Peacock has announced it is expanding its animated programming with a full season order of the all-new original YA fantasy series SUPERNATURAL ACADEMY, produced by 41 Entertainment.
The series is the book adaptation of the best-selling series “The Supernatural Academy” from Jaymin Eve, chronicling an otherworldly adventure of sisters marked at birth. One twin sister was raised in the Supernatural world, confident and popular.
The other was raised in the human world, an offbeat outsider. Now they’re about to be reunited at the Supernatural Academy, and neither one of them is thrilled about it. These adversarial twins will have to learn to get over their differences and trust each other in order to save themselves – and save the world!
“It is so incredible to see my original story come to life in this high-quality animation project,” said Jaymin Eve, author of the best-selling series ‘The Supernatural Academy.’ “I am so grateful to both Peacock and 41 Entertainment for believing in me and I am sure that all of the fans of the books are anxiously marking January 20th on their diaries.”

GIGI SAUL GUERRO (Marvel Super Hero Adventures, Into the Dark: CULTURE SHOCK, Super Monsters, Nina’s World) as “Mischa Jackson/Lebron.” Raised by a single mom with a tendency to move from place to place, Mischa has never fit in anywhere. The timid, creative, and sweet-natured girl transforms after realizing her mother has hidden who she truly is for sixteen years.
