Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween 2026 Schedule Including ‘Coven Academy’ Premiere

September 2, 2026

Freeform released the full schedule for its annual 31 Nights of Halloween programming, including the premiere of Coven Academy.

31 Nights of Halloween 2026

Coven Academy, a new series from High School Musical: The Musical: The Series creator Tim Federle, premieres on Thursday, October 1 at 8 p.m. ET. The full season will then be available on Disney+, Hulu, and Freeform on Demand the next day. The teen drama series is about three young witches and their “dangerously charming warlock peers at an elite magic school where power is currency, secrets are lethal, and attraction is a liability.” (via PEOPLE)
