News Coven Academy Devon Sawa Joins Disney’s Coven Academy as a Cool Teacher and Brilliant Warlock The CW-esque show (complimentary) is set to come out on Disney+ later this year By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on February 18, 2026 Comment 0 Share New Share The upcoming Disney series Coven Academy will see Devon Sawa at the front of the class. According to Variety, Sawa, whose previous credits include SYFY’s Chucky (pictured above) and the 2000 film Final Destination, will join the show as a guest star. What’s Coven Academy all about, you ask? It takes place in New Orleans and, according to its logline, “follows three teenage witches and their dangerously charming warlock peers at an elite magic school where power is currency, secrets are lethal, and attraction is a liability. Caught between ancient supernatural wars and forbidden love interests, the coven must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect their city—and themselves.” Sawa, per Variety, is playing a teacher named Mr. Cole, who is “the effortlessly cool teacher who’s tired of watching teenagers mistake talent for readiness.” The description goes on: “He’s the adult who can clown you and protect you in the same breath. A good man and a brilliant warlock. It’s just another year at Coven Academy until Mr. Cole and the rest of the faculty are rocked by a surprising new student who threatens to upend everything.” Coven Academy also stars Malina Pauli Weissman, Malachi Barton, Jordan Leftwich, Ora Duplass, Louis Thresher, and Tiffani Thiessen as well as recurring cast members Swayam Bhatia, Brendon Tremblay, and Keegan Connor Tracy. The show comes from Tim Federle, whose previous credits include High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. “I pitched Coven Academy as a love letter to the genre YA shows I grew up on,” Federle said in a statement when the show was first announced in 2025. I feel you, Federle. I feel you. Coven Academy is set to premiere on Disney+ and The Disney Channel sometime in 2026.
