This telefilm is about a girl who starts attending a new school where everyone is a reincarnation of the principal figures in the Arthurian legend.

Avalon High is produced by the same production company (Turtle Rock Productions) that brought you the Disney Channel show JONAS L.A. and the Disney XD series Zeke and Luther. Stuart Gillard will direct 'Avalon', and Howard Braunstein will executive produce. Gillard has helmed several Disney Channel productions such as Hatching Pete, Twitches, and Twitches Too.

Story:
Elaine "Ellie" Harrison has just moved from Minnesota to Annapolis, Maryland while her parents take a year long sabbatical to continue their medieval studies in nearby DC. Her new high school, Avalon High, seems like a typical high school with the stereotypical students: Lance the jock, Jennifer the cheerleader, Marco, the bad boy/desperado, and Will, the senior class president, quarterback, and all around good guy. But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be, not even Ellie herself. Eventually, it becomes apparent that Avalon High is a situation where the ancient Arthurian legend is repeating itself. Will, Jennifer, Lance, Marco, and Mr. Morton all correspond to King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Knight Lancelot, Mordred, and Merlin, respectively.
