Season 1 consists of two story arcs; one where the VKs and AKs have a wish gone wrong and encounter Dr. Facilier's daughter, Freddie, and eventually meet the daughter of Genie himself, Jordan, and one where everyone prepares for the Neon Lights Ball while solving a mystery.
Season 2 focuses on the Jewel-bilee while Mal falls under a spell caused by a curse from her birthright jewel, resulting in her wreaking havoc around Auradon, and the VKs must help her while thwarting s heinous plot from Yzma's son, Zevon.
