According to Entertainment Weekly, the synopsis of the film reveals that the film will follow, “Sam ( Peyton Elizabeth Lee) a rebellious teen living in the kingdom of Illyria — and in the shadow of her older sister Princess Eleanor (Ashley Liao) who is next in line for the throne. Sam has always felt like not only is she second born, but she is also second best. She is struggling to find where she can shine and where she belongs. But Sam soon finds out that being a second-born royal has its own perks. Not only does the birth order mean she scores superpowers, but she’s also drafted into a top-secret group of other gifted young recruits who are charged with keeping the world safe.”
“Secret Society of Second-Born Royals,” is scheduled to be released on Disney+ this summer.
