Ten years after the miracle was restored, the Madrigal family and the Encanto have thrived under the guidance of Abuela Alma. But when Abuela passes away peacefully, the family is left without its guiding figure — and all eyes turn to Mirabel to take her place. Still mourning her grandmother, Mirabel struggles with the weight of expectation. She doubts whether she can be the leader the family and the community need, especially when the Encanto itself begins to show signs of change: Casita starts shifting unpredictably, and the Madrigals’ gifts begin evolving in unexpected ways.
