Disney and Hulu have ordered a second season of the supernatural teen drama Coven Academy, the companies announced Monday, citing robust early streaming performance and cross-platform viewership.
Renewal and the numbers behind it
The series, which premiered in early October, accumulated 20.3 million global hours on Disney+ and Hulu during its first three weeks, Disney said. An additional audience surge followed when the show's first chapter circulated on social platforms: the company reported more than 30 million views after clips and episodes were posted to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
