Disney Branded Television’s Under Wraps 2, the sequel to the eerie-sistably fun Halloween Disney Channel Original Movie Under Wraps, will premiere Sunday, Sept. 25, on Disney Channel and will stream on Disney+ shortly thereafter.
Under Wraps 2 picks up as Marshall (Malachi Barton), Gilbert (Christian J. Simon) and Amy (Sophia Hammons) are getting ready to attend Amy’s father’s Spooktacular Halloween-themed wedding to his fiancé Carl.
However, plans soon go awry when the three friends discover their mummy pal Harold (Phil Wright) and his beloved Rose (Rryla McIntosh) may be in danger. Sobek (T.J. Storm), an evil mummy with a 1000-year-old grudge against his best friend-turned-bitter-rival Harold, is unexpectedly awakened and out for revenge.
With help from his hypnotized lacky Larry (Jordan Conley), Sobek kidnaps Rose. Gilbert, Marshall, Buzzy (Melanie Brook), and Harold must use their skills once again to save her and get back in time to attend the wedding.
“We are thrilled to kick off the Halloween season by taking the fans on another spooky adventure with even more mummies, more scares and more fun,” said Lauren Kisilevsky, SVP of Original Movies, Disney Branded Television.
Under Wraps 2 also stars Claude Knowlton (Supergirl) as Amy’s father, Pop; Antonio Cayonne (The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers) as Carl; and Adam Wylie (1997 version of Under Wraps) as Beuller, owner of Beuller’s Jewelry.
