According to a synopsis released ahead of the movie’s premiere, Lady Lesso, who is described as “glamorous and acid-tongued”, is the head of the School for Evil while her counterpart Washington’s “sunny and kind” Professor Dovey runs the School for Good.

The drama starts evolving when two best friends – Sophie (Caruso) and Agatha (Wylie) – are enrolled in the school together, but becomes separated. Sophie is enrolled in the evil curriculum and Agatha ends up with the good guys.

The synopsis reads, “As if navigating classes with the offspring of Cinderella, Captain Hook and the dashing son of King Arthur (Flatters) wasn’t hard enough, according to the Schoolmaster (Fishburne), only true love’s kiss can change the rules and send the girls to their rightful school. But when a dark and dangerous figure (Young) with mysterious ties to Sophie reemerges and threatens to destroy the school and the rulebook entirely — the only way to a happy ending is to survive the fairy tale first.”

In an Instagram post, Theron, 46, said she is so “so pumped to share the very first look of this magical film I had such a blast being apart [sic] of.”

Author Soman Chainani On The Joy Of Having His Film Come To Life

In October, Chainani shared his joy to see his book being brought to life onscreen.

“I almost had a heart attack, I think. I was in quarantine before I went onto set, so you’re alone in a room for multiple days visualizing it like, ‘Be cool, be cool.’ And as soon as you get on set, not cool,” said Chainani, adding that “visionary” director Feig “doesn’t like green screen and pixels and just everything being computer-generated, so he built the entire freaking School for Good and Evil.”

He added, “It’s a huge movie. It’s one of Netflix’s biggest movies ever. It gives them that kind of Harry Potter–esque franchise, but this time a little more representative, a little bit more inclusive. It’s a great movie for our times.”
