Set to debut in October, the Tim Federle (HSMTMTS) created supernatural teen drama was originally set to debut on Disney Channel, but has now moved to Freeform.

What is Coven Academy about?

In the haunted heart of New Orleans, Coven Academy follows three teenage witches and their dangerously charming warlock peers at an elite magic boarding school where power is currency, secrets are lethal and attraction is a liability. Caught between ancient supernatural wars and forbidden love interests, the coven must decide how far they’re willing to go to protect their city—and themselves.

Who stars in Coven Academy?

The series stars Malina Pauli Weissman as Briar, a fiercely independent New Yorker who discovers she’s a witch; Malachi Barton as Jake, a magnetic warlock with a dangerous edge; Jordan Leftwich as Sasha, a deeply empathic student who can read minds; Ora Duplass as Tegan, an irreverent time-bending witch; Louis Thresher as Ollie, a hungry, newly turned vampire; and Tiffani Thiessen as Miss Graves, the formidable and glamorous head of the school.

Devon Sawa serves as a special guest star, playing Mr Cole, a brilliant and charismatic warlock professor.

The recurring cast includes Malachi‘s Zombies co-star Swayam Bhatia as McKenna, Descendants: Wicked Wonderland‘s Brendon Tremblay as Alexander, Keegan Connor Tracy as Tamora, BJ Harrison as Agnes and Nathaniel Logan McIntyre as Teese.

With the new movie premiering on Disney Channel and Disney+ this week, we recently caught up with Casey and got to know more about him with 10 Fun Facts.

Casey Trotter Reveals 10 Fun Facts About Himself

1. I’m a dual Canadian and American citizen, born in New Orleans, and raised in Vancouver, Canada!
2. As a toddler, I was a heavy metal fanatic. My favourite bands included Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeath and Korn.
3. I started drum lessons at age 3 and still take lessons because there is always more to know. I have gained a lot of knowledge over the years about how to drum, but also about music history, technique, and technology. I’ve also played in several bands in the Vancouver area.
4. My drumming has helped me to get into acting. Most of my roles have been drumming related, such as the School of Rock Musical, Camp Rock 3, and now the Mickey Mouse Club. I drum in all of them and I love it.
5. Some people say I’m a bit of a drum nerd. In grade 7 earned an Honourable Mention at the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair. My project involved testing characteristics of drum sticks made of several different woods and other materials like plastic, carbon and metal to see how they compared and which were best.
6. People are often surprised to learn that I can sing as well. I guess its not so common for drummers, but as an actor you have to know how to do it all! We were in a pub for dinner in Ireland during a family vacation years ago, and the band found out I knew how to sing “Whiskey In The Jar” which is a 400 year old Irish folk song that Metallica covered. The band gave me the microphone, and so my first public singing performance was singing an Irish Folk song at age 8 in a pub on the far north tip of Ireland.
7. During COVID we had a thing called the 7:00 cheer, where people went out on their driveways or balconies at 7 PM and clapped and cheered to thank the health care workers. I used to drag my drum kit down the driveway and play my drums for the 7:00 cheer.
8. I love skiing!!!!! I started skiing with my mom before I was 2. She would put skis on me and hold me between her legs as we went down the hill. Now in the winter I spend all my spare time on the mountain. There are three ski resorts within about 20 minutes of my house on Vancouver’s North Shore, and on the weekends I ski at Whistler.
9. My family is very outdoorsy. In addition to skiing, we mountain bike, and we have done several week long canoe trips and backpacking trips. Last year we flew to Scotland for a 10 day hiking trip, but as soon as we landed my mom got a call saying Disney wanted me to come to LA to audition for Camp Rock 3. A few days later we were in LA and the rest is history. Hopefully I can go finish that hiking trip one day (or maybe not)!
10. I have always been obsessed with the idea of being a lifeguard. I joined my school swim team for three years to work on my swimming, and am now earning my lifeguarding credentials. I’d like to work as a lifeguard if I have downtime in my acting career, I think it looks like a fun and important job.

As mentioned above, Casey was recently cast in the pilot for the Mickey Mouse Club reboot, alongside two of his Camp Rock 3 co-stars!

The 21-year-old actress and singer has starred as Red, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, in the last two movies.

While the most recent release, Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, ended on a cliffhanger, Kylie recently said in an interview that she’s ready to move on from the character.

