"Under Tim Federle's creative leadership, this magical high school comes alive with a breakout cast, continuing our tradition of creating stories and stars that connect deeply with today's generation."

"I pitched 'Coven Academy' as a love letter to the genre YA shows I grew up on," said creator and executive producer Tim Federle. "I'm thrilled to bring this original story to the screen with my longtime friends at Disney, led by Ayo Davis, and I can't wait for the world to meet the incredible cast and crew who are conjuring our world into being."

Recurring guest stars include Brendon Tremblay ("Descendants: Wicked Wonderland") as Alexander, Swayam Bhatia ("ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires") as McKenna, and Keegan Connor Tracy ("Once Upon a Time") as Tamora.

Federle wrote and directed the pilot, which he also executive produced alongside Kimberly McCullough and Bronwyn North-Reist, Federle's head of creative at his Chorus Boy Productions.

Under his recently renewed overall deal with Disney Branded Television, Federle is also executive producing the live-action comedy series "Vampirina: Teenage Vampire" (premiering Sept. 12 on Disney Channel, with all episodes streaming Oct. 15 on Disney+). In addition, he is directing the previously announced "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" sequel for Disney's 20th Century Studios and writing the stage musical adaptation of "The Greatest Showman" for Disney Theatrical Group.
