School will soon be back in session at at Split River High (aka literal purgatory). After leaving fans with some major questions — did Wally (Milo Manheim) cross over? What’s going to happen to Simon (Kristian Ventura) in limbo? — School Spirits will offer answers in Season 3.
Don’t expect the show to be any less twisty than usual, though. Paramount+ has promised that the YA drama will offer “deeper and darker” mysteries than ever before. Even though Maddie (Peyton List) succeeded in reuniting with her body in the Season 2 finale, she has plenty of other problems to solve.
TV Insider spoke with executive producers Oliver Goldstick, Megan Trinrud, and Nate Trinrud ahead of School Spirits’Season 3 renewal, and the latter said they already had a roadmap for the story, and anything that didn’t add up in Season 2 was by design. “We’re really intentional with the way that we do that stuff. If people watch Season 2 closely, there’s a lot of clues about where Season 3 is going,” Megan Trinrud said.
