Disney has renewed the teen supernatural drama series “Coven Academy” for a second season, the order coming just under four weeks after the series premiered on Freeform, Disney+ and Hulu.
The show 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 first season pulled in 20.3 million global hours in its first three weeks on Disney+ and Hulu, with an additional 30 million views after the first chapter was made available on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
Malina Pauli Weissman, Malachi Barton, Jordan Leftwic, Ora Duplass, Louis Thresher and Tiffani Thiessen star while Devon Sawa guested on the first season. The series had short-run episodes clocking in at lengths of just 10-22 minutes each.
Tim Federle (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) created the series and executive produces alongside Darren Swimmer, Todd Slavkin, Amanda Row and Bronwyn North-Reist.
