High school’s already bad enough, but a fairy tale high school with ghouls instead of math teachers? No wonder why Agatha (Sofia Wylie) is constantly spiraling in The School for Good and Evil’s latest trailer.  

Adapted from Soman Chainani’s novel of the same name, The School for Good and Evil is set in a fantastical world where every fairy tale hero and villain goes to prep school before embarking on their destined stories. You’ve got Rapunzel and all the princess gang in the School for Good, while Captain Hook and his peers are in the School for Evil.

Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) is a perfect goody-goody, who somehow ends up as a student in the School for Evil, while Agatha, a no-nonsense badass, ends up in a princess dress at the School for Good. 

While their headmasters are left wondering if they’ve made a grave mistake, the girls start adapting to their newfound roles for better or worse. And by the looks of it, it's definitely for the worst. 

The School for Good and Evil also stars Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Michelle Yeoh, and Laurence Fishburne. 


The School for Good and Evil premieres on Netflix Oct.19.
