Plot Summary

After the magical revival of the Casita and the restoration of the Madrigal family’s powers, Mirabel now plays a vital role as the bridge between the enchanted house and the wider world. But peace is short-lived. A mysterious ancient force of forgotten magic begins to awaken deep within the mountains of Colombia — and it’s calling to Mirabel.

Strange natural events and flickers of wild magic spread across the region, threatening to destabilize the harmony of Encanto once again. The family’s magical gifts begin to shift and evolve — new powers emerge, old ones transform, and Mirabel starts experiencing visions of an ancestor long lost to history.

Guided by these visions and with the help of her family — including Luisa, Isabela, Antonio, and even the ever-elusive Bruno — Mirabel embarks on a journey to uncover the Origin of the Miracle. Along the way, she discovers a hidden Valley of Ancients, a magical place where the original power of Encanto was born.

But as magic awakens, so do its dangers. A forgotten rival lineage, once exiled for trying to control the miracle, returns. Their ambition? To claim the magic for themselves.

It’s now up to Mirabel to unlock a new kind of magic — one not tied to a gift, but to her heart — to protect the Encanto and redefine what it means to be truly magical.
