Following a teaser that had fans extremely psyched, Netflix has dropped the official full trailer for The School of Good and Evil.

Directed by Paul Feig, the adaptation of Soman Chainani's beloved YA fantasy series hinges around friends Sophie (Sophie Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie), who leave the village of Gavaldon to go to magical schools where fairy tale heroes and villains like Wicked Witch (Freya Parks), Captain Hook (Earl Cave), and King Arthurs son (Jamie Flatters) learn how to be either good or evil.

The School of Good is run by Professor Dovey (Kerry Washington) while the School of Evil has Lady Lesso (Charlize Theron) at the top. But Sophie and Agatha find themselves sent off to different schools, and need to find a way to switch. But there's danger afoot, as Shadow and Bone star Kit Young plays the mysterious Rafal, who has major school destruction plans.

Meanwhile, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Patti LuPone, Rachel Bloom, Rob Delaney, Demi Isaac Oviawe, and Peter Serafinowicz also star.

The School of Good and Evil is streaming on Netflix from Oct. 19.
