The School for Good and Evil | Official Trailer | Netflix 

So for anyone who's wondering, the film is about these 2 best friends who are complete opposite from one another named Sophie(blond one) and Agatha(brunette obvs) from a village called Gavaldon. For the last 200 years in their village, children have been disappearing every 4 years and every 4 years, 2 children are magically kidnapped on the 11th day of the 11th month at midnight. One seemingly Good and one seemingly Evil. Every four years, villagers try to stop the kidnappings to no avail and fail miserably. This time it's Sophie and Agatha that are being kidnapped. And yes, the bird(called a stymph) is the one that will fly them to the School for Good and Evil. Only the children who have been kidnapped have seen the schools. In the School for Good and Evil, students learn to become fairy tale heroes and villains(or as sidekicks if they graduate with low grades). Imagine all the famous fairy tale characters that we ever know. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Captain Hook, Ursula and ALL, I mean ALL fairy tale characters that we've ever read. They were all once students in The School for Good and Evil before they all graduated and made their way into their own fairy tales. That's the premise of the story. All students at The School for Good and Evil all come from a fairy tale family or line, either a famous or obscure one except for the children from Gavaldon who are the only students that are non magical. The twist here is that seemingly good princess archetype Sophie with her pretty face and long blonde hair gets sent to the School for Evil while homely, antisocial and grumpy Agatha gets sent to the School for Good. Sophie is determined to show everyone that she is Good and that she deserves to go to the School for Good and become a fairy tale princess while Agatha wants nothing to do with all these magic and school stuff and just wants to escape and go back home to Gavaldon with her best friend. The books are so fun too so I def recommend the book series. Their adventures in their respective schools are also gonna be hilarious, dramatic, EFFING MAGICAL, emotional and gory, YES GORY. And the competition between the Good and Evil students is gonna be comical and exciting AF. (Good students are called Evers short for Everafter while Evil students are called Nevers short for Nevermore.) HAHAHA. Support this film besties once it comes out cause book 2 IS SO MUCH MORE EXHILARATING and we need the whole series to be turned into a film. THIS COULD LITERALLY BE OUR NEXT HARRY POTTER! Sooooooo my dear student... are you Good? Or are you Evil? EDIT: I don't expect y'all to like this plot based on some replies to my comment saying it's been done before when it's literally not. I'm just happy us people who have read the book and loved it all these years will truly appreciate how amazing the story of this book is. AFTER WATCHING THE FILM: sigh. the books are REALLY REALLY FUN but this film was such a let down. the book was better.

I’ve been a MASSIVE fan of this book series for more than 8 years. The film looks INCREDIBLE and it seems to be very faithful to the books. I CANT WAIT!!!!

Seeing her as a lead character in Netflix movie meanwhile you've hyped over her since the Beetlejuice is insane! It's hard to notice exact things on bootleg videos but Sophia's talent is hard to miss

This was one of my favorite books when I was younger! I wasn't expecting to see Michelle Yeoh, seeing her in the cast is so exciting, I bet her character is going to be amazing.

I know I shouldn't be disappointed that some characters don't look like their book descriptions, but there's always the part of the reader that is. Doesn't make me less excited to see it. I just hope they get Sophie's unbearable narcissism right.

I can’t wait to see this!! I do wish Agatha looked more angry, annoyed and scowling not just surprised, we gotta buy the evil. Cant wait to see some clumps!

This looks so interesting!! I'm getting vibes of the black-haired girl fighting everyone - it doesn't matter if they are good guys or bad guys- for her best friend. So excited about this!!!

u know the movie is so amazing when u come back to watch the trailer

The School for Good and Evil is technically a book series that I have retained fondness for all these years. Sophia Anne Caruso and Sofia Wylie can do justice to the characters of Sophie and Agatha respectively. Their worlds may be separate, but they do not stray too far from each other. Their friendship can withstand all obstacles and they don't need men saving them from stressful circumstances. They're both just capable of doing great things.

Omg just WOW. I have loved reading these books ever since they first came out and now that it is becoming a movie is just insane. I am so excited and literally can not wait to watch this!! Everything from the actors to the visual effects is amazing and is getting me really hyped! Can’t wait!!

