Following some brief teasers, Netflix has finally debuted the full trailer for its upcoming YA adaptation, The School for Good and Evil.
Based on the best-selling book series of the same name, the story follows two friends in a fantastical world who are training to be fairy tale heroes and villains, but major problems arise when Sophie (Sophie Anne Caruso) is mistakenly dropped into the School for Evil, and Agatha (Sofia Wylie) lands in the School for Good.
Honestly, this doesn't look very good, but it has enlisted a heck of a cast, with Charlize Theron, Michelle Yeoh, Kerry Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Sophia Anne Caruso, Sofia Wylie, Peter Serafinowicz, Ben Kingsley, and Cate Blanchette all on board.
Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.
"In the village of Gavaldon, two misfits and best friends, Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie), share the unlikeliest of bonds. Sophie, a golden-haired seamstress, dreams of escaping her dreary life to become a princess, while Agatha, with her grim aesthetic and offbeat mother, has the makings of a real witch. One night under a blood-red moon, a powerful force sweeps them away to the School for Good and Evil — where the true stories behind every great fairy tale begin. Yet something is amiss from the start: Sophie is dropped into the School for Evil, run by the glamourous and acid-tongued Lady Lesso (Charlize Theron), and Agatha in the School for Good, overseen by the sunny and kind Professor Dovey (Kerry Washington).
As if navigating classes with the offspring of the Wicked Witch (Freya Parks), Captain Hook (Earl Cave), and King Arthur (Jamie Flatters) wasn’t hard enough, according to the Schoolmaster (Laurence Fishburne), only true love’s kiss can change the rules and send the girls to their rightful schools and destiny. But when a dark and dangerous figure (Kit Young) with mysterious ties to Sophie re-emerges and threatens to destroy the school and the world beyond entirely — the only way to a happy ending is to survive their real-life fairytale first."
The School For Good & Evil is set to premiere on October 21.
