31 Nights of Halloween” returns in 2026 on Freeform.
This year, many returning favorites fill the schedule along with the premiere of Coven Academy.
What is Coven Academy?
It’s a “new supernatural teen drama series…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.”
