Peyton Elizabeth Lee's Sam meets a few new friends at the Secret Society. Tuma, played by This Is Us star Niles Fitch, is a charismatic if self-centered prince. January, one of Sam's first friends at the society, is brought to us by Once Upon A Time's Isabella Blake Thomas—be on the lookout for her *exclusive* interview with GL. Aussie actress Olivia Deeble is Roxana, a social media influencer with a major fanbase. The group is rounded out by Matteo, a shy second-born royal played by Faly Rakotohavana from Raven's Home. We can't wait to find out what each group member's powers are.

The story

Second-born royal Sam lives in the kingdom of Illyria, where she likes to spend her days rocking out with her best friend Mike at protests and avoiding her responsibilities as a royal. Her perfect older sister Eleanor, played by Ashley Liao, is set to inherit the kingdom and acts a lot more like proper royalty in the eyes of their mom, Queen Catherine. 

Because of her disobedience, Sam is shipped off to a boarding school that turns out to be the secret society. There, she must learn to hone her powers from Secret Society instructor James and work with her new friends to save their kingdoms from the evil Inmate 34.
