Genre favorite Devon Sawa (Final Destination, “Chucky”) has joined the cast of Disney’s upcoming supernatural series “Coven Academy.”
Set in New Orleands, the show follows three teenage witches and their dangerously charming warlock peers at an elite magic 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.
Sawa will guest star as Mr. Cole, the effortlessly cool teacher who’s tired of watching teenagers mistake talent for readiness. A good man and a brilliant warlock, he’s the adult who can clown you and protect you in the same breath.
It’s just another year at Coven Academy until Mr. Cole and the rest of the faculty are rocked by a surprising new student who threatens to upend everything.
Malina Pauli Weissman, Malachi Barton, Jordan Leftwich, Ora Duplass, Louis Thresher, and Tiffani Thiessen star. Recurring cast includes Swayam Bhatia, Brendon Tremblay, and Keegan Connor Tracy.
Created by Tim Federle (Ferdinand, “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”), “Coven Academy” is expected to debut on Disney Channel and Disney+ later this year.
Sawa is also set to star in the new Return of the Living Dead film, aiming for a late 2026 release.
Federle executive produces via Chorus Boy Productions along with Darren Swimmer, Todd Slavkin, Amanda Row, and Bronwyn North-Reist.
