The wait is over! Paramount+ just released a sneak peek at the much-anticipated second season of School Spirits. However, a release date has not yet been confirmed.
Fans have been eagerly waiting after the jaw-dropping twist in the Season 1 finale. But before diving into what’s coming next, let’s rewind and process what happened in that wild freshman season.
Based on the graphic novel, School Spirits is about Maddie Nears, a teenager trapped in the afterlife. Maddie is working to solve the mystery of her death and receives help from two friends, another teenage ghost and Simon, who is alive. Together, they're trying to find out who was responsible for Maddie's death.
But here’s the kicker: Maddie never actually died! Another ghost who had some serious unfinished business separated her spirit from her body. So, what does this mean for Season 2? Let’s break it down!
Release details
There isn't an exact release date for season 2. However, filming began on June 13, 2023. Based on this, season 2 might be ready for release by 2025.
In Season 1, we followed Maddie as she tried to find out who killed her. Along the way, she found several suspects, each with their dark secrets. However, at the end of the season, we discovered that Maddie wasn't dead.
Her spirit was separated from her body by a ghost who had died in a fire started by Mr. Martin, the leader of the support group. The season ended with Maddie boarding a bus, leaving viewers with a major cliffhanger.

Plot predictions for Season 2
While Paramount+ has kept most plot details under wraps, we do know that Season 2 will pick up right where the first left off. Maddie knows why she's a ghost now and is stuck in a world of ghosts. This season, she needs help from her friends - both the living ones and the supernatural ones.
But what’s next? How will Maddie get her body back? Can Simon help her from the real world? And what about Mr. Martin, who caused all this trouble? Things are more intense than ever, and we’re excited to see what happens next.
Trailer breakdown
Paramount+ showed the teaser at New York Comic Con. This video gave us hints about the upcoming season of the show. In the video, we see Maddie talking. She says that the world of ghosts can be frightening. She also mentions that it's not easy to look at your behavior and thoughts.
The intense visuals show Maddie standing in front of a window with her reflection twisted in a haunting way. There’s also a brief, intriguing moment where Maddie kisses Wally, adding romance to the complicated storyline.
While the trailer doesn’t give much away regarding plot specifics, it sets the tone for another season filled with mystery, suspense, and supernatural drama.
We anticipate that the new School Spirits season will be as entertaining and puzzling as season 1. With new faces, unresolved questions, and high stakes, fans can expect more twists, emotional moments, and ghostly surprises.