RELATED: Kylie Cantrall Teases She Knows Who the Father of her ‘Descendants’ Character Red Is

While appearing on the Zach Sang Show, host Zach Sang noted how the red in Kylie‘s hair is fading, and she said it was symbolism.

“But your time as Red isn’t fading, is it?” he asked.

“I think it might be,” she responded. “I mean, I’ve had the absolute best time being a part of Descendants and playing Red. And I think I would like to button up, you know, the story, but also I don’t know. I feel very content with how, you know, Red has evolved from Rise of Red to [Wicked Wonderland]. And I’m obsessed with, I think Wicked Wonderland is so incredible. I’m so proud of it.”

“Yeah, I’d be interested to see what happens, but in this point right now, I’m so music focused that I feel like it’s a lot to juggle. It’s a lot to juggle both at the same time, you know?” she added.

She was then asked when she knew it was time to move on.

“I don’t know. I mean, I’ve literally been on Disney for like 10 years now,” she said, adding she first appeared on Bizaardvark when she was 11. “But, you know, I’m 21 now, and it feels like the perfect time to make that transition. Feel like I’m ready for that moment.”

“I think the transition is like, you know, people have grown up with me, and now it’s like being at this point where I feel like this project is honestly bridging the gap between where I’ve been to where I’m going,” Kylie continued. “But the next project is like, okay, this is me now outside of what people have known me for up until this point.”

What’s next for Kylie Cantrall?

She recently released her new EP, Valley Girl Problems, and she’s set to hit the road on her first headlining tour this fall!

The 22-year-old Heartstopper Forever star has reportedly been cast as Cyclops in the upcoming X-Men movie, according to Deadline.

He now joins his Heartstopper co-star Joe Locke in the MCU. Joe, of course, played “Teen” in Agatha All Along, who was then revealed to be Billy Maximoff / William Kaplan, who becomes Wiccan by the end of the series.

The actor is also joining his Warfare co-stars in the MCU, Will Poulter, who played Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, and Joseph Quinn, who plays Johnny Storm/Human Torch in The Fantastic Four: First Steps and the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

Kit is the latest star to be announced as part of the new X-Men, following Samara Weaving, who was revealed last week, and presumably Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, who was first revealed in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Jake Shreier is returning to the MCU as director, after previously helming Thunderbolts*.

If you aren’t aware of the lore, Cyclops is a mutant whose eyes emit powerful energy blasts that he can only control with specialized equipment. Known for his disciplined mindset and tactical thinking, he has long served as one of the X-Men’s most dependable leaders in the comics.

James Marsden played the role in the original film trilogy and is returning for Avengers: Doomsday later this year.

Tye Sheridan also played Cyclops in X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.

The 19-year-old actor will be starring in two more upcoming Disney movies (Camp Rock 3 and Zombies 5), and a new TV series on Disney Channel and Disney+ (Coven Academy).

In a new interview with Variety, Malachi opened up about his projects and how long he plans to keep working with Disney. Plus, Disney executives also dished on his star power and working with him!

Malachi was the first choice to play Fletch in Camp Rock 3

“Camp Rock is literally a legendary movie franchise, and you could ask anybody and they’d know what it is,” he dished about the upcoming movie musical. “The fact that I’m able to be a part of this next generation of Camp Rockers is so fun and so sick.”

Malachi was Disney’s first choice for his character Fletch, and he got the call while on tour last year for the Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour, which meant he had to miss the rehearsal process and go straight from tour to filming.

“The Camp Rock process was crazy. It was literally so bang-bang-bang,” Malachi said. “I was on tour. We were literally maybe halfway through, and I got the call from Disney. They were like, ‘Hey, so we’re doing another Camp Rock. This is the vibe.’ I was like, ‘OK, let me feel it out.’ I read the script — so fire — but I was on tour.”

While he was exhausted, he didn’t know what to do.

“I felt like I wasn’t in the right mental space to make decisions. Then I finally had a day off. A week later, I called ’em back, like, ‘All right, screw it. Let’s do it.’”

He even got some advice from Joe Jonas, who reprises his role as Shane Gray and executive produces.

“I’m not envious of anyone going through it now,” Joe said, seeing himself in Malachi. “It was tough enough with just the gossip sites commenting on teenagers’ dating lives, but with social media, that’s all heightened now. So I just reminded Malachi that it’s important to remember where you come from, and the reason you started this in the first place.”

