Peyton List will continue her investigation from beyond the grave on Paramount+. Two months after the first season of School Spirits wrapped, the streaming platform has confirmed that the series, created by Nate Trinrud and Megan Trinrud, has been picked up for a second season. The renewal comes as no surprise, as the series has quickly won over viewers with an 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.6/10 rating on IMDB.
Domenic DiMeglio, chief marketing officer and head of data at Paramount Streaming, said in a release that “School Spirits developed such a passionate and engaged fan base over the course of its first season, marking one of our most popular new young adult series to date. The creative minds behind the series – showrunner Oliver Goldstick and creators Nate Trinrud & Megan Trinrud – and the extremely talented cast brought audiences a fresh take on high school – both in the present and in the after-life – and we can’t wait to see what happens next at Split River High.”
The second season of School Spirits is scheduled to begin filming in early 2024. The new episodes will air exclusively on Paramount+ in the US, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and South Korea, as well as Canada and the UK.
