Paul Feig directs The School for Good and Evil, a 2022 fantasy adventure that sends two childhood best friends to a magical academy built to shape the next generation of storybook heroes and villains.

What is The School for Good and Evil about?

The film follows two girls from the same small town who are swept away to a hidden school split into two rival halls, one training future heroes and the other future villains. Complications arise almost immediately: the girl who always imagined herself destined for glory and goodness is placed among the villains, while her more skeptical friend lands among the heroes. As the two navigate lessons, rivalries, and the school's rigid expectations, their friendship is tested by a system built on strict categories that leave little room for anyone who doesn't fit neatly on one side.

About the cast

Sophia Anne Caruso and Sofia Wylie lead the film as the two friends at the story's center, with Laurence Fishburne and Michelle Yeoh as the instructors overseeing the school's opposing halls. Jamie Flatters, Kit Young, Peter Serafinowicz, and Kerry Washington fill out a supporting cast spanning both sides of the academy.

Context & significance

Produced in the United States, the film leans into large-scale fantasy production design to bring its fairy-tale-inflected world to the screen, with a 147-minute runtime that gives the two-school setup, rival factions, and central friendship arc room to develop across a fuller story than a typical family adventure film.