Malachi was pitched for a smaller role in Coven Academy, but was then written in as a star

Coven Academy creator Tim Federle, known for HSMTMTS and also executive produces Camp Rock 3, recalled a conversation with Ayo Davis, president of Disney Kids & Family, saying he should write a role for him in the series.

“She said, ‘Tim, I haven’t seen a reaction to a young actor like this ever in my career,’” he said. “‘It’s visceral in the room, and you should consider writing him a little role in Coven Academy.’”

“So I created this role, and Malachi read for it — which surprised me, because he’s the kind of actor who’s quickly tipping into offer-only,” Tim shared. “The X factor Malachi has is so undeniable.”

The writer then started writing more material for Malachi “to help headline the series, because show business is about timing and luck and the universe whispering to you. And it was so clear that he has something incredibly special that you can’t teach.”

Prior to filming the show, Tim had a conversation with Malachi about his future.

“I said, ‘Malachi, your audience is growing up. I think it’d be great for you to start growing up with them. Ground it. Shake off anything multi-cam. Just be a guy. Step into your greatness by actually doing less,” he recalled. “This is a single camera; it’s on you, and the camera does a lot of the work. Just trust that you’re enough.’ And I give him credit. He really, I think, trusted me, did less and was amazing. My experience with him is that he really wants to be pushed, and he doesn’t want to coast.”

When asked if he’s had offers for more adult projects, Malachi notes that he has had some things come in, but the young adult Coven Academy is a good stepping stone for him.

“I got to tap into a little bit of like a psychopath. I’m crying, we’re fighting, we’re kissing — all the things of older television that I’m really excited for,” he teased.

Malachi Barton reveals how long he’ll keep working with Disney

In addition to Camp Rock 3 and Coven Academy, Malachi is also set to reprise his role in Zombies: Secrets of the Sea. He’s also going back on tour with the second round of the Worlds Collide Tour with some of his Camp Rock and Zombies co-stars, as well as Descendants franchise stars.

When asked how long he’ll continue working with Disney, Malachi says the door is wide open for him!

“Dude, as long as they’ll have me! I’ve literally grown up in the Disney bubble, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” he said. “I’m trusting God’s plan, and I’m hanging out with Mickey Mouse right now, and it’s fun.”

News of the movie was first announced in August 2025, when filming began, and we finally have an update.

Just a week after the release of her new movie Descendants: Wicked Wonderland and its soundtrack, Kylie dropped her new EP, Valley Girl Problems.

The new work features the previously released single, “Carrie Bradshaw,” along with eight more songs, produced by Tricky Stewart and written alongside Tayla Parx.

“I’ve always heard people say, ‘Write what you know,’ and that’s exactly what I did with this EP. ‘Valley Girl Problems’ truly captures everything I’ve experienced over the last year and how I’ve embraced this new chapter of my life – from the excitement of late nights out in the Valley with my friends to the devastating heartbreak that came with losing some of the people closest to me.

I wanted this project to feel like an emotional journey from start to finish, where the listener is riding shotgun with me in my Mini Cooper.” 

Along with the EP’s release, Kylie also dropped the music video for “Closet,” the third track, which is about getting rid of things that no longer serve her.

“It’s so crazy because I had an original idea for what the album was gonna be,” she told People of the new EP. “I had a title, I had a whole concept. It’s gonna be super fun, baddie dance anthems. And all this s— in my personal life started happening, and I was like, ‘You know, I actually wanna write sad songs.’”

One of those songs is the closing track, “Space Between,” about a friendship breakup. Learn more about that song on Just Jared!

Disney+ revealed when fans can expect the new episodes to debut on Thursday (July 23) as the cast stepped out for a panel in Hall H at the 2026 San Diego Comic-Con in California.

Series stars Walker Scobell, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, and Tamara Smart, as well as series newcomers Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie, hit the stage for the show’s panel. They were joined by executive producers Craig Silverstein and Dan Shotz to tease the upcoming third season.

Those in attendance at the Hall H panel were treated to the opening act of the season three premiere, plus the first teaser was revealed online, featuring Walker as Percy Jackson.

