Supernatural Academy

Supernatural Academy is an American-Canadian animated fantasy television series that premiered on Peacock on January 20, 2022.

Her twin sister Jessa is a popular girl and Wolf-Shifter living at Supernatural Academy with her father, council leader Jonathan.

Mischa, in particular, has no idea of the supernatural world—populated by Shifters, Magic-Users, Faeries, Trolls, Harpies, Vampires and Mermaids—and lives as a normal teenager in modern-day New York City.

Deciding that she can no longer hide and protect her daughter in the human world, Lienda reunites Mischa with her sister and father and enrolls her in Supernatural Academy.

As their sisterhood is tested time and again, Jessa and Mischa will need each other and their friends if they are to stand a chance against the dark forces seeking to resurrect the Dragon King.

Later, during a run through the woods, Jessa and Brax spot Headmaster Kristov catching a young boy with a Dragon-mark on his arm.

In class, students are taught that the supernaturals have lived hidden from the human world behind cloaking spells ever since their own realm was destroyed by the Dragon-King in a big war.

Mischa is admitted to Supernatural Academy and is introduced to Jessa's pack: Maximus is a Vampire, Braxton a Dragon-Shifter, Terra a Magic-user and Jae a Faerie.

Jessa steals her father's talon to reverse the effect of their punishment, which would normally take weeks to recover from.

Headmaster Kristov catches the pack on their way back to the campus and confiscates the talisman, but declines to punish them.

They fear it means the Dragon-King may return, and discuss establishing a task force to round up the Dragon-marked.

The trio is disillusioned that the Cloister is unlike what they have been told their whole lives: children are entrapped in crystal once they get their powers.

Jessa changes her mind and suggests to Braxton that they go to the dance as a date, only to run off when he mentions her Dragon-mark.

The school is on lockdown and the barrier has been reinforced, so the girls decide to hide in the bell tower above Kristov's study, where the protection spells are strongest.

Terra and Jae's preparations go into full swing, but their first try to conjure the door fails and blows out the rest of the power grid.

By messaging Dante, a troll Mischa befriended at the Academy, the twins are able to speak with Braxton and Maximus.

He agrees to convince the Faerie Elders that the twins are no threat, in return for Jae not using their powers openly.

They reach Central Park, where it is revealed that the Four is in fact just one sorcerer: able to duplicate, but at the cost that his power splits up too.

They manage to force him to recombine, whereupon he is ensnared by Jae and the Faerie Elders, in revenge for Reece's murder.

Braxton and Maximus hand Kristov over to the enforcers, and Yufon agrees to let Mischa and Jessa return.

Back in Central Park, Louis—the sorcerer who made the spell to hide the twins' Dragon-Marks—appears and asks to be brought to Mischa and Jessa.

With help from Dante, the twins manage to get some blood from Kristov, which Terra and Jae can test to find out what spell he is using.

The barrier around Stratford has been strengthened with Enforcer magic, but Mischa realizes it has a weak spot, because phone signals can still get through.

Louis discovers that the source of Elda's power is the dark magic of the Shadow-Spawn, which awoke when the Faerie realm reappeared.

Saying "What is shattered must be mended," she strikes the Dragon-King, who turns to crystal; he at first struggles to move, but then grabs Mischa and flies off.

The series premiered on January 20, 2022 on the streaming service Peacock in the United States, with the first season consisting of 16 half-hour episodes.

The voicecast includes Larissa Dias, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Cardi Wong, Vincent Tong, Ali J. Eisner and Bethany Brown, as the main characters.

Additional characters are spoken by, among others, Alessandro Juliani, Barbara Kottmeier, Brian Drummond, Diana Kaarina, Kathleen Barr and Shannon Chan-Kent.

[7] Polygon praised the show for its rich concept of having a magical school-setting, that is not just populated by human characters, but a variety of mythological creatures.

[8] Slant Magazine also notes as a positive aspect, that the show tries to grapple with social issues relevant for young adults of various backgrounds in today's society, especially the fear and prejudice that comes with being an outcast for superfluous reasons, but criticizes that the show deviates from its rich characters and their problems, to a generic race to save the world during the end of the first season.
