As they navigate their confusing new identities among their peers — the children of fairy-tale greats — Sophie and Agatha’s friendship is put to the test. From larger-than-life professors to wicked deans, the halls of the School for Good and Evil are full of all types of characters. Scroll through the yearbook roster to see who you’ll meet when class is back in session.

Sophia Anne Caruso

Sophie

The golden-haired seamstress has always dreamed of escaping her dreary life to become a princess. When Sophie learns about the School for Good, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill her fairy-tale fantasy. Unfortunately, she’s placed into the School for Evil and must learn to be a bad witch just like her wicked peers.

Caruso originated the role of Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice on Broadway and performed in The Sound of Music Live! alongside Carrie Underwood as Brigitta von Trapp.

Sofia Wylie

Agatha

Unlike her best friend Sophie, Agatha prefers ghost stories, her mother’s magic potions and her cat Reaper. When she tries to keep Sophie from running away to the School for Good and Evil, she finds herself accidentally placed into the School for Good.

Wylie is known for her roles in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Spider-Man and Andi Mack.

Charlize Theron

Lady Lesso

The glamorous and acid-tongued Lady Lesso runs the School for Evil, and she’s just as fiery as her flaming red hair. She has no patience for Sophie’s nonsense –– until she learns that a powerful force of darkness has plans for the new student that will allow villainy to rule forever.

The Academy Award-winning actor is known for films like Mad Max: Fury Road, Bombshell, Monster and more.

Kerry Washington

Professor Dovey

Overseeing the School for Good is Professor Dovey, who’s always sunny just like the golden wardrobe she wears. She’s a rule follower and firm believer that everyone should behave as heroes and heroines. Professor Dovey is desperate to convince Agatha that she’s a real princess.

Washington is an Emmy-winning actor who has starred in Scandal, Little Fires Everywhere and Django Unchained.

Laurence Fishburne

School Master

The School Master thinks he knows best. Despite Agatha and Sophie’s pleas to switch into the academies they’re meant for, the School Master sets his foot down and claims that only a true love’s kiss can change the rules and send the girls to their rightful schools.

The Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor’s credits include The Matrix, Apocalypse Now, Boyz n the Hood and more.

Michelle Yeoh

Professor Anemone

She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’s Professor Anemone. As the teacher of the School for Good’s beautification class, Professor Anemone encourages her students to perfect their smiles, don shiny accessories and wear the most opulent gowns. If you’re looking to step up your hair curling game, just enroll in one of her classes.

The Malaysian actor is known for her memorable roles in Everything Everywhere All at Once, Crazy Rich Asians, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and more.

Kit Young

Rafal 

Look over your shoulder, because you never know when Rafal is going to emerge. He’s a dangerous figure who threatens to destroy the school and the world beyond. He has mysterious ties to Sophie, and tries to lure her into his darkness.

Young has starred in Shadow and Bone as well as a live broadcast production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the National Theatre Live.

Jamie Flatters

Tedros

Not everyone can be a knight in shining armor, but Tedros is determined to be. He’s the prince of all princes, and sometimes that pressure proves to be too much. He might fumble or make a fool of himself along the way, but that doesn’t stop him from pursuing his crush, Agatha.

Flatters was recently in Avatar: The Way of Water, and has appeared in Close To Me, Liar and So Awkward.

Follow him on Instagram.

Earl Cave

Hort

This punk has an edge to him. As the infamous Captain Hook’s son, Hort is just trying to be like his dad. Unfortunately, he’s not very good at being a pirate and his shortcomings manifest themselves in the form of teen angst.

Cave has starred in shows like Domina, Alex Rider and The End of the F***ing World.

Follow him on Instagram.

Freya Parks

Hester

Hester is ready to give Hot Topic a run for its money. The witchy and gothic student has the power to summon up a demon, and she isn’t afraid to have it attack Sophie.

Parks has appeared in Jane Eyre, Les Misérables and Here We Go.

Follow her on Instagram.

Holly Sturton

Beatrix

As the queen bee of the Ever girls, Beatrix is a self-driven perfectionist. She’s spent her entire life preparing to attend the School for Good and knows she’s destined for greatness.

Sturton makes her feature film debut in The School for Good and Evil.
