The Owl House centers on a teenage girl named Luz (
Sarah-Nicole Robles) who, after being unintentionally transported to the Boiling Isles before leaving for summer camp, befriends the rebellious witch Eda (
Wendie Malick) and her cute demon housemate, King (Alex Hirsch). Despite lacking mystical abilities, Luz works as Eda's apprentice at the Owl House to pursue her dream of becoming a witch.
The show is unexpectedly mature, with a contemplative narrative that recognizes the universal problem of young people experiencing grief and their attempts to cope while still being able to balance horror and humor throughout. Moreover,
The Owl House has distinguished itself from previous Disney media by providing LGBTQIA+ representation by
featuring a same-sex couple in the leading role.
