The Walt Disney Co. has released the official trailer for the new supernatural series “Coven Academy,” an original teen drama from Tim Federle that premieres Oct. 1 on Freeform, with the full season available the next day on Disney+, Hulu and Freeform On Demand.
Set 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.
The trailer reveals Briar’s (Malina Weissman) struggles to hone her newfound powers as a witch and the turbulent love triangle between her, Jake (Malachi Barton) and Ollie (Louis Thresher) — all set to Oli
“Coven Academy” stars Weissman as Briar, a fiercely independent New Yorker who discovers she’s a witch; Barton as Jake, a magnetic warlock with a dangerous edge; Jordan Leftwich as Sasha, a deeply empathic student who can read minds; Ora Duplass as Tegan, an irreverent time-bending witch; Thresher as Ollie, a hungry, newly turned vampire; and Tiffani Thiessen as Miss Graves, the formidable and glamorous head of the school. The series also features special guest star Devon Sawa as Mr. Cole, a brilliant and charismatic warlock professor.
The recurring cast includes Swayam Bhatia as McKenna, Brendon Tremblay as Alexander, Keegan Connor Tracy as Tamora, BJ Harrison as Agnes and Nathaniel Logan McIntyre as Teese.
