Soman Chainani's hit book series The School for Good and Evil is coming to Netflix, and here's everything we gleaned from the first teaser.

Netflix just dropped the official teaser for The School For Good and Evil film coming out in September, and fans are clamoring with excitement. The book series, by Soman Chainani, first came out in 2013 and has captured readers' attention ever since. The series begins with a fairly basic concept: every four years, two children—one good, one evil—are kidnapped from the village of Gavaldon, where they are taken to a school where they train to take part in fairytales.

The wrench in that system comes with the newest Gavaldon arrivals, Agatha and Sophie, who appear to have been dropped in the wrong schools. Very few details have come out about how the film will look and feel, so the teaser is a welcome surprise for fans who just can't wait to see more. 52 seconds isn't much footage to go off of, but here's what fans can expect from it.

As the voiceover discusses the place where "every great fairytale begins...and the evil become villains," audiences can see Cinderella stepping out of a carriage with a glass slipper and a glass display case showing off Snow White's bitten apple. The book series has always counted on its characters and its readers knowing their fairytales, and it seems the film is to be no different.

Though these famous fairytale heroes don't appear in the first book, the allusions to them help set the scene. The objects and portraits of each fairytale are likely to show up in the schools' museums and memorials, or through Professor Sader's history books and paintings.

The books lie in a delicate balance between dark academia and a fairytale, and there are distinct aesthetics associated with each. While possible sequels might bring the dark academia aesthetic to life, the teaser shows off corsets and gowns far more in line with royalty and fairytales.

Good and evil are distinctly separated by their appearance in the books, with successful Evers being rewarded with turns in the "Groom Room," and Nevers fighting to succeed at "Uglification." Before Agatha and Sophie really turn their world upside down, many of their adventures come down to Sophie's quest to have the perfect image, with pink ballgowns and a prince by her side.

When children are taken from Gavaldon to the School for Good and Evil, they are brought there by a stymph, a skeletal bird. The teaser shows a stymph appearing when Agatha and Sophie are in the forest to take them to the school. While the creature is less skeletal than its book description, it is still decrepit enough to be scary.

Director Paul Fieg has spoken about the stymphs before, explaining that he wanted it to feel as real as possible: "we want to keep the idea that it's made out of bones. So that then turned into looking at a lot of skeletons of birds and a lot of even decayed birds and all that, ... so it really was exciting to get it right” (via IGN). Going by the teaser, that hard work paid off.

Book adaptations often go one of two ways, either bringing in stars to draw audiences or relying on the fans of the books to spread the word. If the teaser trailer is anything to go by, The School for Good and Evil is going the second route, attracting audiences predominantly by the name of the book-to-film adaptation.

Of the 52-second teaser, 18.45 seconds are devoted to the name alone. The words are written in gold, with scratches alluding to its age and the wear and tear that time has caused. "Good" and "Evil" appear out of puffs of smoke, a possible sign of what the film's magical effects will look like.

As Agatha and Sophie are flown toward the schools, they get a good look at them from afar, where two distinct buildings are connected by a bridge and a tower behind them. The series is rooted in dichotomies, and the film seems to have perfectly captured that in its buildings. They look exactly as the books described them, leaving fans as excited as Sophie was.

Though the world of the first book is not extensive, it is important. The idea that good and evil are distinct ideas is intrinsic to the schools' foundations, but the bridge between them suggests just how easy it can be to pass between them, trying good and evil on as easily as new clothes, never quite sure which fits best.

The first image of the teaser shows Agatha and Sophie exploring what can only be the Schoolmaster's Tower. Directly between the two girls is the storybook, with the Storian at work. The Storian is the most powerful item in the book series, similar to some of Harry Potter's most powerful objects.

The Storian decides when a story is being told as well as when and how it ends, and book fans know that it controls the very fate of the world they live in. While newcomers to the series may focus on the girls, Agatha in her pink Ever uniform and Sophie in her black Never uniform, the object at the heart of the film and the series as a whole is front and center, and the first thing viewers can see.

In promotional materials, the film has been described as starring Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron, who play Professors Dovey and Lesso respectively. This seems an unusual choice, given that the series is about Agatha and Sophie, so actors Sofia Wylie and Sophia Anne Caruso should be highlighted.

The trailer does similar, with the voiceover coming from Theron's character Lady Lesso. While the schools' deans are certainly important figures, the unusually high amount of attention devoted to them suggests that the film might skew its narrative to highlight its celebrity cast - a choice which would be a detriment to the film and an insult to the series's many fans.

While the Coven (Hester, Anadil, and Dot) received their own featured look nearly a year ago (via Still Watching Netflix Youtube), there's somebody else important who fans still haven't seen. Tedros! In the books, Tedros is the charismatic son of King Arthur, who is also the love interest of Sophie and Agatha. Across the books, he switches in and out of different roles and is certainly the third most important character in the series.

So where is he? Director Paul Fieg announced on Instagram that Jaime Flatters, best known for his role as Matt Furnish on the BBC's So Awkward, would be playing the role of Tedros over a year ago, but, so far, there has been no sight of him in any promotional materials. It seems the team is keeping their golden boy well under wraps.

Though many readers would consider Agatha to be the strong protagonist of, at least, the first book, she doesn't get much of a spotlight in this teaser. There is a glimpse of her at the start, but her other appearances seem focused on her fear of the Schools. While this is a critical part of Agatha's character—that she does not want to leave Gavaldon—it isn't the most important one.

Much of the production has been kept under wraps, so it's possible that Agatha's minor role in the teaser is to keep from spoiling the wonderful moments she will have within the film. That's certainly the hope. Many fans latched onto Agatha immediately, and they will have to hope that there is more to her cinematic counterpart than what has been shown so far.

Like Agatha, Sophie doesn't have the chance to show off much of her personality in the teaser, but what she does show is her wonder. In her frilly gown, Sophie seems to be full of more awe than fear as the stymph takes her to the Schools, crying, "This is it! This is real!"

Her certainty about where she will be heading is on full display, prompting fans to speculate about how quickly that awe will turn to horror when she learns the truth. While Agatha is more easily sympathized with, Sophie is probably the most nuanced character in the series, so fans will expect a lot out of Sophia Anne Caruso's portrayal.