Rereading the books while waiting for the movie to come out, I just wanna say what I wish this trailer did better: Personally, the book was all about breaking fairytale stereotypes and not judging a book by its cover. Throughout the book, we are following Sophie wanting to be good and rejecting her villainy, while we follow Agatha beat her own insecurities about looking like a villain herself. If anything, the coven of witches were more welcoming to Agatha when they saw her. The book made a really good case about the two not belonging where they were, really emphasizing that they'd be better off actually switching. Only in the end do we get to realize they really belong in the schools they got dropped in. This trailer feels like a giant spoiler all of a sudden, just showing that Sophie does really belong in Evil, and Agatha gorgeously fitting in her princess dresses and locking eyes with Tedros-who was supposed to hate her because he was judging her by her looks.. The trailer kind of removes the mystery that the first book made me feel, and suddenly the film looks like a very typical fairytale story that's comparable to Harry Potter. It makes the characters seem very one-dimensional all of a sudden. We don't see Sophie suffering in her evil classes, dedicated to proving herself good; we don't see Agatha's insecurities which is a huge part of her arc. And frankly, some of the lines make no sense, so I guess they changed things up because suddenly "evil is controlling Sophie"? And "if Sophie turns evil, we're all doomed"? Then uh, why then forcefully enroll her into the villain school if you don't want her being evil? But if those lines are just for promotion material, then the change is understandable. Either way, I think the trailer and the visuals are gorgeous, I'm scared the film won't deliver the moral of the book effectively or even change the moral, I'm scared our Aggie might not deliver the character Agatha that I read, I hope she acts witty, clever, cunning, but still passionate enough, and I wish that as villainous as our Sophie is, she will still deliver that character who just wants to be a good princess Edit: so they changed a lot of things from the books, unfortunately that bothered me more than it should because it also erased so many themes and morals in the original source... I feel disappointed watching the film.

This youtube trailer via Netflix of The School For Good and Evil is very spellbinding, definitely sounds like a school that would hold some entrancing surprises both the school itself and the way that the characters appear to be powerfully written from this movie trailer.

So excited for this! So glad to see a book series I went through my teenage years with finally get attention. My only issue is that to me Agatha should look sickly and, well, evil right at the beginning and become more more beautiful as the story goes on, but man Netflix would have struggled with it cause man the actress for Agatha is gorgeous!

I haven't read the book series but this is giving me "Ever After High" vibes which I am ALL FORRRRRRRRRR. give me all of it immediately!

I just have to tell I am completely in love with Agatha's hair, it's gorgeous

I am not someone who has read this book, but I’m excited by this trailer. Also I’m very happy/excited to Sofia Wylie in a more serious role. I really like her in HSMTMTS, and I think she has such great potential to be the next big thing.

I'm so happy that Sofia Wylie has got the recognition she truly deserves. High School Musical The Musical The Series season 3 centered heavily around her which is amazing since Gina is my favourite character in the series. And now she's leading a fantasy movie with Charlize Theron. She's so talented and I cannot wait to see what else she does in the future

I can't help but scream every single time I see Hester's Demon tattoo, it's just incredible and is exactly how I imagined it to look. I cannot wait for the film to finally be released and wish it was October right now

just watched it. Loved it and hope for a sequel!

I loved this film and excited to see second part!!🤌🏻✨

Sofia Wylie as Agatha and Sophia Anne Caruso as Sophie are PERFECT! They look absolutely amazing and I'm so excited to see them deliver amazing performances!

Absolutely thrilling to see a story I’ve loved for so many years be brought to life in front of my eyes. It’s so excited to see what’s like I pictured and what’s different. Can’t wait to finally see the School and all it holds in October. Edit: well there was quite a lot different from the books. I’m disappointed, it seems they were so focused on building up a nice aesthetic with the costumes and settings they forgot about the characters and their journeys. Agatha’s lesson about being beautiful? Tedros’ confusion and getting good and evil mixed up? Literally anything about the coven? Sophie with the golden goose and beast? I understand changes have to be made with adaptations, but I disagree with the choices made here. Hope people enjoyed the pretty costumes and pop music that this film prioritised. Maybe I’m just not the target demographic anymore, at least not for the film.

Just watched it and it was AMAZING. The fact this film is part 1 out of 6 got me craving for more! 😭😭 Please make more

I didn't hear about this film until now and I am excited to see Sophia Anne Caruso👏🏻I absolutely loved her in the Beetlejuice musical.

I remember reading this series in elementary/middle school and now I'm in college and they FINALLY make it into a movie, HELL YEAH!!

Sophia's voice is perfectly cinematic. She's gonna be a breakout star after this film

I absolutely loved it!! If you're a fan of fantasy and want a good story with fun twists then have at it! I hope they do a part 2😁

Keri Washington and Lawrence Fishburne are enough to make me want to watch it!

This series is a wild ride and mix of emotions. Hope this stays fateful to the books and no unnessaary changes are made. Really love the cast so far and the sets look beautiful!!

Sophie and Agatha being done justice and I can't wait to see the story unfold.

