In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Grey’s Anatomy alum Patrick Dempsey has finally confirmed that he has signed on to reprise his Enchanted role in Disney+’s long-in-development sequel titled Disenchanted, reuniting him with co-star Amy Adams after 13 years since the first film’s theatrical debut. He also went on to reveal that the studio is planning to begin production this Spring.
