The bloody image shows Titans' Jay Lycurgo as Nathan Byrne, the illegitimate son of the world's most dangerous witch, and Nadia Parkes as mischievous friend Annalise.

The series will land on Netflix on 28th October, just in time for Halloween.

The YA drama is set in the modern day, with witches living among us – and Nathan's father is the worst of the lot. As a result, he is constantly monitored in case he turns 'bad' too.

"Expect magic, sarcasm, banter, potions in zip-lock bags, hunters, romance, loyalty and unbreakable friendship," Netflix has teased of the series.
