The Direct spoke with School Spirits executive producers Oliver Goldstick, Megan Trinrud, and Nate Trinrud where they discussed the eventful Season 2 finale—and addressed Wally's fate.

There was a lot to digest from the big finale, including Simon getting stuck in the afterlife, Maddie making it back to the living, and Janet sticking around despite the choice of moving on (a decision Jess Garbor explained to The Direct).

But it was Wally who got thrown a curve ball when his golden door opened up in his scar, giving him the possibility of moving on as well. But the episode left it up in the air as to whether or not he went through it or not.

Two weeks after the conclusion of School Spirits Season 2, we now know the fate of Paramount+'s hugely popular supernatural teen drama, and the news will have fans shouting "Go Bandits!" Per ComingSoon, after an overwhelmingly successful sophomore season, the series has officially been renewed for Season 3, which comes as a surprise to no one given how much traction the show gained with its second outing.

School Spirits' renewal was pretty much a given when you consider that Season 2 averaged 3.9 million viewers in its first 28 days, which was a massive 94% increase compared to Season 1. The latest season garnered a ton of social media traffic as new viewers were brought it thanks to the first season being added to Netflix, and for Shauna Phelan, Head of Live Action Scripted Series and Film for Awesomeness and Nickelodeon, she already can't wait to continue the mystery on Season 3:

"We are so thrilled...

It’s been a difficult few years for fans of teen-focused TV, particularly on streaming platforms.

Many shows have been unceremoniously canceled as media conglomerates have curbed their spending after a neverending array of shows got pickups.

School Spirits arrived in 2023 and immediately struck a chord with me — and many other viewers — due to its compelling hook.

Ghost stories have been prevalent on the small screen for many years, but Paramount+ hit the big time with the show for its portrayal of a purgatory-like setting for a group of students who died at Split River High School.

According to Variety, viewership increased by 94% with the release of season 2, as the season debuted in January 2025 with 3.9 million viewers, an average cumulated in the first month of release.

Season three will also confirm if Wally stepped through his exit door. It’s the right choice to bring back the strange group of ghosts and living best friends because there is still so much to tell.

“We are so thrilled to bring School Spirits back to our devoted audiences for another season of masterful storytelling brought to life by Peyton List and the incredible cast,” stated Shauna Phelan, Head of Live Action Scripted Series and Film for Awesomeness and Nickelodeon. “Co-showrunners Oliver Goldstick, Nate Trinrud, and Megan Trinrud have an exceptional ability to capture the complexity and nuance of the teen experience, while also keeping audiences on their toes with the unexpected mystery,...

Throughout the second season, Maddie Nears (Peyton List) is still stuck in the afterlife with the knowledge of what happened to her and must unite her friends in the spectral and living worlds in order to reclaim her stolen life.

Third party data about the series’ performance is hard to come by, since it hasn’t appeared in Nielsen’s streaming Top 10. However, a triple-digit audience increase in the first week is a pretty significant boost.

Paramount also points to owned, domestic social post performance as an indicator of the show’s growing audience, as any posts regarding School Spirits published in the first seven days after the Season 2 debut have seen eight times the total engagement of Season 1 posts in that time frame.

School Spirits, a supernatural teen drama, is now trending on Netflix after originally premiering on Paramount+. The show is a compelling "whodunit" story about a high school student stuck in purgatory investigating her own mysterious death. The inspiration behind School Spirits came from TV shows like Dawson's Creek and Veronica Mars, and it started as a plan for a TV show before becoming a graphic novel.

The supernatural teen drama School Spirits is trending once again, which may inspire audiences to wonder where the unique TV series got its inspiration from. Although it was originally exclusive to Paramount+, the popular TV show is now getting the chance to shine on Netflix - and it's already capitalizing off of its opportunity of a second streaming home following its November 30 debut. As of this writing, School Spirits occupies the No. 4 spot among the streaming platform's top 10 TV shows in the U.S.

Peyton List will take another ethereal plunge into the hallways of Split River High. Paramount+ has renewed the supernatural series School Spirits for a second season. Peyton List will be reprising her role as Maddie, the spirited (pun intended) protagonist as per Collider.

The renewal comes as the streaming service looks to keep its grip on the Young Adult (YA) audience – and who better to pull in the masses than the phantoms of high school students with unfinished business?

In School Spirits, we're introduced to Maddie, a teenager who finds herself haunting her school postmortem. However, the afterlife is not as lonely as one might assume. Maddie discovers that she is not the only ghost roaming the corridors of Split River High. A handful of her peers, who have also met untimely ends, share her spectral existence.

But what sets Maddie apart is her unique ability to communicate with the living.

After a successful series premiere earlier this year, The Hollywood Reporter lets us know today that the Paramount+ streaming service has officially ordered up “School Spirits” Season 2.

The young adult mystery series stars Peyton List (Cobra Kai) as Madison, a student who dies at her school and is unable to leave as she tries to discover who killed her.

THR reports, “Season two is slated to begin production in 2024, with creators Megan Trinrud and Nate Trinrud and showrunner Oliver Goldstick set to return.”

“We saw how engaged the fans of the show were, and we’re really excited about not only the creative direction of the show [in season one], but the promise of the creative direction we’re aware of in the second season,” Shauna Phelan, executive vp and co-head of Nickelodeon and Awesomeness live-action series and films, told The Hollywood Reporter. “The audience responding to the show so positively and so...

Peyton List is waiting for the writers strike to end so she can get back to work on the sixth and final season of the Netflix series Cobra Kai – and once that’s done, she’ll be getting back to work on the Paramount+ series School Spirits! Paramount+ confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that they have ordered season 2 of the show, with filming expected to take place in 2024.

Based on a graphic novel by Nate and Megan Trinrud and Maria Nguyen, School Spirits sees List taking on the role of Madison, a student who dies at her school and is unable to leave as she tries to discover who killed her.

The first season ended on a cliffhanger, so I’m sure viewers are glad to hear the story will continue through another batch of episodes. The Trinrud siblings will be overseeing those episodes with showrunner Oliver Goldstick.

Screen Rant spoke...

The first three episodes of School Spirits just dropped on Paramount+, and they're filled with enough mystery to propel the series for years to come. The teen drama with a supernatural twist follows Maddie Nears as she lives out every teenager's worst nightmare. Destined to roam the halls of her high school as a ghost, Maddie takes it upon herself to discover the truth behind her murder, regardless of the consequences.

Nate Trinrud and Megan Trinrud are the creators of School Spirits with Oliver Goldstick serving as the showrunner. Goldstick is most notably known for his work on Pretty Little Liars, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, and Bridgerton. In addition to their work on the show, the Trinuds wrote the upcoming School Spirits graphic novel. The main cast includes Peyton List (Cobra Kai), Kristian Flores, Spencer MacPherson, Kiara Pichardo, Rainbow Wedell, Sarah Yarkin, Nick Pugliese, and Milo Manheim.

School Spirits is coming to Paramount+ on Thursday, March 9.

It follows the story of Maddie, a high school student who goes missing from the school.

Maddie may be missing, but her spirit remains, and she discovers there's a thriving afterlife associated with the school of all of those who died within it.

The series has a wonderful, talented cast and is bursting with emotion. The underlying mystery of what happened to Maddie provides a solid throughline for getting to know more about the school and its permanent (?) inhabitants.

We participated in press day to get a little insight into the show, but it's more of a tease. After all, we don't want to take away the joy of discovering the School Spirits' mysteries on your own!
