As well as the parents of the 4 main VKs (including Mal's mother Maleficent who makes no appearance in Descendants 3 (2019) as a human or a lizard), Lonnie (daughter of Mulan and Shang) is the only character in the trilogy who does not appear in this film due to scheduling conflicts with her actress Dianne Doan, which upset several fans who Lonnie had been a favourite character of especially after her role in Descendants 2 (2017), where it was also hinted that she and Jay could become a couple.

While Dizzy's grandmother Lady Tremaine appears in Descendants 3 (2019), her mother, Drizella, never appears.
Anna Cathcart, who plays Dizzy (daughter of Drizella), portrays "Tween Drizella" in two episodes of Once Upon a Time (2011)
