Trivia
- Freddie was voiced by China Anne McClain in the first season but is replaced by Lauryn McClain in the Second season.
- The CGI animation design of the characters seem to be closely modeled after their live-action counterparts, and also take inspiration from the Descendants doll lines.
- In Season 1, the intro starts with Evie looking at the magic mirror that reveals her and Mal in animated versions, but in Season 2, the animated Mal and Evie appear in their Jewel-BiLee outfits rather than their usual Descendants: Wicked World garments.
- This is the first animated series produced exclusively to Disney Channel after Mickey Mouse Cartoons (2013 TV series).
- The intro was first shown at the end of the Rotten to the Core remix music video.
- Each episode is less than five minutes long.
