If you haven’t already heard, there are new villains to watch for in “Descendants 2” and they are Gil, son of Gaston (Dylan Playfair), Uma, daughter of Ursula (China Anne McClain) and Harry, son of Captain Hook (Thomas Doherty).
“Descendants 2” has wrapped production and will premiere in 2017 on Disney Channel
You’ll also notice from the photo above that each of these characters have signature colors connecting them to their villain parent (i.e. Uma’s teal colors are inspired by Ursula’s eye shadow).
“The Isle of the Lost is an island that houses the most infamous villains, so it seemed natural for a pirate gang including the offspring of Ursula, Captain Hook and Gaston to emerge as we take audiences deeper into the ‘Descendants’ world. As our rich story unfolds, Uma, the daughter of the sea witch Ursula, proves that she’s a force to be reckoned with as the leader of a pirate gang and the new self-proclaimed queen of the Isle,” said “Descendants 2” director, choreographer and executive producer Kenny Ortega.
Ortega added: “She’s flanked here by her devoted henchmen, Harry, Captain Hook’s son, her right-hand man who is always ready for action, and the handsome yet thick-headed Gil, Gaston’s son.”

About “Descendants 2”
The story deepens in the music-driven sequel to the global smash hit “Descendants,” as the teenage sons and daughters of Disney’s most infamous villains — Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay (also known as Villain Kids or VKs) — try to find their place in idyllic Auradon. When the pressure to be royally perfect becomes too much for Mal, she returns to her rotten roots on the Isle of the Lost where her archenemy Uma, the daughter of Ursula, has taken her spot as self-proclaimed queen of the run-down town. Uma, still resentful over not being selected by Ben to go to Auradon Prep with the other Villain Kids, stirs her pirate gang including Captain Hook’s son Harry and Gaston’s son Gil, to break the barrier between the Isle of the Lost and Auradon, and unleash all the villains imprisoned on the Isle, once and for all.
