Disney's Coven Academy Sparks Backlash from Parental Advocacy Group

The upcoming Disney+ series 'Coven Academy' is facing pushback from the parental advocacy group One Million Moms. The show, which premieres on October 2nd as part of Freeform's 31 Nights of Halloween lineup, follows a group of young witches and warlocks learning to control their powers while facing a mysterious force.

One Million Moms is warning parents about the series, claiming it promotes witchcraft to kids and teens. The group criticized Disney for its focus on secular values aimed at younger viewers.

The show's trailer features teenagers with anger issues, a witch sisterhood theme, teen romance, and vampires, according to One Million Moms. The group is asking parents to sign a pledge saying they won't support Disney or 'Coven Academy.'
