In 1997, actress and singer Brandy caused a stir with her appearance as the glass slipper princess in Cinderella by Rodger & Hammersteinand twenty-five years later, she reprized the role to join the cast of The pocket watch. The new project for Disney+ is a sequel to the descent trilogy featuring a mix of returning characters like Fairy Godmother (Melanie Paxson) and Uma (ChinaAnne McClain), as well as new faces, including Rita Ora as the queen of hearts.
The main characters from the original films, Mal (Dove Cameron), Eva (Sophie Carson), Jay (Bobboo Stewart), and Carlos (Cameron Boyce), will not come back. Cameron Boyce sadly passed away in 2019 after an epileptic seizure, and his castmates wouldn’t have felt good returning for the fourth episode without him.
