Mysterious ‘Tower Prep’ Lands On Cartoon Network

Tower Prep – sounds formal, stuffy and maybe even a little boring – but this prepschool is anything but. The new show on Cartoon Network (not animated, by the way) about gifted teens with supernatural secret abilities is described as a cross between Harry Potter and I Am Number Four.
The show centers around several real teens played by Drew Van Acker,Elise Gatien, Ryan Pinkston and Dyana Liu, who attend a mysterious preparatory high school. Each of them has a secret power and Drew’s character is just discovering what his is – that’s the part that is kind of like ‘I Am Number Four.’ The school itself is a bit like Hogwarts in the sense that it’s only for gifted students. But that’s where the similarities end. The school is kind of creepy and its headmaster is no Prof Dumbledore. Yeah, we said it. We don’t like him.
The four teens spend their time investigating the school’s hidden agenda while trying to escape.
