Disney+ today dropped a teaser trailer for the upcoming teen supernatural series Coven Adacemy from Executive Producer Tim Federle (Camp Rock 3, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series). Premiering October 1 on Freeform at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT, the full season will be available the next day on Disney+, Hulu and Freeform on Demand.
The synopsis for Coven Academy reads, “In the haunted heart of New Orleans, “Coven Academy” follows three teenage witches and their dangerously charming warlock peers at an elite magic boarding school where power is currency, secrets are lethal and attraction is a liability. Caught between ancient supernatural wars and forbidden love interests, the coven must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect their city—and themselves.”
Coven Academy stars Malina Pauli Weissman (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Supergirl) as Briar, a fiercely independent New Yorker who discovers she’s a witch, Malachi Barton (Camp Rock 3, Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires) as Jake, a magnetic warlock with a dangerous edge, Jordan Leftwich (The Family Switch) as Sasha, a deeply empathic student who can read minds, Ora Duplass (Their Town) as Tegan, an irreverent time-bending witch, Louis Thresher (Boarders) as Ollie, a hungry, newly turned vampire, and Tiffani Thiessen (White Collar, 90210) as Miss Graves, the formidable and glamorous head of the school.
The series also features special guest star Devon Sawa (Chucky, Final Destination) as Mr. Cole, a brilliant and charismatic warlock professor. The recurring cast includes Swayam Bhatia (Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, Succession) as McKenna, Brendon Tremblay (Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, Near or Far) as Alexander, Keegan Connor Tracy (The Magicians, Final Destination 2) as Tamora, BJ Harrison (It: Welcome to Derry, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) as Agnes, and Nathaniel Logan McIntyre (All American, The Equalizer) as Teese.
