Disney+ and Hulu have renewed the supernatural teen drama Coven Academy for second season. According to Deadline, the renewal comes a little more than three weeks after the series premiered its first season.
Coven Academy has accumulated 20.3 million global viewing hours across Disney+ and Hulu during its first three weeks, according to Disney. The first episode also received more than 30 million additional views after being released across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

Nielsen data also showed strong co-viewing, with half of viewers ages 12 to 17 and nearly two-thirds of children ages 6 to 11 watching the series alongside an adult.
The first season follows three teenage witches and their warlock peers attending an elite magic boarding school. As the characters navigate the school, they become caught between ancient supernatural conflicts and forbidden relationships while deciding how far they are willing to go to protect their city and themselves.
The series stars Malina Pauli Weissman (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Supergirl, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Briar, Malachi Barton (Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, Stuck in the Middle, Under Wraps) as Jake, Jordan Leftwich (Family Switch, Loot) as Sasha, Ora Duplass (Their Town, Public Freakout) as Tegan, Louis Thresher (Boarders, God) as Ollie and Tiffani Thiessen (Beverly Hills, 90210, Saved by the Bell, White Collar) as Miss Graves. Devon Sawa (Final Destination, Chucky, Casper) guest stars as Mr. Cole.
Coven Academy was created by Tim Federle (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Better Nate Than Ever), who served as an executive producer on the first season. Darren Swimmer (Smallville, Shadowhunters, Defiance), Todd Slavkin (Smallville, Shadowhunters, Defiance), Amanda Row (Revival, Doom Patrol, Nancy Drew) and Bronwyn North-Reist (Sleeping with Other People, Vampirina: Teenage Vampire) also served as executive producers.
The series is produced by Federle’s Chorus Boy Productions in association with Disney Kids & Family.