“It was my choice to hold the weight, the Titan’s Curse. I knew the risk,” he says in the clip. “But if I needed to sacrifice myself to save the world, to save my friends… was it really a choice?”

If you didn’t know, the third season will center on Rick Riordan‘s “The Titan’s Curse” book, marking the first time it has been on screen!

Here’s the season’s synopsis:

The stakes are higher than ever before as Percy is faced with the sudden disappearance of Annabeth and the impending Great Prophecy provided by the Oracle of Delphi, dictating the fate of Olympus. As foretold by the Oracle of Delphi, one demigod child of the “Big Three” is fated to raise Olympus to new heights or bring it crashing into ruin, with their own life hanging in the balance.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season three will premiere on November 20 on Disney+!

The 19-year-old actor and the 20-year-old actress stepped out for a celebrity party hosted by Raising Cane’s owner and founder Todd Graves on Sunday (July 19) at Sartiano’s in the city.

For their outing at the pre-World Cup party, Mason wore a black shirt, tan pants, and a black ball cap.

Mckenna donned a Miu Miu eyelet poplin top with a matching skirt.

The night before, Mckenna and Mason were seen attending another Raising Cane’s party, held at Zero Bond.

While Mckenna was pictured laughing while speaking with Todd Graves, Mason was standing right next to her, where you could just see the same hat he wore the next day.

If you didn’t know, the young actress is no stranger to Raising Cane’s.

Back in May, Mckenna joined the restaurant brand at the Miami Grand Prix in Florida!

Last month, Mason joined Mckenna in Atlanta, where she’s filming the upcoming live-action Scooby-Doo: Origins series, where he celebrated her birthday on an aquarium date alongside her parents.

She also recently celebrated his birthday with a cute TikTok video, where they can be heard singing an acoustic cover of Olivia Rodrigo‘s “honeybee.”

The 19-year-old Descendants: Wicked Wonderland star will not be hitting the road later this year with her co-stars for the 2026 fall tour.

In a new interview, Malia revealed the reason why she’s not a part of this year’s tour, and confirmed that it’s NOT because she wasn’t asked.

Malia was invited but chose not to go on tour this year

“I got the invite,” she said on the Zach Sang Show before joking, “They didn’t like me on the last one.”

“No, I did. It was just, I didn’t feel like it was… it didn’t fit,” Malia added. “I never wanted to be a pop star or a singer. I feel very grateful that this life has led me to those opportunities, to even experience what that would be like for a millisecond.”

She went on to explain that she would rather be on set than on tour.

“I was like, ‘Wait, remember. You really like sets,'” she said.

While she won’t be on stage, she seemingly has plans to attend to cheer on her friends/co-stars, and experience it from the audience’s perspective.

“I’m really excited to cheer them on because they work so incredibly hard on these things,” she said.

During the interview, Malia recalled her own experience on the tour last year.

What Malia said about touring in 2025

“We went from shooting the last Descendants, Wicked Wonderland, straight into working on the tour,” she said. “I remember within like a two-day turnaround I was in LA doing rehearsals in Burbank, and I was like, ‘I just did this song. I can’t remember what to do.’ And like the songs are the same from the movie, so the choreography is different. So your brain just goes through a whole whirlwind. Um, and then yeah, learning like the Zombies songs and learning the OG Descendants songs was so wild and so cool.”

“I don’t think I would have ever, singing was never like my all-time dream,” Malia added. “To just be able to have that experience with the people involved in particular, I think, was life-changing and a moment that I’ll never forget, just because it is so, that’s not an everyday thing at all. I don’t take it lightly.”

On Thursday (July 16), it was announced that the trio is among the young talent cast in the pilot for a The Mickey Mouse Club revival at Disney+, according to Deadline.

They join eight more cast members, which also includes another Disney star, Elio voice actor, Yonas Kibreab!

What is The Mickey Mouse Club about?

Per Deadline, the upcoming variety show revival will be a “showcase for today’s most talented young performers, where music, innovation, and self-expression take center stage.”

Fulwell Productions, the company that produces The Kardashians on Hulu, is behind the reboot, with the company’s co-founder Ben Winston serving as executive producer.

Who else stars in the reboot pilot?

Joining the cast with the aforementioned stars are Erianthe Akaata, Scarlett London Diviney, Michael Cash, Varonica Mitchell, Kauani, Scarlett Grace Petty, and Carter Barnes.

