If you haven’t heard of the hit supernatural teen drama School Spirits yet, you’re missing out big time. However, fear not, if you start now you still have some time to finish the first season before season 2 comes out. It’s so enticing that you can probably knock out those 8 episodes just in time. Better get on it!
As a refresher, or if you haven’t seen it before – the series follows the main character, Maddie Nears, who isn’t quite sure what happened to her, but is desperate for answers regarding her sudden disappearance when she winds up in a peculiar afterlife. As she remains stuck in her high school with other deceased peers, she struggles with the concept of her disappearance and trying to piece together the mystery of her death. Navigating her strange ghostly presence, she forms new relationships with both the living and dead, uncovers dark secrets about her peers, and remains confused and frustrated with her situation as she searches for answers.
This show is so well written and perfectly incorporates elements of supernatural ideas, teenage angst, suspense, and relationships, keeping viewers hooked and eagerly craving more. Many viewers have praised the show for its well-articulated blend of teen drama, unique concepts, and complex characters and storylines. I won’t say too much more to avoid spoilers if you haven’t hopped on the bandwagon yet so we’ll leave it at that, and you’ll just have to watch to find out! Now that we have a background, let’s get into the highly anticipated second season!
To follow the dramatic and shocking cliffhanger ending of season 1 and continue the storyline, this season will start off with a continuation of Maddie’s quest for answers and diving deeper into the mystery of her death and the darker forces at play within the school and the afterlife, keeping many of the same themes as the first season – such as who can and can’t be trusted, relationships, rivalries, etc., as Maddie uncovers more dark secrets and explores how her death affected the people she left behind in the real world. Viewers can expect a darker and more intense shift in tone compared to season 1 as the story progresses with all its twists and turns, as well as the introduction of some new characters – both living and dead, who will serve as a key role in Maddie’s journey to finding out the truth.
The first 3 episodes of Season 2 will be available on Paramount+ this Thursday, January 30th, and the show’s loyal fans can’t wait to see what’s in store! You can get a head start or wait until February 3rd when all the episodes are out – are you ready?