I know that I shouldn't be disappointed with the appearance of the characters, but by far my favourite part of the book was Sophie's evil and hideous arc. When she goes bald with warts, I was hoping for the witch we all love. Excited for the stymphs!

The movie is amazing. I enjoyed every moment. I can’t wait for the sequel.

I really like agatha's characters i hope they dont change her personality too much

Sofia Wylie, Kerry Washington, Michelle Yeoh?! Absolutely 🙌🏾

One of the best magical movies ive seen...so many emotions i felt and very interesting story.. I CANT WAIT FOR PART 2!!!! I WILL WAIT FOR IT

Never knew I would've enjoyed this but I did! Splendid..

I’ve always wondered why the series didn’t have a movie series. It was so beautiful and I was so drawn to it

when I first read this book I was in the fifth grade.. I’m now a junior in college. So excited to see all of the magic and action come to life and make all of my ever never dreams come true

Omg I can't wait for this show! I really love this series of books, but I think that the characters are not similar in description, especially Agatha. I hope that good and evil will not be stereotyped, and the characters will not be unequivocally divided into evil and good, because the characters in the book were multifaceted and it was very cool. I really hope that the series will be as interesting as the book💌

YES, sophia anne caruso is back and she is KILLING it

One of my favourite things about films like this is that they show how Good and Evil are subjective, that their boundaries cannot be clearly defined, and that factors such as time and circumstance always play major roles in these concepts. Yes. There are very few - if any at all, actually - who are wholly good or wholly evil, for the world itself is as grey as can be instead of being strictly black or strictly white. Oh, and of course, there is how it shows that one has to take their destiny into their own hands and give it all they got for the future they seek, instead of just waiting for the end to come, or crying for someone else to help or solve all their problems for them. 🙂

Michelle Yeoh is really Everywhere All At Once 🤯🤯

I actually really enjoyed this, I hope the rest of the books get movies as well.

the costume design for this looks incredible

This deserves a theatrical release! It would have been so epic to have seen it on the big screen!

Finally, they dropped the trailer!! Most of the older casts are known actors and actresses but so far the main young ones are new ones (or maybe I’m just not familiar with them) and I think everything balances! I’m so stoked! I’m definitely waiting for this to be released!

Absolutely loved this one can't wait for part 2 😍❤️

I am so excited for this!! This was one of my favorite series and I can’t wait to see it become a movie

I don’t know about this story/book but just the fact she feels she doesn’t belong and starts to go down the evil path really gets me going. I hope I really enjoy this.

Fun Fact : Cate Blanchett has confirmed to be the narrator of this movie. They really couldn't have pick a better actress to be the narrator 👍👍

Absolutely amazing film! Sophie was brilliant x

I love the series and I’m just amazed at all the love and care put into this, 😮 is the snow ball in this. Cinderella and red riding hood are my fav. If you guys love this read the land of stories it’s so good!😊

THE SETS THE COSTUMING THE EFFECTS OH MY FREAKING GOD THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING

as a person who have always been fan of this book, i’m crying so hard 😭 i can’t believe my dream came true !! i’m so proud of soman and the actors, i can’t believe this is really going to happen

This movie was probably the best movie I've seen all year. Maybe it's just made for my demographic exactly but I adored it

I read these books so many times when I was younger, I'm so happy it's movie now!! I wish Agatha was a bit more scowly and greasy/witchlike but the rest looks AMAZING

This approximate 10 seconds of Kit Young as Rafal just about made me go feral I'm not sure I'll survive the movie. Also how Professor Dovey looks at Lady Lesso gives me life!

I literally remember reading these books in my school library and waiting for each book teaser to come out like it was yesterday. I actually can't wait for the movie to be released, it looks like everything I've ever imagined in my head LIKE OMG YALL HAVE SOPHIE AND AGATHA DOWN PERFECTLY AND THE POND SCENE????!!!!!! OHMYGOD

This was my favorite book series when i was like 10 omg!!! I have beeen waiting for sooooo long. Aaaaaaaa I am sooooo happyyyy

i've been waiting for this series for so long

The wish fish, castles, dresses, Tedros, Beatrix, finger glows, young Rafal, the music, fairies, SOPHIE FULL ON SCARLET WITCH MODE 🥺 😭 Seeing my childhood book come to life makes me feel so so happy.

