Freeform’s highly anticipated “31 Nights of Halloween” returns this October with a massive lineup of spooky classics and the premiere of an all-new supernatural series.
The centerpiece of this year’s event is the debut of Coven Academy. Created by Tim Federle, this fast-paced teen drama follows three witches and their warlock peers navigating power, lethal secrets, and forbidden romance at an elite magic school. The series premieres October 1 at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT, with the full season available the next day on Disney+, Hulu, and Freeform on Demand.
