School Spirits Season 3: Everything we know so far
Can you believe the rollercoaster that was School Spirits Season 2? The Paramount+ supernatural teen drama, led by the phenomenal Peyton List as Maddie Nears, has fans clamoring for more after its jaw-dropping finale. With Season 3 officially greenlit, the buzz is real! From potential plot to cast members, here's the full scoop on School Spirits Season 3—everything we know so far. What's Next for Maddie? Season 3 Potential Plot
The Season 2 finale of School Spirits left us with more questions than answers, and Season 3 is poised to dive into some seriously spooky territory. Maddie finally kicked Janet out of her body, but the cost was steep: her best friend Simon is now trapped in Mr. Martin's scar, a creepy supernatural limbo. Meanwhile, Xavier's sudden ghost-seeing powers (hello, Maddie's dad!) and Wally's ambiguous crossover moment have fans on edge. What's next for Split River High's ghostly gang?
Here's what we expect Season 3 to tackle:
Rescuing Simon: Maddie's not one to leave her bestie behind. Season 3 will likely center on her mission to free Simon from the afterlife, possibly exploring their unique supernatural bond. Could this quest unleash new dangers?
School Secrets Unraveled: Those eerie red lights in the finale? They hint that the ghosts' scar-diving shenanigans shook up the school's paranormal energy. Will the 'energy fence' keeping ghosts trapped lift, letting them roam free or revealing a bigger mystery in town?
Wally's Big Choice: Did Wally cross over for good, or is he sticking around? His heartwarming arc and chemistry with Maddie make his potential exit a tearjerker, but we're crossing our fingers for Milo Manheim's return.
With showrunners Nate and Megan Trinrud promising more twists, expect Season 3 to blend emotional stakes with mind-bending supernatural lore. Who's Back? School Spirits Season 3 Expected Cast
No official cast list for Season 3 yet, but the core crew is almost certain to return, given their roles in the unfolding drama. Here's who we expect to see haunting Split River High again: Peyton List as Maddie Nears, the determined teen unraveling her afterlife puzzle.

‘Descendants' Turns 10: Kenny Ortega Recalls Fighting for Cameron Boyce to Play Carlos
The release of Descendants on July 31, 2015, ushered in a new era for Disney Channel. The Disney princesses took a backseat, and the kids of iconic Disney villains reigned. In the original film, Mal (Dove Cameron), Evie (Sofia Carson), Carlos (Cameron Boyce), and Jay (Booboo Stewart) — the offspring of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil, and Jafar – are given the opportunity for redemption in Auradon. These 'rotten to the core' kiddos travel from the Isle of the Lost to the storybook-perfect Auradon Prep for a second chance. Each member of the Core Four goes on their own journey of self-discovery in Descendants, complete with sensational musical numbers and catchy bops that still have a place on our playlists. Descendants became a global phenomenon, spawning two direct follow-ups and the recent standalone sequel, Descendants: The Rise of Red. In honor of the 10th anniversary of the movie that started it all, legendary director Kenny Ortega spoke with TV Insider about casting his Core Four, working with the late Cameron Boyce, and more. Ortega revealed that Cameron, best known for her role on Disney Channel's Liv & Maddie at the time, was cast as Mal first. From the jump, he wanted to work with Boyce 'so badly.' The prolific director remembered, 'The studio, the wonderful Judy Taylor, who was head of casting for Disney Channel, and Gary Marsh, the President and CCO of the company, had said, 'Cameron Boyce, we're saving him for his own movie.' And I just said, 'Well, can we just ask him?' They were like, 'We're putting him in as the sort of top character.' And I was like, 'But I think he'd love this part, and I think he would love and enjoy this. It's got dancing, and I know he likes to dance.'' Jack Rowand / Disney Channel / Everett Collection Fate made sure Ortega and Boyce's paths crossed at just the right time. 'One afternoon I walked out of a casting session, and Cameron was sitting in the chair right outside the door. I thought he was there for me, and I got so excited. I went over and I said, 'I can't believe you're here.' And he was like, 'Hi, Kenny Ortega.' And I was like, 'Cameron Boyce, I so want to work with you.' And he's like, 'I want to work with you, too.' And then he told me he was there for a different audition. When I started telling him about the project, he was like, 'I would love to be in that. I would love to do this.' I walked back in, and I was like, 'Alright, everybody, Cameron's in the hallway. He wants to be in Descendants. We've gotta make this happen.' I got my way. I got my chance to work with Cameron, and the rest is history.' Boyce sadly died on July 6, 2019, at the age of 20 due to complications from epilepsy. His death occurred just weeks before the premiere of Descendants 3. Ortega said he feels 'truly special' to have been able to capture Boyce as Carlos in all three Descendants movies. 