Thanks to an official update, fans know when to expect the release of School Spirits Season 2.

Starring Peyton List and Kristian Ventura, School Spirits first premiered on March 9, 2023 on Paramount+.

The series follows a girl named Maddie who recently died in her school. However, not aware at first that she passed, she must go on an investigative journey to discover exactly how she passed away.

In June 2023, Paramount+ officially renewed School Spirits for a Season 2.

More recently, star Peyton List was asked via Instagram for any updates regarding Season 2, to which she responded, "It is coming. I promise."

However, due to her filming the sixth and final season of Netflix's Cobra Kai at the time, her schedule was full.

Kristian Ventura, who plays Simon in the show, spoke to The Direct at the end of 2023. While he wasn't positive when Season 2 would start filming, he predicted it would be sometime in the summer:

"You know, everyone's operating on their own schedules... They are writing the series. My best prediction is we're all going to be in Vancouver in the summer. And it's going to take a couple months for the writers to get back into the room and hash out the second season. I think we're looking at a summer start date."

This ended up being the case, with Peyton List confirming production had started on June 13 via an Instagram post. The Union of British Columbia Performers (abbreviated as UBCP/ACTRA) officially listed that School Spirits Season 2 will last until September 5 (nearly three months).

The upcoming season will debut soon after, with Paramount+ confirming on its press portal that School Spirits Season 2 will return this fall.

This comes as a welcome surprise, given that Season 1's premiere in March 2023 took place a good five months after filming ended in November 2022.

What Will Happen in School Spirits Season 2?

School Spirits Season 2 will have many plotlines to explore, but none will likely be as dire as getting Maddie to switch back into her real body so that she can swap places with Janet.

The dynamic between Maddie and the rest of the spirits will also likely play a major role in Season 2 as they try to figure out and plan how to get Maddie to switch places with Janet.

Of course, Maddie and Simon's relationship also has much potential to become an even bigger plot thread in Season 2, so all eyes will be on both in the upcoming installment.


Season 1 of School Spirits is streaming on Paramount+ and Netflix, and Season 2 will begin production on June 17.
