Peacock is ready to take you to school. Magic school, that is. The streamer will adapt Jaymin Eve’s Supernatural Academy books into a YA animated series.
Supernatural Academy tells the story of a pair of otherworldly sisters, separated at birth and living in two different worlds. One grew up in the supernatural world, while the other was raised in the mortal world. With separate lives and opposite personalities, the twins will have to overcome their differences to save themselves – and the world.
The series comes from writer Gillian Horvath and executive producer Allen Bohbot of 41 Entertainment. Steve Ball directs, along with Jody Prouse as animation director.
“It is so incredible to see my original story come to life in this high-quality animation project,” said Eve.’ “I am so grateful to both Peacock and 41 Entertainment for believing in me and I am sure that all of the fans of the books are anxiously marking January 20th on their diaries.”
Check out the full cast and their character details below.
