Maya Rudolph, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Jayma Mays have all joined the cast of the Enchanted sequel Disenchanted at Disney Plus. They join returning stars Amy Adams, Idina Menzel, James Marsden, and Patrick Dempsey, as reported by Deadline. 

The newly added trio are rumored to play villains in the long-awaited sequel. Enchanted made its debut back in 2007 and was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $340 million at the box office. It also earned three Academy Award Best Song nominations for composers Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. 

Bridgette Hales is the most recent writer attached to the project,. Director Andy Shankman is looking to start production soon, and that looks like it may happen any day now as the Irish Examiner reported Disney initiating a casting call for the project and a set to be built in Ireland village of Enniskerry, Co Wicklow.
