The key art for the show was released on June 6, giving fans a dramatic first glimpse of what the two dueling schools will look like. In a panel for Geeked Week Chainani said that the visual universe the movie creates is exactly what his imagination led him while writing the series, and that the story of Sophie and Agatha is a departure from a classic hero’s journey.
““I wanted a magical school that felt like a Madonna concert,” Chainani said. “I wanted this high female energy that’s powering the school.”
