Fogarty joins an enormous dance crew of over 70 people. Fans of the original are thrilled as they long for dance numbers that rival those remembered through the streets of New York City from the original film.

In Enniskerry, a village in County Wikclow, many homes and business transformed into magical sets for the new film. One looks straight out of Giselle’s storybook dreams covered in vines of flowers in pinks and lilacs along with vibrant green foliage. The cast and crew also transformed areas of Greystones and Dublin into truly enchanted locations for the sequel.

The film began shooting scenes in Ireland a few weeks ago with many stars taking to Instagram to share the news, including star Patrick Dempsey.

Dempsey rejoins his original colleagues, including Golden Globe Award-winning actress Amy Adams, Tony Award-winner Idina Menzel, and James Marsden. Maya Rudolph joins the cast as the sequel’s villain, which she announced on Twitter. Other stars include Yvette Nicole Brown, Jayma Mays, Oscar Nuñez, Kolton Stewart and Gabby Baldacchino.
“Disenchanted” premieres on Disney+ in 2022. The original feature picks up 15 years after the conclusion of the first film. Giselle, Robert, and his daughter Morgan find themselves in suburbia, realizing that a perfect life may be quite different than Giselle once thought.
We certainly can’t wait for the sequel’s sure-to-be-darling and daring storyline, or the original new music composed by Disney legends Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz.
