What is Coven Academy about?

Coven Academy is set to dive into a magical new world. The logline 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.” Spooky!

Coven Academy is set to star Malina Pauli Weissman from A Series of Unfortunate Events as Briar, “a fiercely independent New Yorker who discovers she’s a witch,” alongside Malachi Barton from Camp Rock 3 as Jake, who is “a magnetic warlock with a dangerous edge.” Other students include 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,” and Louis Thresher (Boarders) as Ollie, “a hungry, newly turned vampire.”
