A new YA animated fantasy series titled Supernatural Academy was commissioned from the series by Peacock and the series’ main cast has been revealed.
Peacock has ordered a full season of Supernatural Academy, based on Jaymin Eve’s bestselling book series of the same name. The series will be produced by 41 Entertainment and follows twin sisters Jessa and Mischa, who may be twins but their lives have taken very different directions. The biggest difference between them? One sister has been raised in the supernatural world her entire life, while the other has only recently learned that she exists! And now, will the two meet at Supernatural Academy? It will make an interesting storytelling. The series is currently scheduled to premiere on January 20, 2022 on Peacock with 16 episodes of 30 minutes.
“It’s so amazing to see my original story come to life in this high quality animation project” noted The Supernatural Academy author Jaymin Eve. “I am very grateful to Peacock and 41 Entertainment for believing in me and I’m sure all fans of the books are eagerly tagging January 20 in their diaries.”
