Class is In Session For ‘School Spirits’ Season 2 (2024)

It’s official — class is back in session for the cast and crew of Paramount+’s School Spirits. Cameras have picked up on the sophom*ore season of the fan-favorite series with a slew of cast members returning from the first installment to unravel more mysteries in the town of Split River, Wisconsin. Audiences can expect to see the familiar faces of Peyton List (Aileen Wuornos: American Boogeywoman), Kristian Ventura (Gray Matter), Spencer MacPherson (Degrassi: Next Class), Kiara Pichardo (The Society), Sarah Yarkin (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Nick Pugliese (Dramarama), Rainbow Wedell (The Wilds), Josh Zuckerman (Kyle XY), and Milo Manheim (Disney’s Zombies franchise).

The debut season of School Spirits followed List’s Maddie Nears, your average high school student who finds herself on the wrong side of the fine line between life and afterlife after she’s murdered on school property. It’s there that she meets other students and a teacher in the afterlife support group where those souls stuck within the brick confines of the local high school gather to share their stories and become a found family. With the help of the group, Maddie sets out on a quest to uncover exactly what happened to her in the moments leading up to her death and who is ultimately responsible for her demise. The first season was filled with plenty of sharp twists and surprises, leaving audiences on a cliffhanger by the time the Season 1 finale turned to black, leaving plenty of questions unanswered as we head into Season 2.

Along with the main cast members, School Spirits Season 2 welcomes a handful of recurring guest stars to the halls of high school. Included in the lineup of returning names will be Maria Dizzia (The Staircase), Patrick Gilmore (Stargate Universe), and Ian Tracey (Peter Pan & Wendy), while the list of newcomers is set with Jess Gabor (Shameless), Zack Calderon (The Afterparty), Miles Elliot (The Amazing Spider-Man), and Cihang Ma (Departure).
