Devon Sawa Joins Disney Series ‘Coven Academy’
Devon Sawa is set to guest star in the upcoming Disney series “Coven Academy.”
The show, which was greenlit in August 2025, is expected to debut on Disney Channel and Disney+ sometime in 2026, though an exact premiere date has yet to be set.
The show takes place in New Orleans. Per the official logline, it follows “follows three teenage witches and their dangerously charming warlock peers at an elite magic 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.”
Sawa will play Mr. Cole, who is described as “The effortlessly cool teacher who’s tired of watching teenagers mistake talent for readiness. He’s the adult who can clown you and protect you in the same breath. A good man and a brilliant warlock. It’s just another year at Coven Academy until Mr. Cole and the rest of the faculty are rocked by a surprising new student who threatens to upend everything.”
Sawa recently played multiple roles in the popular “Chucky” TV series, which was based on the “Child’s Play” horror film franchise. He has also made appearances on shows like “Twisted Metal” at Peacock and “Hacks” at HBO Max of late. He is best known for his roles in films like “Final Destination,” “SLC Punk,” and “Idle Hands.”
He is repped by Artists First, Gersh, and Felker Toczek.
The main cast of “Coven Academy” includes Malina Pauli Weissman, Malachi Barton, Jordan Leftwich, Ora Duplass, Louis Thresher, and Tiffani Thiessen. Recurring cast members include Swayam Bhatia, Brendon Tremblay, and Keegan Connor Tracy.
Tim Federle created the series and executive produces via Chorus Boy Productions. Darren Swimmer, Todd Slavkin, Amanda Row, and Bronwyn North-Reist also executive produce. Chorus Boy and Disney Branded Television produce.
