The magical first full trailer for Netflix’sThe School for Good and Evilhas arrived.
“You’re trying to tell me that Snow White and Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk were real?” Agatha asks as the pair arrive at the school. “Our graduates live the very real events which become the stories,” the Schoolmaster (Laurence Fishburne) tells her.
The action-packed trailer promises what Chainanipreviously calleda “Harry Potter-esque franchise"for Netflix, though one that is “a little more representative, a little more inclusive.”

The Schoolmaster tells the pair that only true love’s kiss can send the girls to their rightful schools and destiny, but a dark figure from Sophie’s past (Kit Young) seems to threaten everything. As Agatha tries to warn her friend about what’s at risk, Sophie insists that she likes the new version of herself.
“If Sophie becomes evil, none of us will survive,” Fishburne’s character warns Agatha in the trailer.
