Netflix’s The School for Good and Evil gets a new trailer

October 12, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

With director Paul Feig’s The School for Good and Evil set to arrive on Netflix next week, the streamer has released a final trailer for the upcoming fantasy film.

Based on bestselling book series from author Soman Chainan, the film centres on best friends Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie), as they are whisked off to the School for Good and Evil – the place where every great fairy tales begins, and navigate life at the magical school.

The School for Good and Evil features a cast that includes Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Kit Young, Jamie Flatters, Earl Cave, Demi Isaac Oviawe, Freya Parks, Kaitlyn Akinpelumi, Holly Sturton, Emma Lau, Briony Scarlett, Alex Cubb, and Cate Blanchett.

Check out the new trailer below…

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 lover of fairy tales, dreams of escaping her ordinary village life, while Agatha, with her grim aesthetic, has the makings of a real witch. Then one night under a blood red moon, a powerful force sweeps them away to the School for Good and Evil — where the true story of every great fairy tale begins. 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 Cinderella, Captain Hook, and the dashing son of 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 school. But when a dark and dangerous figure (Kit Young) with mysterious ties to Sophie reemerges and threatens to destroy the school and the rulebook entirely — the only way to a happy ending is to survive the fairytale first.

The School for Good and Evil arrives on Netflix on October 19th.
