In the 2007 original, Adams' Giselle was about to marry a prince, when she is taken away from the fictional kingdom of Andalasia and lands up in New York City. There, the star encounters a lawyer, who she eventually falls in love with, and befriends his young daughter. This film was a huge hit upon its release, grossing more than $340 million worldwide.

The new movie will follow up these events 15 years after Enchanted, as Giselle questions her happily ever after untimely leading to a turn of events that topples everyone's lives in both the real and fictional world. Giselle will be seen juggling against time to save both her family and her Kingdom of Andalasia before the clock strikes midnight, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Earlier this year, Dempsey, who portrays Robert Philip, spoke to Variety and mentioned that he was excited ahead of filming and revealed he will make his singing debut in the film. The Grey's Anatomy star said that "there's a reason" why he denounces singing publically and requested everyone to 'bear' with him. He said he was hopeful that the fans will love it adding that "they've set me up for success" and "the lyrics are really fun". He also mentioned the great choreography and the interesting premise. 

In May, Disney+ announced that Maya Rudolph joined the cast as the villain in the fairytale musical in which Kolton Stewart, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jayma Mays and Oscar Nunez also star.