'I got to be with him all the way there until the end of his brief existence here with us,' Ortega told TV Insider. 'But what's really been incredible over the last 10 years is the development of the Cameron Boyce Foundation, which honors his legacy of giving back. We're looking deeply into finding a cure for epilepsy. We're doing our best to inspire young people to make good choices, to have great lives. He was building wells in communities that were without water. We're behind the Cameron Boyce Foundation as if he were with us today, guiding us along this incredible path to give to the world, and hopefully one day find the answer to set up and how to stop this from injuring and taking the lives of young people ever again.' Bob D'Amico / Disney Channel / Everett Collection The success of Descendants hinged upon the connection between Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay, misfits who step outside of their parents' shadows. Ortega knows a thing or two about finding the right cast for a project. 'Cast chemistry has always been important for me. You can't direct it. You can't guide it. You can't ask for it. It just exists. Zac [Efron] and Vanessa [Hudgens, from High School Musical] in the room made it impossible for us to think of any other combination, and when I said yes to Descendants, Gary pitched me over the phone. I didn't even read the script. I was like, 'I want in.' Then I realized, my gosh, the challenge that I was facing taking Disney heritage characters and giving them their children and really having to take that off the page to develop those characters into characters that the world was going to embrace.' The Hocus Pocus director revealed that his Descendants team took their time to find the perfect ensemble. 'We really looked for the promise,' he noted. 'What I always say to actors is I'm not just looking for actors, I'm looking for partners. I'm looking for people that are going to bring something to the party every day, like Ashley Tisdale. These were the four, and they brought something to the party every day for three movies.' He added, 'Every kid that sings on those records is singing on those records and singing in the movie. Every one of them. That's all I've been asked of me many, many times over, and we really lucked out. Triple threats, all of them, Stewart is a martial artist, painter, singer, dancer, actor, equestrian. Cameron started off break dancing and then classical training. He could do ballet. I was so fortunate that there was nothing I could ask of them that they couldn't turn out. As I said, partners that could bring something to the party every day. It was them that helped me engineer the movie.' , Streaming Now, Disney+ Solve the daily Crossword

Couple Buy Couch From Facebook Marketplace, Get a Big Surprise at 3 A.M.
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. About a year ago, a couple who purchased a couch on Facebook Marketplace quickly realized that the item came with more than they had bargained for. Derian, known on TikTok as @ recently shared a clip about the surprise he received after placing his newly purchased couch in his home. He set it up in the living room, noticing the perfect fit, but at 3 a.m., things took a turn. He looked between the back of the couch and the wall and saw an object moving. A furry animal began shimmying her way out. As it turned out, this Facebook Marketplace purchase came with a surprise that wasn't part of the buying agreement: a cat. He posted the throwback video to TikTok on July 27, showing the moment the feline crawled out from the couch. She hesitantly climbed from behind to the top, cautiously taking in her new surroundings. Derian wrote in the video that she was "so confused." She entered an entirely new home, with new smells, new people and new surroundings. Whatever home she had previously was no longer. Plus, she made it through the transport and travel while the couch was on a truck. He told Newsweek via TikTok that he had contacted the sellers, but they said they did not own a cat. This left him with a new cat. Screenshots from a July 27 TikTok video of a cat coming out of a couch someone bought off Facebook Marketplace. Screenshots from a July 27 TikTok video of a cat coming out of a couch someone bought off Facebook Marketplace. @ With confirmation the cat didn't belong to the sellers, Derian and his family happily welcomed her into their home and named her Maddie. They couldn't turn down an extra furry companion, even if they didn't plan on it. "Maddie is in excellent condition," Derian said. "She's a beautiful, loving blue Russian cat. She just loves to love. She also has a sister named Mia." Viewer Reactions The TikTok video amassed over 1.2 million views and 144,600 likes within two days of posting. Stunned at the unusualness of this video, people flooded the comment section, calling it a "win" for this family. "Listen, the cat's name is now Couch, and you bought him fair and square," joked a viewer. Another pointed out: "That cat's probably like, ' long was I sleeping? Where am I? WHO am I?!'" Looking on the bright side, someone else wrote: "Better a cat than bugs or mice. Cats are sweet creatures." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
