The 2026 spooky season is right around the corner and Freeform has released its full October schedule!
The annual event will kick off on October 1 and its loaded up with familiar favorites and several new premieres.
This year will feature showings of Hocus Pocus, Hocus Pocus 2, Casper, The Addams Family, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters movies, and more.
Plus, the Freeform premiere of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and a special Tim Burton marathon on October 16.
Coven Academy premieres during 31 Nights
Coven Academy is from creator Tim Federle (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) and per the synopsis, the teen drama series follows three young witches at an elite magic school.
Here’s the official synopsis:
“In the haunted heart of New Orleans, Coven Academy 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.”
Coven Academy premieres Oct. 1 on Freeform at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT. The full season will be available the next day on Disney+, Hulu and Freeform on Demand.