I can't describe the rush, emotion, and thrill at seeing one of my favorite book series brought to life like this. It looks like they are truly doing it justice and it looks absolutely incredible! I'm so excited to experience this film with my family and millions of others around the world. I wish this movie and book series all the love it deserves. See you there Evers and Nevers! :D

I really loved this movie .. I had tears at the end so beautiful 🌸 it has several twists which is so cool .. I enjoyed every second I hope we see a trailer for a second part ❤

This movie is one of the best movies I've seen in my life. I can't wait for part 2

As someone who has been disappointed by Netflix's adaptations in the past (Fate the winx saga I'm looking at you) this looks absolutely fantastic and seems like it's going to be very true to the original story. I honestly can't wait

I literally have chills...as a long-time fan of the books I feel like I've been waiting forever for this movie. It looks amazing, so excited to finally see it soon!!

This was so good 😊. I would like to see a series done. Continue this story please writer & director & cast. There are so much more you can continue with. I loved 🥰 all the casts. The 2 FL’s were amazing. Both schools had great casts. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕. I love the school of Evil characters the best so far…

This was a fun watch. Sooooo many plot holes and unearned twists (twists that weren’t even foreshadowed) It’s definitely one to watch for the characters and special effects. I love the scene where they begin to change from Evil to Good. All the cackling. And can’t forget to mention Dot. More Dot, please.

I've never heard of these books, but this trailer gave me FULL BODY CHILLS! I'm really looking forward to this one!

OMG THIS LOOKS AMAZING!! I have no disappointment at all, Sophia and Sofia looks fantastic as Sophie and Agatha!!!

Sophia needs to sing a song for this series or something. She’s such an amazing singer and actress.

I wish this was a series, it's so good and evil. It's captivating and ridiculous. It's perfect.

THIS SERIES WAS MY CHILDHOOD I CANT BELIEVE THEY FINALLY MADE A MOVIE😂 9 year old me is crying tears of joy right now

I'm almost finished the first book and I'm hoping the series does it justice. I'm very curious to see how they hand Sophie's um difficult personality. She's easily my fav character but I can see how she could be really unlikable if mishandled.

!!!!!!OMG. I read all the series and have been waiting for its motion picture, I'm so excited it looks great already!!!!!!

Literally just finished watching this movie, really enjoyed it.

I've imagine Agatha as someone more gloomy, thin, pale, eternal scowled in her face (since it's the start of the book). But anyway,

Sofia Wylie looks gorgeous in this movie. And the inspiration for this book series is very intriguing.

I cannot tell you how many times of this movie made me cry.

I litteraly have been waiting for this for over 5 years, i have ALL the books and i’ve been reading his blog posts from since universal was going to produce it im SO EXCITED!!

I’ve been fortunate enough to see this movie in a test screening and meet Sofia Wylie. Although I can’t say anything about the screening, as a fan of the books, this is a freaking incredible trailer.

I never thought my favourite book series would be made into a film, this feels so incredible! I can't wait to watch this, all the years of waiting are going to be worth it!

This is so good. I watched another video teaser or trailer and it wasn't as engaging as this one. Also, learning that it's based on a book series is exciting because yay, another book to read

I CAME HERE AGAIN, after idk how many times i rewatch the movie on netflix.. such a very good movie hope for the second coming

I remember reading stumbling upon book 1 as a middle schooler who thought I was reading ever after high at first. Thank god I made that mistake because I stumbled across a what I thought was a hidden gem. The School for Good and Evil was different from all the other books I was reading at the time (quirky romantic comedies) and really broadened my perspective. It was sobering and fascinating, to say the least. I haven't read the series in years, but this trailer reminded me how gory the books actually were and I'm surprised that I was able to read that at such a young age. I never realized how popular the series were until now, seeing it being turned into a NETFLIX adaption. I'm glad the series wasn't as obscure and hidden as I thought

Netflix please don't let us down with sequel projects . This looks amazing 💯💯💯

Anyone else still waiting for sequel to be announced? 🙏🙏🙏

"You will go to this place to teach you to be evil" *is evil* "Noooo stop herrrrr"

THIS IS LITERALLY A DREAM COME TRUE I JUST RECENTLY DISCOVERED THIS AMAZING BOOK SERIES IN 2020 AND ITS THE BEST!!!

Trailer just dropped, already imagining the next 5 movies

Oh I love the book series, read it few years ago. Wow, cannot believe the story is now live action!

AMAZING 👏 I just wish there was more of the coven in the trailer😢. Other than that, SUPER excited for the movie 🎉

I remember absolutely adoring this series as a kid. Can't wait to see the film!

I wasn't expecting this at all... what a great visual effects. Looking forward to watch it!

I know nth about this till now and the trailer is getting me so hype

I loved this book series growing up. my friend convinced me to read it, and amazing is all I can say. I read the series soooo fast

Sophia is KILLING IT already

The song choice is a 10/10. Ruelle and Unsecret never disappoint

omfg I've literally had the book for years on my self but like only half read and now it looks like a good time to pick it up again

I can't wait either!!!
