna Velasco).

"Descendants Wicked World" season two is executive-produced by Carin Davis ("My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic") and Eric Fogel ("Celebrity Deathmatch"). Fogel also serves as director on the series. It is written by Scott Peterson ("Phineas and Ferb").

"Descendants" was the No. 1 cable television movie of 2015 and the fifth highest-rated original movie ever on U.S. cable TV in Total Viewers. It is also the No. 1 Disney Channel Original Movie ever among kids in France, Netherlands, Belgium (south), Portugal, South Africa and Spain.
