‘Descendants 3’: Watch Movies 1 And 2 Online, On TV Before 2019 Sequel

Disney Channel’s “Descendants” franchise, which follows the adventures of the children of classic Disney villains and heroes, picks up with chapter three of the story on Friday.

As the series kicked off with the first film in 2015 and continued with the second flick in 2017, fans might not remember everything that happened in the movies. That’s why it might be a good idea to rewatch “Descendants” and “Descendants 2” before watching the new, 2019 sequel tomorrow night.

Luckily, that task shouldn’t be too difficult to complete.

While neither movie is streaming on Netflix or Hulu, there are a bunch of other places to watch them online or on TV before “Descendants 3” premieres.

Keep reading to find out how to watch the first two “Descendants” movies online, as well as the TV listings (all times in EDT) for them tonight and tomorrow, so you can be all caught up (or refreshed) before the third film arrives. Plus, get a mini refresher right now with the synopsis for each flick (via Disney).