This news comes just weeks before Camp Rock 3 debuts on Disney+ – Watch the teaser trailer here!

In addition, Hudson recently released his debut single “Overthinker” after signing a record deal with Disney’s Hollywood Records.

What is the history of The Mickey Mouse Club?

The Mickey Mouse Club was first created by Walt Disney himself, with the first TV series debuting in 1955 and running through 1959. It then had a revival from 1977 to 1979, and once again from 1989 to 1996, featuring many stars you know today – Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, JC Chasez, Nikki DeLoach, and more.

In 2017, Disney brought it back again as Club Mickey Mouse, acting more like a reality show than a variety program, running for seven weeks. XO, Kitty star Regan Aliyah was in that cast.

If you missed it, Disney also recently announced another new reboot!

Kiara Romero, Alexandro Byrd, and Liamani Segura are among the new additions to the cast for Disney’s fifth installment in the Descendants franchise.

Ahead of the movie’s premiere this week, Just Jared Jr caught up with the trio to get the scoop on joining the franchise, their favorite set from the movie, what they hope fans take away from the film, and more!

What was it like joining such an established franchise? Did you have reservations, nerves, or was it just pure excitement?

“All of those feelings,” Alexandro shared with us. “Every single one of those emotions balled up into one. I mean, all of us felt very honored and blessed to be a part of it. But you know, just like the first day of school, you know, first day, it’s nerve-wracking. You don’t know what you’re getting into. You don’t know if, you know, I remember being nervous.”

“I was like, Oh, I hope Kylie [Cantrall] and Malia [Baker] are nice,” he added. “You just don’t know what to expect. But it was flawless. It was so great. And they led the way wonderfully.”

Kiara and Liamani agreed with his sentiments.

The set is so detailed and full of life. What was it like walking onto the set for the first time?

“Oh my goodness. I remember walking on set for ‘Dancing with the Enemy’ and seeing the chessboard for the first time,” Liamani dished. “‘Cause we went in for rehearsals to rehearse and mark the dance before we went to film. But I remember looking at it and everything was life-size, like the grass, like the picnic table. It was practical. Everything was real.”

“The board lit up,” Kiara added.

“The fact that we were able to actually touch and feel and not like, cause you know, we had to use our imagination, but not that much because everything was already there for us, so it was crazy,” Liamani added.

“Yeah, it was incredible. Just the scale of everything. That’s so cool to see in person,” Kiara said. “And also filming at the actual Auradon Prep. That was also crazy.”

What do you hope fans take away from this latest installment?

“I think the power of friendship is such a big theme in this movie,” Liamani tells JJJ. “Just being there for the people that you really love. I think in this movie, Pink has her ride or dies, you know, she really met all her big brothers and sisters, and it’s such a big theme of we’re in this together, and we’re going to figure this out together.” Figure it out, figure it out together.”

“I think it’s such a big theme and I think the power of friendship is so powerful and also sisterhood. Literally sisterhood. Like me and Red, I think that’s also a really big theme. That’s really sweet,” she added.

Can you describe the movie in three words?

“Oooh…” Kiara says as they all share a laugh.

Alexandro says, “Adventure, dance, and fire?”

“No, dance!” Liamani agrees.

“Oh, there was one, I just lost it… Come on, folks, come on folks, give me a third one, let’s go,” Alexandro puzzles.

“Empowering! There we go, that’s a good one,” he adds as the ladies agree. “Yeah, we locked in right here.”

You’re all going on tour later this year. How excited are you to bring the movie that you spent so much time working on to life and in front of fans?

“It’s just so insane,” Kiara says with excitement. “I can’t wait to perform these songs live and hopefully people will know the lyrics and, you know, to see little Hazel dolls. It’s just such an honor and it’s such a blessing. I can’t believe we get to go to Europe next year. It’s just going to be such an incredible experience. I’m so excited.”

Alexandro added that he can’t wait to see people dressed up as their characters.

“No, it really is just such an honor, and it’s such a blessing to be able to go to all these cities and share the joy that we have for these songs, for these franchises,” Kiara continues. “I’ve grown up dancing and singing, so I’m just excited to do this every night with my best friends. It’s going to be crazy.” All right.”

“Yeah!” Liamani adds, with Alexandro exclaiming, “Let’s go!”
