Disney Channel announces slim October 2015 schedule
Despite the promos we posted yesterday, for some reason, Disney Channel doesn’t seem to be listing the Mickey Mouse shorts in their schedules which makes it very, very hard to cover. In any case, Descendants: Wicked World has a few listings and you should take note:

Everyone seems to be in need of Mal’s help. Pushed to the brink, Mal makes a wish that is more than she bargained for.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
