- Netflix’s live-action version of Soman Chainani’s The School for Good and Evil is out on Netflix later this year.
- The story’s heroines, Agatha and Sophie, are aware that there’s a reason why everyone in their town insists on children learning about the fae folk.
In the first teaser trailer for The School for Good and Evil, released as part of Netflix Geeked Week this year, Agatha (Sofia Wylie) and Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) learn that the reality that has been lurking over them their entire lives is crazier than they could have imagined. It isn’t precisely a hidden fact in Chainani’s tale that there is an actual school where ordinary kids are brought to study how to become charmed princesses or easily slighted witch queens.

Outside of a few short (and undoubtedly gorgeous) glimpses of the structure itself, the new trailer for Netflix’s adaptation of The School for Good and Evil doesn’t show off much of the namesake school for learning. However, it introduces the girls to their new professors, Professor Dovey (Kerry Washington) and Lady Lesso (Charlize Theron), two of the many colourful people they’ll encounter when The School for Good and Evil premieres on Netflix this autumn.
