NETFLIX'S 'THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL' TO HAVE GLOBAL RELEASE ON OCTOBER 21, 2022

 

Based on the epic international best-selling series by Soman Chainani, the film is directed by Paul Feig and stars Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Sophia Anne Caruso, and Sofia Wylie


Netflix just dropped the new release date poster of the feature film The School For Good and Evil and it's a smash!


Based on the epic international best-selling series by Indian-American author and writer, Soman Chainani, the film is directed by Paul Feig and stars the best of Hollywood from Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, and Laurence Fishburne, to Michelle Yeoh, Patti LuPone, and Ben Kingsley and has recruited incredibly talented new finds, Sophia Anne Caruso and Sofia Wylie, playing the titular roles.


The first film installment of the young adult fairy-tale fantasy book series, The School For Good and Evil is about two misfits and best friends Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie) who live in the village of Gavaldon, and they share the unlikeliest of bonds. Sophie, a golden-haired seamstress, dreams of escaping her dreary life to become a princess, while Agatha, with her grim aesthetic and offbeat mother, has the makings of a real witch. One night under a blood-red moon, a powerful force sweeps them away to the School for Good and Evil — where the true stories behind every great fairy tale begin. Yet something is amiss from the start: Sophie is dropped into the School for Evil, run by the glamourous and acid-tongued Lady Lesso (Charlize Theron), and Agatha in the School for Good, overseen by the sunny and kind Professor Dovey (Kerry Washington). As if navigating classes with the offspring of the Wicked Witch (Freya Parks), Captain Hook (Earl Cave), and King Arthur (Jamie Flatters) wasn’t hard enough, according to the Schoolmaster (Laurence Fishburne), only true love’s kiss can change the rules and send the girls to their rightful schools and destiny. But when a dark and dangerous figure (Kit Young) with mysterious ties to Sophie reemerges and threatens to destroy the school and the world beyond entirely — the only way to a happy ending is to survive their real-life fairytale first.

About the author:

Soman Chainani's book series THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD & EVIL has been on the New York Times best-seller list for over 36 weeks, has sold more than 3 million copies, and has been translated into 30 languages across six continents.
